IN POWER
By GINO SINH


AT least a half dozen long
standing Central &C" Club track
and field records are headed for
the aSh-can at Wilson Stadium to-
morrow if the "Whattmen" re-
puted to make up the lineup Of
out-of-town schools even slightly
approach advance ballyhoo.
Close followers of scholastic
cinder path doings see MERGERS
burg Prep, of Pennsylvania, romp
ing away with the decision, with
Woodberry Forest giving them g.
battle, and Episcopal, John Mar
shall, Tech and Eastern staging
q bitter fight for third honorS.
Little detail information is
available regarding the individual
performances of the PennSylvan-
1anS, but the fact that they have
yet to lose a meet this season
Notwithstanding the fact that
they have faced some Of the
toughest competition on the At
lantic Seaboard is sufficient for
the local dopeSterS.
Fabulous FeatS
The fabulous feats of Harry
Harmon, of Woodberry Forest, and
John Tufts, of Episcopal, will
make these two the stand-out in
dividual attractions of the meet.
Harmon has bettered the "C'
Club present marks for the high
and broad jump.
In dual meet last Saturday
Harmon covered % feet 512
inches in the broad jump and
topped the cross bar at 6 feet 1s
inch in the high jump. But his
performance in Virginia State
meet was even more impressive.
Despite a turf softened by con-
tinued rains and further handi-
capped by occasional drizzleS dur
ing the meet, he high jumped 6
feet "a inch and broad jumped %
feet IA inches. He is also no
Slouch with the discus, pitching
1t for an average of 1870 feet.
Even more versatile and in
many ways more dangerous is
Tufts, of Episcopal. He is a dash
man and broad jumper, but his
speciality is the hurdles. He has
covered the 120-yard high hurdles
in 15.5 seconds and the 220 in %
flat. both under the &C" record.
In the Virginia meet, where the
damp going was more of handi-
cap to him than Harmon, he
turned in times of 16.5 for the
high obstacles and 26.4 for the
lows.
Episcopal has another potential
point scorer in "Slick" Hoxton,
who can cover the 220 yards and
quarter-mile in excellent time.
Headley, of Hargreave, who
forced King, of Baltimore Poly,
to crack the one-mile mark to
beat him by a handSpan last
year, will be back, faster than
ever, tomorrow. Holland, of
John Marshall. second in last
years 440, and Roller, of Harri-
sonburg, who won the $50 yards,
will also be back for another and
stronger try.
Speedy Half Miller
John Marshall is said to have
a chap named Odell who trots
the $50 yards in around so Sec
onds and a one-mile relay team
which has a habit of breezing
around the course in 3 minutes
q seconds.
Frank Kocsis, broad jump and
javelin expert, is regarded as Gen.
trails chief hope. KocsiS out
leaped the field in the broad
jump in last seasons meet, but
was disqualified for overstepping
the take-off board. Eastern looks
to Vic Caron, in the hurdles, Dave
Sprinkle, in the high and broad
jump and pole vault, George
Campbell in the shot-put and dis
Gus, Art Shaw in the $50, and
Joe Mills with the javelin.
Hap Hardell's best bets for
Tech are Pearson, Began. and
Emmerick in the daSheS, Morri-
sette in the shot and discus, Lank
in the $50 yards, and Smith in
the pole-vault. Sholtes. winner
Of the Maryland interscholastic
one-mile, is Westerns ace.
