County Test
Will Be Run
At W. Oval

Montgomery County h ig h
school track meet of the
season will take place to-
morrow at 100 pm. at
Walter Johnson when the Class
AA teams meet to qualify for
the State championships.
The State championships will
be staged May &c at Frederick.
Saturdays competition will
find Wheaton, Northwood, Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase, Walter
johnson, Montgomery Blair and
Richard Montgomery attempt
ing to qualify individuals for
the State meet.
The upcoming County test
will mark the second time a
school will be limited to enter
ing only three men in an indi-
vidual event. These rules were
adopted when the Bi-County
meet was suspended.
The current rules also limit a
school to entering only one team
in a relay event and competi-
tors are limited to two track
events and field event or two
field events and one track event.
The 1921 point-scoring sys-
tenn will be used for finishes.
In reality, the individual win
ners from Saturdays meet will
be the Montgomery County
track champions.
When the idea for such d
track was first suggested, some
coaches voiced opposition. How
ever, the viewpoint of a num-
Der of coaches has since chang
ed. The mentors now believe UNI
der the present conditions, more
boys get a chance to participate
and only the top boys from the
County gain the State meet.
A number of interesting duels
promise to take form at Walter
Johnson when the Standouts
challenge each other for the
right to represent the County at
the State event.
Such duel is taking shape
between a sophomore from
Richard Montgomery and an es-
tablished standout from Blair.
The upstart soph from Rocket
land is Brian Wright. AL Caron
is the kingpin from Blair.
Wright chased Caron to the
finish line in the Northwood In
vitational and finished just 3
of a second behind. Caron took
the event in 20.9 with Wright
being clicked in ZIP.
A number of eyes will be TO-
cused on Northwood's Ken
Chatham. The husky infield star
played a leading role in direct
ing Northwood to its first vic
tory in its own invitational.
The weight star won the shot,
discus and finished the day by
racing the third leg of the $50.
His days production was worth
36 points.
Northwood also numbers top
threats in the Bruce Bell 000),
Bob Copeland (440), Jim Barley,
Rick Gibson, Chatham and Bell
In the 440 relay.
During the Northwood Invita-
tional meet, only Caron and
Chatham emerged double VIC
tors. Caron won both the high
and low hurdles.
