Jake Edwards, running anchor, was largely responsible for Tech’s mile relay team finishing sec- ond in the Class B national inter- scholastic championship race Saturday in the Penn Carnival at Philadelphia. Thirteen teams competed in the race, which was won by George Washington High of New York City. After an indifferent start by Nebel, who is by no means in good shape, Geiger, who is comparatively inexperi- enced, managed to hold his own. Reich- man, the third McKinley runner, im- proved his team’s position somewhat. Then Edwards, running one of the best races of his sensational career, cut loose to pass runner after runner to en- able his team to finish second. Tech's next appearance will be Satur- day in a triangular affair with the Navy Plebes and University of Maryland Freshmen at Annapolis. By CORINNE FRAZIER. Sport Montgomery of Fairmont School by a close margin. h All of these were notable, but the real high spot of the event was known to only a few. It concerned the game- ness of one of the favorites for title honors, who fenced under a most pain- ful handicap, testing both her nerve and her courage. Dudley Breckinridge of Holton Arms School, whose perform- ance on previous occasions has won comment from expert foilsmen, bowed gamely to some four or five opponents whom she could have bested under other crcumstances, fencing her entire 10 bouts without a suggestion of giving up, although both her hands and her arms were covered with the angry blis- ters of poison ivy. Credit for the success of the tourna- ment goes to Maj. Walter E. Blount, who sponsored the event, and his group of distinguished judges, including the following Army and Navy Olympic fencers: Col. Hjalmar Erickson, U.S.A.; Maj. Robert Sears, U. 8. A Lieut. George Calnan, U. S. N.; Lieut. Comdr. Doughty, U. 8. Maj. John Hineman and Maj. Honeycutt, bcth of the Army. TO STAGE AMATEUR BOUTS.

Heads School EADLINING the big scholastic athletic card hereabout this week is the Eastern-Tech base ball game Friday afternoon in the Eastern Stadium, which doubtless will go far toward settling the public high schoool championship. and six tennis matches. There will be something doing every day, with tomorrow and Friday as the busiest. Five diamond tilts and two | tennis matches are listed tomorrow and | a trio of base bell games and as many tennis matches are carded Friday. Eastern, which won the base ball title in 1928, and so far has captured both its starts in the current series, is ex- pected to find Tech the chief stumbling block in its path to another pennant. Tech has shown impressively so far. It has a good hitting and fielding club and a strong mound corps, and by many is favored to trim Eastern. The Lincoln Parkers, however, also have a strong fielding and sturdy defensive team, but, in the opinion of not a few, have not the pitching strength of the McKinley team.

Dec. 3320 Tech-Eastern Contest Friday Card for Week lost both its games so far, while West- ern fell before Eastern, but defeated Business. Other contests of more than average interest slated during the week are the base ball games between Eastern and Gonzaga, old rivals, today in the East- ern Stadium, and between Eastern and Staunton Military Academy Saturday afternoon at Clark Griffith Stadium. Incidentally Eastern’s nine will be the busiest of the schoolboy combina- tions, having an engagement for every day of the week. Central and Western, lively rivals, will meet tomorrow afternoon in their public high school championship series game in Eastern Stadium starting at 3:15 o'clock. Both teams are planning a stern fight for victory. Thoroughly dissatis- fied with the work of his charges, who have lost both their series starts to date, Coach Kimble of Central plans to present a much different line-up than he has been using. On the other hand, Dan Ahern, Western tutor, prob- ably will start the same comhsnation he ha.!r employed in both the series games so_far. Parks, Shloss or Jorg are all possible | starters on the mound for Central. Capt. George Fletcher is expected to gain be on the mound for Western. Three other diamond games and two fennis matches also are listed for scholastics hereabout tomorrow. Eastern and Devitt are to meet on the Monument Lot, St. John’s and Catholic University Freshmen at Brook- land and Gonzaga at Hyattsville High in the base ball games. Central and Western and St. John's and St. Alban’s are booked to meet in tennis matches. The former will be a public high championship encounter and the latter a Prep School League «ngagement. More than usual interest attaches to the Central-Western match as it probably will decide the championship. It will be staged on the Sixteenth Street Reservoir courts, starting at 3:15 o'clock. y There is nothing new in the situa- tion that finds Central and Western fighting it out for the net crown. Teams of these schools have heen the chief contenders for the title the past several seasons Last Spring Central triumphed over the Georgetowners, 4 to 3, in a keen struggle. So far Central has easily brushed aside Eastern and Tech in series en- gagements, defeating both by 7 to 0.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 29.— Navy has a large and varied program of sports for the first week in May, though few of the events are of par-| ticular interest. The exception is the trip of the la- crosse team to Syracuse Saturday. It will be the first time this season for the Navy stickmen to met a team of reputed strength, and, consequently, the first real test. ‘The naval team has been piling "I big scores against weak teams, but it is| by no means certain as to what it will do agalnst the stronger ones.
