TECH IS FIGURED
i TO FINISH SECOND.
HardeII Thinks His Charges
viii Beat Eastern, Winner
for Past Three Years.

6HOUGH CenJrdl won Lne
University of Maryland in
terscholaStic track meet by
only IL points over Tech,
SO to 31H, Coach Hap Hardell,
while admitting that the McKin-
ley squad did better than expect
ed, still believes that Central will
win the public high school meet
May 27.
He figures, though, that Tech will
furnish Central an interesting fight and
will gather more points than Eastern.
This despite that Mike Kelley who
coaches the Eastern squad feels that
the Lincoln Parkers have a chance to
captlre the meet which they have won
the last three years.
Hardell believes Central has too much
veteran material not to speak of sew
eral newcomers WHO have shown real
promise, to be beaten. If the Columbia
Heights boys do win it will be the first
time In several years they have reached
the heights in a sport in which they
once were dominant
incidentally, some further idea as to
the relative strength of the Eastern
and Tech teams may be gained in the
Mckinley Maryland Freshman meet
tomorrow afternoon at College Park.
The Old Line yearlings recently de-
feated Eastern, 63 to 54, at College
Park.
A BOLTON Of junior high school
n track competition here soon will be
reflected in mediocre performances
among the senior high school athletes,
In the opinion of one prominent in
sports activities in the senior group.
Competition may be as keen as ever
but an athlete who has not had the
benefit of preliminary training neces-
Sarily will not be as likely to break
records as one who has had this prep
aration. it is pointed out.
Coaches also have only three years
TO work with junior high school grad
yates, who enter the senior institutions
as sophomores.
Gonzaga and Western, old athletic
foes, will face tomorrow afternoon on
the Western diamond in the most at
tractive of four ball games listed for
the scholastics.
In other encounters the Eastern
and WaShington-Lea High mines will
meet at Eastern, Emerson and Gen.
tral at Central and Georgetown Prep
and Charlotte Hall at Charlotte Hall.
In addition to the Eastern Maryland
yearling track meet, the only other en-
gagement for a District team is the
tennis match listed between st. Johns
and Leonard Hall at Leonardtown.
A championship game between Gen.
tral and Tech, those time-honored foes,
to be played in the Eastern Stadium,
starting at $3.50 o'clock, was the big
attraction this afternoon. A diamond
clash between Georgetown Prep and
Rockville High at Rockville and Prep
School Tennis League match between
Gonzaga and st. Adams at st. Adams
were other engagements carded.
WHEN Catcher Leo Hilleary of the
w Western High ball team failed to
hold the ball after Bill Payne had
famed Bauer in the sixth inning OF
his teams game with the University OF
Maryland freshmen yesterday at Col
lege Park. Boots Archer raced across
the plate with the run that gave the
Old Liners a 2-to-1 victory. Play was
called in the seventh.
It was a battle royal all the way,
with Payne having the better of Bob
Love, Maryland hurler. The former
allowed only two hits, one a scratch,
and Love gave up five. 1t was the
Marylander's fourth win in as many
games and the sixth for his team in
seven starts.
