HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
Selecting the Foot Ball Players for
This Year.
R AIMING HAS BEGU N
The Coming Annual Championship
Contests.
SOME PROMISING PLAYERS

The foot ball players Of the several High
Schools are hard at work. Each school
has a team. Each school hopes to win
the championship and each school favots
a series of inter-High School foot ball
games. There will probably be three
games-Central VS.. Western. Eastern VS..
Business. the winners playing the third
series for the championship. The agreement
made between the schools last year de-
barring the alumni and those not in good
standing in their respective schools from
participating in any of the inter-High
School games does not find favor with the
Eastern end Western boys who claim
they have not the advantages of the Cen
trail school and that the games should be
played under the old conditions, when the
alumni and boys who have attended were
allowed to play
The Central.
The Central school, which has success
fully defended the title to the champion
ship for the last three years, is in fair
way to again beat out its opponents
although the games will be warmly con-
tested. especially those with the East
ern, who will no doubt push the Centrals
hard for honors. The Centrals have a
larger attendance than any of the other
schools, ard, therefore. have more material
from which to pick winning foot ball
team. No one can explain Ii, but the
larger boys of the High School are found
at the Central.
Jolly, who graduated last year. has re-
turned for a special course. He is cap
tain and will play quarter back on this
years team, while mis- presence will give
the boys more confidence and will assure
the Centrals of having a competent quarter.
Guy Oyster, who played full back. and
Fred Albert. who was right half back,
have both returned and with such men
in the line up the Central rooters will
feel sure of victory.

the team wonderfully in defensive and
offensive plays.
The old men who will play this year
are Jolly. captain. quarter: Oyster, fun
back: Albert, right half back; Paskell,
center: kimmell guard. The remaining
positions will be tried for by Ballanger,
Barnard, Began. Shuster, Ball, Wyman.
Caldwell. Watson, Underwood. Ray. Hoge,
and Tabott. The weight will be about lal
pounds. being about fifteen pounds heavier
on the average than any of the other
schools.
The Eastern.
The Eastern boys were in the field soon
er than their opponents, owing to the ef-
forts Of Mr.. Emory Wilson. one of the
faculty, who has directed the Eastern boys
in athletic affairs for the last three years,
and whose coaching in foot ball and base
ball has worked wonderful improvement
in the showing of that school,
Socrates Maupin is captain and right end
Of this years team. He is a brother OF
Bob Maupin of the c. A. c.. and has two
brothers upon the Eastern team-John
Maupin. center. and j. G. Maupin, who
plays the other end. Hoover. who was half
back on last years second team and SUBJ
quarter on the first team. will play quar-
ter, taking the place of Gilbert Kelly.

men. who have had experience with other
teams, and who will no doubt add strength
to the line up. To the Eastern High School
and Gallaudet College belongs the privi-
lege Of inaugurating the District foot ball
games. The game will be played this even
ing, and good idea will be obtained of
the respective teams strength and what
can be expected from them during the COM
ing season.
The Business.
The Business team will be under the
management Of Dana White of this year 8
graduating class. and will be captained by
Eugene Cough, who was right half and
captain last season. The team will be very
light, the average weight being about 140
pounds. The following are trying for posi-
tions in the line up, which will be decided
upon next week: Duffy. quarter: Slater.

be that some of the other clubs will steI
up and play for the championship, but
nothing definite Is known.
Another thing not yet settled is the
Thanksgiving day game, the most i'm
portant event in local foot ball circles, 1t
Is understood that the Columbian Univer,
sity eleven is making arrangements to
have ono Of the northern college teams
come to play on that day. The Gao.
team is also making preparations for a
big Thanksgiving day game. If no game
can be secured with any Of the local clubs
arrangements will be made. If possible, to
nave the eleven from the University of
Virginia come. 1t may be that the Virginia
Military Institute team will be in the city,

is 1t likely that 1t will be until next week or
perhaps the week after. A captain will
be elected some time during the week. and
most likely Pat Wells will be the man, he
having held that position last year.
Games for the fall season are now being
arranged for, and Manager Cabrera expects
to have quite a number Of good games.
Dates have already been agreed upon for
games with the Maryland Athletic Club.
the Hampton Club and the Philadelphia
Foot Ball Association. An effort will be
made to secure games with Harvard,
Princeton and Yale, when these college
teams are on their southern trip.
At Georgetown.
At Georgetown University the interclass
foot ball work will be pushed forward with
energy, and already considerable rivalry
is evidenced for the interclass champion.
ship. There will be four teams at the
school. representing the classes OF '97, '0S,
80 and 1900. None of the teams have a.
yet been picked out, though there are q
large number Of candidates for the honor.

$50 Miles on n Fly Wheel,

A small pet cat at the suburban electric
light works in Elizabeth took long Jour-
ney to death yesterday. There are several
very large fy-wheels in the plant, and at
noon yesterday the cat attempted to jump
through one. The wheel was revolving at
the rate of nearly a mile minute. The
cat struck cross-bar and clung fast, re-
volving with the wheel The oNgineer did
not dare to stop the wheel until this morn
ing. The cat was then dead. During the
eighteen hours the cat had been in the

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES,

Plan to Form an Association to Con-
troll All Sports.
The boys Of the High School are talking
about the feasibility Of plan by which
the several high schools will be united in
an athletic association, which will have
control Of all inte-high school sports. The
plan is to form an athletic club in the dif-
ferent schools. Each school will be allowed

effect of causing many people to change
their opinions regarding the game. and to
view the sport with much pleasure as
they would game of base ball.
Proposed Teams.
Few OF the clubs have formed their teams
for the season. Nearly all the clubs and
colleges have men in training, from among
which the teams will be picked. 1t will
probably be two or three weeks before the
lineup of the teams is announced. The
c. A. c. team has not been picked. nor has
the team that will represent Columbian
University. None of the class teams at
Georgetown University have been selected
while the team of Gallaudet College has
not fully got down TO working order. The
Washington Light Infantry will organize
club, and Howard University has men in
training more than enough to make a good
eleven. 1t is not likely that a foot ball
team will be established at the Catholic
University. The Orient Club, 1t is under
stood, will have an eleven, while the Wash
ington Road Club is also contemplat ting
the formation Of a team for gridiron hon
ors. The High School boys are making
plans to form an interschool league which
will include the Central. Eastern, Western
and Business High Schools. The Canter-
bury Athletic Club, 1t is understood, will
organize team. while the Washington Ath-
letic Club calculates on doing the same.
The Eastern Athletic Club is also likely
to have team out on the field, and there
are number OF other clubs that will un-
doubtedly be represented, to say nothing

District Champienship

The subject OF the championship Of the
District has been talked of considerably
Of late. The Columbia Athletic Club now
holds the honor. The team which will
represent the c. A. c. this year will be
fully as strong as that of previous years.
Since the refusal of the president of
Georgetown University to permit the var
sity eleven to play outside foot ball there
have been no games to decide the cham
ponship. 1t is understood that the Co.
lumbian University eleven when organized
will play the c. A. c. boys for the cham
