TECH COACH SEES
TRIUMPH IN MEET
Prize Pessimist Surprises
by Turning 0ptimist-Has
Star in March.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.


- prize pessimist among local
high school coaches, Elmer
- Hap" Hardell, Techs wiry
track mentor, predicts his Maroon
cinder-pounders will annex the an
nual interhigh meet tomorrow at Cen
tral Stadium.
Despite the loss of a dozen de-
pendables of last season, Hardell has
moulded a well-balanced team that
probably will have little trouble in
fulfilling his crystal ball opinion. East
ern and Central have individuals who
will show well. but lack the power
of the Tech squad. while Roosevelt
and Western are destined to battle
for fourth and fifth places.
From his championship squad OF
last year, Hap has lost such stalwart
performers as Monroe Emmerich, John
Kramer and Bob Hurley, hurdlers;
Byron Hayden, quartermiler; Leroy
Green and Reds Daily, half-milers;
George Began and Paul Lynch, sprint
ers, and Tommy Pickett and Adam
Smith, shot put and javelin aces.
May Take Three Events.
MUCH of Techs present strength
A is embodied in the rugged form
OF Capt Harry March, prominent local
tennis player, who virtually is con-
ceded first places in the broad junl>
high jump and 120-yard high hurdle
events.
Additional strength, however, seems
to warrant Techs favored spot. With
Rawlings in the shotput and discus,
Belote, Wells and Holbrook in the
pole vault, and Thomas. Sapperstein
and Haske in the sprints, Tech is
we'll fortified to defend its laurels.
The 5-4-3-2-1 scoring basis which
was inaugurated last year no doubt
will prove a tremendous aid to Techs
sizeable squad-the largest in local
scholastic circles Hardell- coached
teams have captured eight track titles
since he took over the reins in 1920.
Central Is Improving.
HARDY PEARCE, who has sue
L L ceeded the veteran Bill Foley at
Central, has taken a rather nondis-
cript gathering of youngsters and
formed a team which will vie with
Eastern for the crumbs left by Tech
Built around the towering Will
Thompson. CentralS squad is vast
improvement over the team that gar
nered but AZ points in finishing last
in 1885.
George Minton and Paul ThaXton
in addition to Thompson. will repre-
sent Central in the sprints, with
Emanuel Servator looming as threat
in the gruelling 440-yard dash. Frank
Hodge and George Karvoones are eX-
pected to be contenders for discus
honors, with Nick KanelopouloS
primed for the 1O0-yard dash and 220-
yard low hurdles.
Eastern Likely Runner-Up
EASTERN, which finished second
last year under the guiding hand
Of Artie Boyd, again is favored by
many to grab the runner-up berth.
Alan Miller, quarter-miler and half
miller, is the best bet among high
school distance runners, while the
stocky Abe Cohen figures to show well
in the shotput.
Ralph Buccs, Eastern sprinter, may
press the favorites in the dashes, while
Boyd also expects points from John
Evans and Garrett Valentine in the
javelin throw.
Coach Lynn Woodwork holds little
hope for his Roosevelt team, which
was the victim of a series of injuries
earlier in the season. Truman Lam
caster, half-miler, and Edmund Vas
vary, 22O-yard sprint star, are the
Rough Riders best point-scoring pos
sibilities.
Western, although Coach Dan
Ahearn has developed several poten-
tial scorers, also is expected to fare
poorly.
Following are the records at which
the boys will be aiming: N
