SOCCER TITLE

Blow School soccerists are the
District elementary school cham
pions today. The best part Of this
item is the fact the team defeated
the champs of last year-Park
View-in 2-to-0 game yesterday
on the Benning Field.
The game was one of the best
of the series this year. Excellent
defensive work was exhibited by
both teams, and it was all Blow
could do to sneak its two goals
past the Park View goalie. Bolts
and Stasulli scored these points.
A junior soccer game was played
yesterday. 1t ended in a ScorelesS
tie and it found the teams playing
to extra periods in an effort to de-
eide the issue one way or the
other. The game was between
Georgetown and Sherwood.
Both goals were threatened dur
ing play, but the desired maneuver
was not there when a point could
have been scored.

OFFER TEST To
CUNNINGHAM

NOW YORK, March 16.-Ring-
ing down the curtain on the
1885 indoor season, the New
York Chapter, Knights of Colum-
bus sixteenth annual track and
field meet tonight offers out
standing performers their last
chance to better existing indoor
records.
Thousands of eyes will be
riveted on Glenn Cunningham,
undefeated miller, who in this
meet doubles in the 1,0OO-yard
race and the traditional Colum-
bian mile.
Venzhe Always Threat
It was just year ago that the
flying Kansan led the pack to
the tape in the mile, setting a
world record of 4:08.4. This year
Glenn must have the necessary
kick in the closing furlongs of
the race to ward off Gene Venzke
the lean Penn runner who to
night sees his best chance to tri-
umph over Cunningham.
Cunningham has been pitted
against Chuck Hornbostel, of In.
diana, in the 1000. At the crack
of Johnny McHugh's gun Elton
Brown, national A. A. U. 800.
meter champion from Kansas
City; Glen Dawson, the Tulsa
farmer, and Johnny Thompson,
from Manhattan College, will be
raring to take over the heralded
stars of the field. This race
promises to eclipse Harold c. Cut
bills mark of 2:12, set in 1922
Cunningham and Hornbostel will
be out to prove their mettle.
Hornbostel meets a picked
field in the Casey 600, a scant
hour and a quarter after the
1000. This double requires
plenty of stamina on his part,
for among others in the event
will be Milton Sander, National
A. A. U. champion; Timmy Ring,
of Holy Gross; Ivan Fuqua, his
Indiana University team,mate,
and Glenn Hardin, Louisiana
State.
Will Bear Watching
Hardin will bear watching, for
although he made poor show.
ing in the A. A. U. meet he has
been Americas unchauenged
quarter-1mile king for two years,
and is world record holder of the
440-yard hurdles.
Hardin admittedly is not as
proficient on boards as on a
cinder track, but he may surprise
the fans.
If Cunningham can come back
to the track an hour after the
1000 to win the Columbian mile
his performance will be remark
able. Glenn Dawson and Harry
Williamson, of North Carolina
and Joe Mangan, former inter
collegiate mile champion, will
have to be overcome if Cunning

It was a long, hard pull for

It finally was decided that no

that Peters played shortstop with
Albany for washington.
Wright tripped turning second
base in the fourth inning, but
got back under his own power
This at least saved another run
being scored on Scrivener.
Pete Susko stepped out bravely
and stole second base in the hec'
tic fourth inning. The New York
boys gathered five runs in that
frame. This established a new
high, or a new low, according to
the viewpoint.
Stone gave a remarkable exhi
bition of playing The sunfield
Not once was he hit on the head
by the ball although at times it
required artfLl lodging to ke"r
his noggin out Of the way.
Stone played rock ribbed de

Neely hit to right and Johnny

dashed to third. Johnny got three
hits.
