WIIDWOOD I The High School Athletic Cotwnit- | tee of Cape May County has elected as chairman, E. E. Witmer, of Cape - May Court House, and secretary, Principal L. A. Bodes, of Cape May. "The other members of the committee are Principals Boss W. Rohn, of Tuck-. I 'shoe; D. Skolnik, of Woodbine; Lan- 1 ning Mcyera/of Wild wood; and E- E. Unger, of Ocean Otty. t It was decided to hold the track and t field meet this year on May 14th, at Cape May Court House. Middle s Township has been the leader in track ( athletics for eight years in Cape May. county and should win again by a t good margin, but Ocean City, Cape 1 May or Wild wood is apt to prove a| big surprise. l The Committee is also arranging c the base ball schedule, and in this sport Middle Township will be a big 1 factor, for after a series of four sea- i sons this school got to goihg last B year and won the pennant decisively, c B defeating Filer, the much touted Cape W May star, twice.. c The County Athletic Committee also wetn on record as favoring boxing in the high schools. Still, Cape I May, is a conservative county, the schools are comparatively small — all j being of the class "C" size — and the ( pupils know one another intimately. Hence it is doubtful if the action of ( the committee will meet with much j approval on Hie part of some of the school officials. The Wildwood High School basket ( ball ~ squad are preparing under the , careful coaching of H. S. Gulkk, of Ursinus, to keep up their good work ( of the past four years, during which j time they have been acknowledged as the strongest high school team in.thi6 , section of the state.
