Saturday Now Magnet
Of Young Athletes

BY popular request a mile relay
today was added to the metropoli-
tan Washington interscholastic
championships that will be a major
part of The Star Games a week
from Saturday at the University Of
Maryland. Mostly desiring the event
are Eastern, Washington-Lee, Gen.
trail and Roosevelt, all of which have
excellent teams, and the race Is Ger
tain to be high light of the show.
In the meantime, the schoolboys
look eagerly to the University of
Maryland's annual field day next
Saturday, an event that will bring
together f1ocks of them in one of
the largest meets in the East. 1t
will be the final test for most of
the metropolitan Washington public
schoolboys before they strive for the
titles in The Star Games, IA titles
at stake for the first time.
Lots of Action Coming Up.
The Maryland meet will begin
probably the hottest stretch of COM
petition for schoolboys in the local
history of track. Following it on
successive Saturdays will be The
Star Games, the c Club meet and
the District public school cham
pionships.
Entries for The Star meet, which
will include the District A. A. A.
championships, will close next Mon
day with Rod Thomas at The Star
sports department.
With track interest rising steadily,
a goodly gathering of spectators is
expected at College Park Saturday
The cinderpath doings will be topped
off with meet between Maryland
and Washington and Lee, neither
of which has lost a dual meet this
season. Both squads are dotted with
outstanding performers.
The schoolboy meet will open the
program at l o'clock. At 1:30 the
Terps and Generals will get under
way and at the same time Maryland
will meet Catholic University in
tennis.
A ball game between Maryland
and Washington College will start
at 2:30 and the busy day will wind
up with a lacrosse game between the
crack Terp and Baltimore A. C.
teams.
Meet Records Formidable.
The Schoolboys will attack a list
of formidable records Saturday
Two of them have stood for nearly
a quarter century. In 1915 Brooke
Brewer of St. Adams, later a Uni
versity of Maryland all-around ath-
letic star, ran the century in 98 and
the 220 in 224, and these have re-
manned unbeaten. Another hoary
mark is % feet in the broad jump
accomplished by Lawrence Sullivan
of Baltimore Poly in 1916.
