'Tt will be all Tech In the

soned performers as Dave Sprin'
kle and Bob Campbell, but they
have pretty good men in Bernie
Copper, Edwin Miller, Harry
Lewis, Morris Wolfe and Harry
Switzer.
Miller and Switzer tied Sprin
kle for high jumping honors in
the inter-high meet last spring
Copper finished second in the
broad Jump division, and Wolfe
was the runner up in the discus
competition.
BY the way, Copper is an ac-
complished footballer. Last year
he was sub in the backfield, but
Coach Guyon sees a great future
for the Stockily built fellow next
season.
Guyon particularly likes the way
Copper smacks the line. He says
Copper hits harder than any high
school player he has seen for
many a day.
Wolfe Is Giant
Wolfe is the giant Of the track
team. He stands 6 foot and
weighs 1876 pounds.
Joe Keegin, who also plays base
ball and football, has run the
quarter mile in remarkable time,
and may develop into a pretty
good trackman.
Lewis is the best quarter-milec
on Eastern's team. Kelley ex-
poets him to finish in the money
in the inter-high meet.
Herman Lightfoot, another
youngster, has the makings of a
crack high hurdler, but it will be
another year before he hits his
stride, according to Kelley.

WAGES RAISED
ABOVE LEVEL
Of 1929

Higher hourly wage rates than
those in 1929 have been put into
effect by American Brass Com
pany, controlled by Anaconda
Copper Mining Company. accord
ing to John A. Coe, president. A
10 per cent increase was made ef-
fective April /, in all of the COM
pany's factories throughout the
country, benefiting from 10000 to
10000 employees.
Similar advances have also been
announced by Chase Companies,
Inc, a subsidiary Of Kennecott
Copper Company, and the Scoville
Manufacturing Company, Of Wa.
terbury. F. S. Chase, president
of Chase Companies. said:
"It is a very serious thing to
raise wages in a time when
companies are not making a
profit. 1t not only calls for
great optimism concerning the
future, but it means real loss to
our companies at this time"
The companies will have to abb
Sorb the increased labor costs on
contracts already in force and be-
cause of the highly competitive
condition of business, the increase
may effect future business.
The 10 per cent wage increase
will be effective at the Chase
Brass and Copper plant at Cleve-
land and the new hourly rate will
be higher than that prevailing in
1929. More than 1000 workers
will benefit.

time in the future, maybe before

Cecil first began playing base
ball in a big way in 1882, when
he was picked from nowhere and
nominated as the regular third

Immediately he set the league
on fire, both afield and at bat,
and it was not long before Clark

men, beckoned 70 Joe Engel

the youngster up to the Griffs
for a trial.
Travis, a mere kid Of 20, is the
model athlete. Smoking, drink

his habits. But "Ceece" as he's
called by his mates, is a regular

to learn everything he can about
playing third base.
