9 High Schools Open
Grid Drills; Western
Starts tuesday

Nine of the 10 District public
high schools have begun football
practice-Western starts Tuesday
and all have one object in
mind: The interhigh champion
ship.
1t is much too early to predict
who will grab off the honor
garnered last year by Central, but
If past performances are taken as
basis Central has the best
chance and Tech second best.
The Vikings have taken the
title Is times in the 56-year his
tory of the competition. Tech
has 18 titles on the record books
while Eastern. which took the
first championship in 1892, has
five; Western. four, and Coolidge
two.
Anacostia, Wilson and Roose-
welt have never won the title
Chamberlain and Bell haven't
either, but this is their first sea-
son in the series.
There is another reason Gen.
trail may be expected to repeat
The Vikings have been very re-
luctant to give up the crown in
the past, winning it four straight
times on two occasions-1893-96 sc
and 1868. They've won it three
times in succession on two occa-
sions and twice in row two times.
They failed to repeat only three
times-1906, 1925 and 1888.
A new system will be introduced
this season with the 10 teams di-
vided into two groups. The win
ner of each will play for the title
on November Is.
Anacostia, Eastern. Western,
Wilson and Chamberlain will
comprise one section, while Roos-
evelt, Coolidge. Tech, Central and
Bell will make up the other.

Young Net Stars Threatening
Swuv of Vets Over Nationals

event, is having big year and may
prove stumbling block in the
championship aspirations of John
Bromwich, Australian Davis Cup
player. Larsen, a slightly built
blond who makes it point to
avoid stepping on baselines. is a
left-hander who covers court with
the speed of a sprinter and the
endurance of a long distance run
ner. His well-rounded game has
moderate speed and great fexi-
bility. The 24-year-old University
of San Francisco youth beat Billy
Sidwell of Australia in the cham
pionships last year and Eric
Sturgess and Earl Cochell this year
at Newport.
Young Trabert, year out of
junior ranks, Tuesday propelled
himself into the top ranks of
promising newcomers by his per-
formance against Mulloy. The
University of Cincinnati sopho-
more has everything but expert
ence.
Stewart Is Promising.
Twenty-two-year- -old Stewart,
a 6-foot 2-inch strong lad. in
taking the first set from Jaroslav
Drobny yesterday indicated top
possibilities. Stewart, who will
enter the University of Southern
California this month. has a tre-
mendous serve which he follows
into the net. Here he volleys deci-
sively, a cross-court backhand
shot almost parallel to the net
being his favorite stroke. Stew
arts forefand is strong, but er-
ratio, and his backhand needs
bolstering if he is to meet the
top-fiight stars on even, terms.
Feature match today is the
contest between Parker and Stur-
CESS. Parker, passed over for the
Davis Cup selections and dropped
to No. 5 in the seeded list, needs
to win this contest If he is to be
considered seriously for future in
ternational play. Sturgess, run
nerup here last year, is anxious
to better that performance by
taking the American title.
Play yesterday proved rather
routine, with most of the matches
going as expected in both the
mems and women's events. Rain
in the late afternoon caused play
to be postponed and contests
scheduled for yesterday will be
played today. Among them will
be the match between Harold
Burrows. jr., University of Vir-
ginia, and Robert Abdesselam
French Davis Cup player.
