"SPORTS. THE EVENING . STAR,. WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, MAY 19," 1931. SPORTS.: Kelly Not Confident That Eastern Will Win High School Championship Meet SEES FEW POINTS S DECIDING ISSUE Declares Victories in Three Open Games Do Not Give True Indication. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. 'LL be mighty lucky to win.” That's how Mike Kelley, Eastern High School track coach, feels about the annual public high school cham- pionship meet Friday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock, in Central High School Stadium. Mike contends that Eastern's suc- cessive victories in the University of Maryland, Catholic University and “C” Club games cannot be taken as a cer- tain indication by any means that the Light Blue will triumph in the public high affair, which it has done the last two seasons. Kelley has it all figured out that if Eastern manages to win, it will be by only a few points. Giving Eastern all the places which he figures it reason- ably can be counted upon to get, Kelley can see a maximum of only 44 points for the Lincoln Parkers against 39 for Central and 35 for Tech. “It all depends upon Fred Hutchin- son and Dave Sprinkel,” said Mike to- day, “They simply have to come through in the pole vault, shotput, discus, high s Ju;nkp and broad jump. Otherwise we're £y How fle Figures It. Here's how Kelley dopes the meet: It looks like all Central and Tech in the 100-yard dash. Price, Naylor and Smith of Central and Smeltzer of Tech ere the boys figured to fight it out in this event. Bianco and Palmer, both “long shots,” will be Eastern's hopefuls. Cen- | tral is given eight points and Tech the other one. In the 220-yard dash also it is not thought that Bianco and Palmer can score over Ditzler and Schorr of Cen- tral and Smeltzer of Tech. Central should register six points and Tech three in this event, as Kelley sees it. Moorhead, Aschetter and Wolhfarth are figured to have the advantage in the 440, with Rickard and Mostow of { Bastern having a chance to place. Tech 1s given six points and Eastern three. Mike is counting upon Shorb for some points in the 880, but believes Reichman and Aschetter will account for 6 points in this event, figuring that Shorb can do no better than finish second, for three points. i Reichman and St. John of Central are expected to get the bulk of the points in the mile with Lynch having 8 chance to beat out Aschetter for place. In the high hurdles Everett and Blye are figured sure to land the first 2 places, with Boucher of Central get- ting third, giving Eastern 8 points and Central 1. Everett and Slye also are regarded 8s sure to get 8 points in the low given the remaining point. Hutchinson and Sprinkel of Eastern | o, *will, Mike hopes, beat out Vass of Tech in the pole vault. He gives Eastern 8 points in this event and Tech 1. Discus Real Battle. Gibbons, Kocesis and Coleman of Cen- tral loom strong in the discus, but Kelly believes Hutchinson might crowd one of them out for third place to shotput not thought that Hutchinson can get better than third be in this event. Eight more .mfi:fl{m Central and 1 more for Hutchinson and Drake are figu possible third-pl; i Kocsis of Central and Meikeljohn of Tech for the heavy ::g“ll!. with the re-\u:dfi;z Central ve, Tech three an tern one point in this test. As high jump Kelley feels is capabie of winning, with 1 Be;m of Western perhaps placing sec- ond. mainder of the field. Everett, Slye and Hutchinson are Teckoned to finish cne, two, three in the broad. In fact, Eastern simply must get all nine points in this event to win the meet, as Kelley sees it. Tech is conceded the relay. Despite they will take part in the public high meet Priday, Eastern's track and fleld athletes will engage the Navy plebes in a dual meet Saturday after- noon at 2:15 o'clock at Annapolis. The Meet was arranged yesterday. Eastern and Tech faculty base ball teams will stage their third annual game Wednesday afternoon, May 27, Eastern Stadium at 3:30 o'cloci Tech feels that it has a bang-up chance to get back at Eastern for de- feats hand=d it both last who has hurled the Lincoln Parkers to victory both years, has developed “in- fantile paralysis” or something in his « pitching arm. ~ Artie Boyd will twirl for Jackie Ray will catch for Eastern while Z. M. Zearfoss will do the receiv- | ing for Tech. There is some question ac o whether Zearfoss would be gible” to play this year in view of his recent promotion to head of the Manual ‘Training Department at McKinley, but at a conference among Hap Hardell, Tech coach: Principal Charles Hart of Eastern and Assistant Principal John | Paul Collins of Eastern it w-f decided | that he could perform. Principal Hart will be asked to act ; b-uhh ;’-?N;,e -lrlxie Principal Frank in! of Tech wil requested to call balls and strikes. - - Students of Eastern and Tech are showing as much if not more interest in this game than they have shone in # the championship contest. Perhaps this s because they are afforded thet lone chance of the school year to “razz" the faculty members. Following the game members of both teams will enjoy & supper in the East- ern dining hall.

Eight games on Sunday drew close to 200,000 spectators and in three cities many thousands were turned away from bail parks packed to the last square foot. In times of depressicn there is always a yearning to seek some excitement and action, and base ball happens to be within reach of the average purse. The season’s attendance record, game for game, is now well above any figures ever known before, and if one or two clubs don’t gallop away from the field this interest will hold. Pive different attendance records have been cracked 80 far in interclub series. And June is still two weeks away. The Worried French.

Western Was primed for a stern fight in order to get out of the cellar in the standings.
