FOUR TITLES SPLIT BY EASTERN, TECH Gonzaga, Devitt, Emerson and St. John's Leaders in the Prep Field. ASTERN and Tech again swept championship athletic honors in the public high school group here, but the battling for laurels was closer in the prep school whirl during the year now waning. As in 1929, Eastern won the track and base ball crowns and Tech achieved the titles in basket ball and foot ball. Gonzaga, Devitt, St. John's and Emerson were the leaders in the prep school field. Eastern won the public high school base ball championship for the third straight time and the track title for the second season in a row. Tech gained the basket ball crown for the second successive year and clear claim | to the foot ball champtonship for the third straight season. i ‘Tech swept to its basket bail triumph in dramatic style. McKinley was by no means a favorite to retain its title. and when it lost two of its first three series starts its stock sunk sharply lower. Here, however, the Tech quint | made a right-about-face and proceeded to crash to victory in its five remaining serles games to win the series. Central, Eastern and Western, which finished | in a second-place tie were erratic. Business again was dogged by ill for- | tune. The Stenogs defeated Tech in one of the opening games, but were able to win just one more contest. Five of their six defeats came after heart- breaking struggles. Capt. Carl MacCartee, Tech guard, who doubtless was the best all-around performer in- the series, was given a place on The Star’s all-high team, as ‘were Capt. Jimmy Thompson, Western, forward; Everett Russell, Tech, for- ward; Bob Freeman, Western, center, and Joe Robey, Eastern, guard. | Gonzaga Quint Strong. } Gonzaga perhaps had more reason to crow over its work on the hardwood | than any other prep school quint, | though St. John's showed well. Eastern’s victory in the base ball series was not unexpected, but the ease with which they won, however, was someéwhat surprising. Presenting a team strong in all departments, East- ern showed marked superiority from the start of the seres. It won all four of its games, decisively piling up a total of 70 runs, or an average of 17'2 a game. It was an unusually heavy scor- ing series, an average of more than 21 runs a contest being registered. Busi- ness and Tech tied for second place, with two wins and two defeats each. and Central and Western deadlocked for the cellar berth with one win against th;eeflg:{em aplece. el pl was way below standard. Not only heavy hitting, but loose field- and errors of commission as well 88 omission marked the games. Eastern and Business players alone found places on The Star's all-h'gh nine, which included Lanahan, Eastern, pitcher; Snyder, Chase, Business, first basem: der, Business, second basgma Eastern, shortstop; Taylor, tern, third baseman; Duryee, Business, left flelder; Fratantuono, Business, center flelder: Hayden, Eastern, right fielder. | Emerson and Gonzaga showed best | among prep school nines. Emerson had the distinction of twice defeating the championship Eastern nine in as many Bright Track Season. Scholastics had a bright track and fleld season. As usual, the annual pub- He high school championships and the yearly “C” Club meet were high spots, but many schoolboys took part in the University of Maryland South Atlantic interscholastic games, which were re- sumed at College Park after being omit- ted in 1929 because of the rebuilding of the track at the Old Line institution ‘The junior high school meet here this year was more of an exhibition than a competitive affair, and points were not counted.

The proceeds of the game went for unemployment relief and a large crowd turned cut. It became manifest in the opening game of the series, when Tech routed Business, 39 to 0, that the Gray was going to be hard to stop. Some, how- ever, gave Eastern, which handed Cen- tral a surprise 18-0 defeat, a chance to do this. At that, though, Eastern did better in the series than expected, con. sidering that Coach Mike Kelley start- ed the season with just one letter wi ner from the year before, and he a reserve, second with two wins, one loss and one tie. Central, which was handicapped h{ injuries, was unable to get going and placed third with two wins and two de- feats. The Blue had some good mate- rial and its showing was disappointing to its followers. Western and Business, with inexperienced squads, were fourth | and last, respectively. Seven Tech and two Eastern players | and one each from Central and West- ern were picked for The Star’s all-high eleven, which follows. E.

Naturally, of course, some | anglers wanted to catch larger fish and returned the legal size smaller ones to the water with the same result in many cases—death. So many reports reached the Conservation Department of the State of Maryland that Swepson Earle shortly after the opening of the trout season issued a statement saying that in the future only legal size trout would be liberated in the streams. HE large and small mouth bass an- glers in the Potomac enjoyed a good season despite the low wates weighing 5 pounds and 9 ounce: many other bass running from 2': to 42 pounds were caught. In the lower Potomac good catches of bass were the rule rather than the exception. They were landed on both sides of the river. The lower Potomac offered the an- gler the best fishing in some At the start of the scason hardheads furnished good sport. and later on trout, tailors and rockfish furnished plenty of thrills. There were more tailors on the Potomac this year, the river at times being fairly alive with them, and some weighed 5 and 6 pounds. During the present month rockfish have been landed with great regularity by an- glers braving the cold winds. In Chesapeake Bay fishing conditions were good, bad and indifferent. On our side of the bay around Chesapcake Beach. Herring Bay and other points nearby, fishing was a disappointment to many anglers. Across on the Ea:tern Shore the anglers found good sport, landing large catches of hardheads, trout and tallors and some rockfish. Fishing conditions down at Solomons Island were, on the whole, very good.

Foot ball, of course, is pre-eminent among college sports and in this the local schools have done well, but they also can take pride in accomplishments in other fields of athletic engeavor. Georgetown and Maryland had the s rongest of local foot ball teams.

Maryland played probably the mest difficult schedule, comparatively speak- | ing, in the country, yet it played gmfl foot ball in every game. It, 3 Georgetown, was good even in the games it lost, and at timés played ex- | ceedingly well. Maryland lost to Navy, 6 to 0, in its biggest game, but cverwhelmed Washington a; , 61 to 6, in a brilliant offensive effort in its _homecoming. | George Washington at times seemed |to b2 an exceplionally good foot ball | team, but on other occasions fell con- siderably below that standard.

Three New Coaches. The year was marked by the fact that three of the local schools were | under new coaching systems. ‘Tem Mills came to Georgetown and “Duteh” Bergmann to Catho'ic U., and both in- troduced the Notre Dame style of play. Jim Pixlee took cha: of the varsity squad at George Washingion and thé :ulu of his coaching were very evi- nt, Probably next to foot ball, the great- est interest was shown in basket bail. In this Catholic University had the worst season in its history. It lest nearly all its games and showed little |of the excellence that for years pre- | vious had characterized its play. | Georgetown had & good team, but Maryland turned out one of the best it | ever had, winning 16 games out of 21. Victory over Navy was its aceom- plishment. Both Georgetown and Maryland and Catholic University met the best competition in eollege eircles. The other schools had better than their |average teams. | Georgetown had a base ball team | that stood out among everywhere. The Blue and by far the strongest of local |and won 22 out of the 27 games played. Maryland had a good team, but | did not measure up to the Blue and Gray. Catbolic University was below | standard considerably. | _ Track athletics slumped considerably. | Georgetown, which for years has ear- | ried its banner high in this sport, fell | way down in the scal*. Maryland also | was below its average and what the other schools accomplished in this sport was little. However, in track it is worth whilé | mentioning that the annual 8 | fleld meet held by that University o | Maryland for high and_ prep schools | was the biggest since the event was 1 instituted back in 1910.

T local colleges developed some outstanding players. At Georgetown, | Brennan, who has been clected eaptain | of next year's team, played well at end, | and Scalzi and Bozek starred in the | backfield. Maryland had two or three | very good men, but probably the most | noteworthy was Berger, who with ne | previous experience in one year de- veloped into an exceptional back. Ringle at Gallaudet was brilliant and could have made any tes Wells at Georgeé Washington was a star and so was Whelan at Catholic University. Chalmers at Maryland was & very steady player. These men not only stood out in foot ball but in other sports as well.
