/ VETERANS
SPOTSTAR
ARRAY

There are so or 60 reasons why
track should once more be a sue.
cess at Eastern High School this
year.
Those reasons are possibly in
the team itself, which comprises
about 60 candidates.
In other words, quality is the
keynote of Coach Kelley's crew
this season.
Eleven Veterans in Line
There are II veterans on vhe
squad this year. This is big
help right from the start. They
include Wolfe and Campbell,
quarter-milers; Palmer and Tru-
lit, sprinters; Davis, dashman;
Howard discus man; Sprinkle,
high jump, and Hutchison, pole
vaulter and shot-putter.
Then there is the star pair
of hurdlers and broad jumpers,
Tom Everett and Bob Slaye,
who made the records look sick
last year by their work in
breaking them.
George Shorb, half-miler and
letterman, completes the list of
holdovers.
Many football men spot this
array, by the way. They include
Wolfe and Campbell, who were
expert linemen on Coach Kelley'S
eleven last fall Palmer and
Truitt, fast travelling backs, and
Shorb, center. Wolfe was selected
on The Washington Times All
High team, while Shorb was given
a post on the second team.
The Light Blue cindermen have
been in practice for the past
three weeks now. At the present
time they are going through the
motions in the armory of the
school and in the spacious halls.
Squad Is Serious
Everything is seriousness about
the squad, so much, in fact, that
Coach Kelley does not have to
raise his voice in telling this
man or that one what to do, or
how o 90 it. They all know and
comply With Coach Kelley's few
simple rules and instructions.
It IS fortunate that Coach Mike
has such a collection of Veterans
under his wing this year. Losing
such Clen by graduation as Weber,
Glow, Swope and the Miles broth
ers, Chester and Frank, would
wreck almost any team, not to
mention losing men of the caliber
OF jenkins, high jumper, and
parhooc shot-putter.
Weber, Glow, SwOpe and
Chester Miles were members of
the capable relay team last
year. They also were expert
quarter -milers. Frank Miles
was a miller.
Wolfe and Campbell and Truitt
and Palmer are expected to take
the place of the graduated men
mentiond above in the running
events. They probably are not
as good, but good enough, is the
thought.
Coach Kelley is concentrating
all efforts at the present time
towards getting his men into
excellent trim for several indoor
meets listed in the near future.
The most important of these
are the Meadowbrook games at
Philadelphia on February II, and
the Catholic University meet here
on March 7.
The team will participate in
the annual Central &C" Club
games. the inter-high meet, and
the Penn Relays, as the most
important of the outdoor events.
Dual meets with Episcopal High
and the Maryland Freshmen are
also listed to complete a busy
schedule.

BRITISH PROS
TRY j, 8. BALL

The British Ryder Cup profes-
sional golf team, which meets
the United States Ryder Cup
squad at the Scioto Club, Colum-
bus, Ohio, this summer, will not
be handicapped by the new golf
ball which h~2ame standard in
this country on January 10.
Charles A. Whitcombe, who
will captain the invading forces,
and Harry Cotton, as we'll as
many other leading British pros,
have been practicing with the
new United States ball. This
indicates that the Americans will
have but little edge on their
foes from across the sea when
the matches get under way.
1t has also been learned that
WhitcOmbe and Cotton probably
will oppose Tommy Armour
and Gene SaraZen in a four
ball match prior to the Ryder
Cup series.
George Diffenbaugh, who is as
Sistant to Bob Barnett at the
ritzy Indian Creek Club at Miami
Beach, Fla, says the course is
one of the hardest he has ever
played on.
"This is some tough course"
writes George from Florida. ut

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, April IL
Held without bail after a preliminary
court hearing, Mrs. Frances Thomson,
29, former school teacher, was a
prisoner in the Luzerne County Jail

Thomsen's mental condition.
Feared "LOve Cult"
Letters written by Mrs. Thomson and
found in Miss Dilley'S home were read
today during the three hour arraign-
ment. They were written by the Pitts
burgh woman while she was haunted by
the fear, she said, that Miss Dilley was
planning to start "love cult in the
Pocono Mountains. Mrs. Thomsen's
husband was to be appointed general
manager Of the love school," according
to the letters.
These letters dated back to four years
ago, when the Thomson family lived
across the street from Miss Dilley. While
some of them were written in correct
English, several others we're in a
rambling style, difficult to decipher 1t
was the fear of losing her husband to
the older woman that unbalanced Mrs
Thomson, her attorney said.

pect OF lining up what he termed

any preseason predictions of the
probable success of his squad.
Anderson, first assistant to the
late Knute Rockne, entered the uni

Rockne became head coach. In his
present capacity, which officials
limited might be dissipated' by the
appointment within a few days of

TROJAN TRACK
STARS FAVORED
TO BEAT BEARS

LOS ANGELES, April IL. U.p) -
Track and field teams OF the uni
versities of Southern California and
California met in the Coliseum this
afternoon, with the Trojans over
whelmingly favored to win despite
indications that the Bears might
clean up in the field events.
Coach Dean Cromwell's Trojans,
national champions three times In
the last five years, have not shown
the strength in the field they usually
have at this period of the year.
The Bears, strength lay In the
javelin pole vault, mile, two mile
and broad jump. In the former,
Ken Churchill, who already has
broken his national record in the
spear event, should have an easy
time. George Pool. who vaulted 13
feet, II inches against the Los An
geles Athletic club, was conceded
first in the pole vault, while Cap
tain Spud MosSman, cinch TO win
the two mile, may repeat in the
mile.
Frank Wykoff, Trojan world rec
ord holder in the hundred yard
dash, was expected to finish in front
In both the century and 22O yard
dash, with Sparks Of California bat
ting Delby OF Southern California
for second honors.
The Trojans were conceded first
place in all track events from the
century to $50 yard run, and IN the
