of tomorrow afternoons Metro

the pace also will be orderly,
what with Director Hardy Pearce

ding the show.

the afternoon program will be
host to the youngsters-some 800
Of them-and few are known
outside their own classrooms.
Because it is the first track event
of the school year and gradua-
ton invariably wipes away the
previous stars. the Metro must
rely on the other sports to supply
the familiar names. It usually
is football. The case of Wilbert
Smith is the exception.
This is the boy known as Ducie
Smith, All-Metropolitan in bas-
ketball last winter and currently
scoring more than 80 points a
game for Fairmont Heights. He's
entered in the high jump and
broad Jump and if anyone doubts
his potential he should watch
the 6-foot-3 senior get up in the
air during a basketball game.
His coach. Edward Ransom,
attests that Ducie owns the re-
cord for both the high and broad
Jump for Maryland State Class
A schools. 5 feet 103z inches and
% feet 8 inches. Both marks are
far better than the existing Me-
tro meet records.

day. "but Ducie said there would

meet and he wanted them to get
a look at him.
But If / find he's straining or
pressing on the jumps I'll pull
him out" Ransom stated. He
has too much at stake in bas-
ketball."
It develops that Wakefield
High will have the jump on the
other 81 schools competing to-
morrow. Buddy Stein took his
squad to Maryland University
last Saturday to race against
the Terp Frosh. Although the
Warriors were beaten. 49% to
1895. they scored twice as many
points as the year before.
And it isn't unlikely that
Wakefield will score twice as
many points tomorrow as in
the Metro last January, especial
ly since the team points have
been lacked up to 7-4-3-2-1 for
