TWO THREATENED
BY EASTERN STAR
Everett viii Try to Better
100 Hurdle and Jump
Marks Tomorrow.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

w YHILE plenty of bang-up
W. competition is expected
to mark the annual pub
lie high school cham
pionship track and field meet to-
morrow afternoon in Central High
School Stadium only a couple of
records appear in danger.
Judging from performances of
the athletes this season only the
120-yard high hurdles and the
broad Jump marks are in jeopardy.
Grover Everett. stellar little Eastern
High athlete, whose team is favored
to win the meet for the third year in
succession, is the boy who seems to
have a real chance of lettering the
standards in both events.
Slye Has Chance.
A teammate, Bob Slye, also appears
to have a good show of doing some
record breaking, at least in the 100
yard high hurdles. Slye last year hung
up the mark for this event, 16 is sec
onds. Neither he ncr Everett has
equaled this performance this season,
though Slye ran the event in 1925 in
the University of Maryland meet and
Everett made the same time in the
Catholic University &C" Club meets.
In the &C" Club games last Saturday
Everett leaped 81 feet 512 inches in
the broad jump, which is just inches
short of the mark hung up by Sidney
Kent OF Central way back in 1903.
Everett's next best performance this
year was in the Maryland affair, when
he jumped 81 feet 2I2 inches. Slye also
is a broad jumper of ability. He old
20 feet 1134 inches to win the event in
the c. U. meet.
Year after year for some 80 years
the high school boys have been striv-
ing to lower the records for the 100
and 900, but these marks doubtless are
safe until 1882 at least.
In the century the record is 10 Sec
onds and in the 900 it is % Us seconds.
Ten-Second Performers.
w. Richard Dear of Central estab-
100-yard performance in 1901 on the
Georgetown University track and his
record-breaking 220 year later also
at Georgetown. Bryan Morse and Syl-
vester Maxam, both of Western, and
Eddie Quinn of Tech since have equaled
the 100-yard standard, but none has
equaled the 220 mark. Morse ran the
100 in 10 seconds at Georgetown in
1905, Maxam did it in 1914 st College
Park and Quinn did it last year.
