But w. P. |. and W. III. S.
Elevens viii Play Out Of
Town.

Two of the foot ball teams, represent
| ing local institutions, those at Wor-
cester Polytechnic and Worcester high,
will strive for honors on the gridiron
this afternoon The other two local
elevens, representing Holy Cross and
| Worcester academy, have no games
/ in sight, owing to cancellations. Bos-
ton University cancelled its game with
Holy Cross, while the academy team,
unable to go to New Haven through
| faculty restrictions, had to abandon its
trip.
The Tech foot ball team was put
through only light practice last night,
in preparation for the game today at
Trinity The signal practice was very
fair, and as a general thing the team
was in good shape. The ends will be
the weak point, owing to the absence
of Birge and Wood, but the two sub
stitutes, Freeman and Maynard, have
been making considerable progress
during the last three days of practice,
and may play creditable game. Wood
was able to be out yesterday, but has
not yet returned to the institute. 1t
| is thought that he will be able to play
in the Holy Cross game. Birge left
yesterday for Mantle, CT, where he
will be mustered out of the United
States service, he having enlisted in the
Yale battery at the conclusion of the
school year last June. He will be de-
tanned in camp about week. but he
will also be back in time to line UP
against Holy Cross
The lineup of the team at Trinity
tomorrow will be as follows, as an
nounced by Capt Walsh last night
Perkins c., Buchanan +. g., Trail !. e.,
Pare | nIor Il
Freeman |. e., Willis q. b., Walsh (cap-

II Holyoke high school has any sort
OF an eleven the boys from Worcester
high will find themselves badly beaten
when the referees whistle announces
that the game has terminated. The fell
lows on the eleven have shown great
Indifference to practice work since their
game of week ago. and have lined up
but twice during the week. The prob
able lineup Of the high school boys
will be Hennessey l. e., Stone |. t., John
son !. g., McGourty c., Sullivan r. g.,
Daily r. t., Rebboli r e., Burke q. b.
Moran l. h. b., Shea +. h. b., Hagburg
f. b. The team will leave for Holyoke
on the 1890 o'clock train.
AS was stated in Thursday mornings
Spy, Manager Thompson of Holy Cross
this city with the second team at Har-
ward. The varsity coaches, however,
decided to take rs men with them for
the game at West Point this afternoon,
which left practically no material for
another eleven. The Holy Cross boys
will devote the afternoon to practice
work.
The Worcester Athletic Club team
has been brought to life once again, and
this morning Manager Common will take
the men to Gardner to play the Gard
ner Athletic Club eleven. Inasmuch as
the w A. C. team has practiced but
two times, and as Gardner was able to
hold Holy Cross down to a single touch
down last Saturday, it is difficult to see
where the Worcester team has the
slightest chance of winning. No one
knew last evening the probable make
up of the team" but for a guess the
following men win lineup and throw
themselves upon the mereies of their
opponents Davis l. e., Wyman l. t.,
Thomas l. g., Brown c., F. Thomas r,
g., ]. Thomas r. t. Beckton +. e., Howe
q. b.. Richards !. h. b., B. Wyman +. h.
b., Kerns f, b. The team will leave
at quarter of IL o'clock.
A picked team composed of players
from anywhere and everywhere, but
styling themselves the Worcester high
second eleven, by what authority no
one knows, will play the Valley Falls in
Cherry Valley this afternoon, if all Of
the men who have agreed to play show
up at the appoint time and place.
