the eastern championship series by
16-4 scores.
The meeting should be an interest
ing one. Dean pitched the Mt. Airy
club to the championship last year,
and he has been going better than
ever this year. Ayers, second base
man; Kirkman. first baseman; Bad
gett, third baseman, and Jordan, right

strongest teams it has had in several
years.
Roanoke Rapids was a semi-finalist
m the East last year, losing to Row
land. the team Mt. Airy beat in the
finals. The Eastern champions have
a veteran team, with a star catcher
named Fleetwood Sullivan, and three
outstanding pitchers, Ollie Acree.
James McNeil and Elmer Starke.
Acree is probably the ace of the three
and will probably get the starting
all.

Saturday
Chapel Hill, May 12. The Carolina
track team will have its last and pro
bably its hardest dual meet here Sat

Penn State is one of two teams to

tunny stars.
The Pennsylvanians are always
powerful in the distances and this
year they will present Glassburn,
cross country captain, King, captain
elect, and Dunaway, forming one of
their best trios.
Dunaway is a newcomer, but he
ran the half in near record time at
the Penn Relays. He anchored two
relay teams, and he ran away from
Hardman, Navy flier, to lend Penn
to a victory in the sprint medley re
lay.
Aldrich is said to be a sophomore
flash in the 100, and Dale and Van
Keuron are veterans in the 220.
Grittsage rates with the best men in
the East at 440 yards, and the Penn
