BIG TIME SATURDAY FOR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS Many Entries Received Too Late; Reading Inquires About the Annual Trophy High schools throughout Pennsyl vania are awakening to the fact that an important track meet is scheduled for Harrisburg on Saturday. There is a big rush on the part of many schools to get in. It is too late, however, and there is no argument which gives them the right to be considered at this late day. Dr. Charles B. Fuger, Jr., chairman of the Harrisburg Athletic Committee, sent letters to York, ILancaster and other cities last night with copies of entry blanks attached showing that plenty of time was given all schools to enter. The schools added to the list yesterday sent their entries early inough, but they went astray in the mails. With favorable weather a record at tendance is looked for. 1 nquiries have been received from colleges and schools within a radius of sixty miles of Harrisburg regarding seating ca pacity and stating that large dele gations were coming to Harrisburg. To Look Over Promising Material "Shorty" Miller, the Harrisburg star, is coming from State College and will bring along a large number of stu dents. The Penn State alumni mem bers in Harrisburg are boosting hard lor the meet and will have a large representation. Carlisle will send a big crowd, and as the upper end of Dauphin county will be represented by athletes from Millersburg, Lykens and Elizabethville. students from tliosi. towns have sent word that there will be a large representation of rooters at the meet. Heading' Ask* ICxplanation The Heading high school authorities have written a letter to the Harris burg Track Athletic Committee re questing an explanation of the ruling uri the awarding of the high school shield this year. The Heading Times says: Heading Puzzled "Reading High's track supporters are puzzled over the action of the Harrisburg Track Athletic Committee and their present attitude toward the linal disposition of the handsome oak and bronze shield, the trophy for the annual Harrisburg meet, to be held this year on Saturday next. "A tie already exists and has since 1911. Central Manual, Philadelphia, and Heading High each have two legs i>n the shield. Central Manual's suc cessor scholastically is the West Phila delphia High School. While few con testants from that school attended the meet in 1012, the year after the dis banding of the Manual school, no one wore their colors in 191.1. Nor will they this year, for the Middle States meet is held on Saturday on Franklin Field and West Philadelphia is in the running for high honors. Tecli the Winner? "It is up to Reading to break tht. lie this year if it is to be broken, but that does not seem likely in view of ihe strength of the Harrisburg Tech, which is looked upon as the logical winner of the meet. "The decision to select the winner by the high total of the number of points scored is not in accordance with the understanding among the locals as to the final award of the trophy. The conditions announced in 1908, the first year in which the shield was the tro phy, was that the shield should be come the permanent property of the team winning the annual meet the greatest number of times, not the team having the largest score."
