N l.
M the concerted assaults of
WI thousands of schoolboy ath-
4 4 letes for nearly generation
again stand little likelihood of being
eclipsed Saturday in the University
OF Maryland's annual field day, with
two records established by Brooke
Brewer of st. Adams and one by
Lawrence Sullivan of Baltimore Poly,
looming as choice ones at which to
aim,
Back in 1915 Brewer streaked 100
yards in 09.8 seconds, and scholastic
speedsters ever since have tried to
surpass or equal that feat without sue
cess. On the same day Brewer cov-
cred 220 yards in 224 seconds, and a
year later Sullivan leaped % feet to
set records which only occasionally
have been jeopardized.
Three Beaten in 1886.
A Ii other records are of compara-
lively recent origin, with three
marks being shattered last year, two
OF which were in the county high
school division. Steve Reeves, then of
Mercersburg Prep and now of George
town, cracked the 880-yard mark,
while James Kehoe and Jack Archer,
both members of Maryland's fresh
man track team via Bel Air High,
broke $50 and 44O yard records in
county competition.
While the more than 400 athletes
are not lacking in caliber, it is very
likely marks in the open events at
least will stand unblemished after
the days festivities, although several
OF the county records are threatened
and may be rubbed out by superior
performances.
FortySix schools, 80 of them within
the State of Maryland, will send
representatives to the meet, which will
include l3 open events, closed to
county high schools and a mile relay
race for members of the Maryland
Interscholastic Association. The meet
will get under way at II o'clock.
Varsity Program Poppy.
r UN concurrently with the scholastic
competition will be a dual meet
between Maryland and William and
Mary varsity squads, which starts at
l O'Clock, at which time a tennis
match between the Terps and Catholic
University also will begin.
Georgetown will stack up against
Maryland at o'clock in base ball,
while lacrosse game involving
Maryland and Syracuse, one of the
North's best, will climax the card at
4 o'clock.
Following are the record holders in
