The high school foot ball team put in
little work yesterday owing to the num-
her of absentees from practice on &C
count of injuries received in the games
at Springfield and Holyoke, Friday and
Saturday. Rebboli, Burke Donneily and
McGourty have recovered from the effects
of their hard usage and will be out with
the squad today. Shea has fractured his
collar bone and will not be available to
the team for the remainder of the sea-
son.
Manager Irving c. Orr, of the Worces-
ter Academy team, and Manager RebDoll
held conference yesterday afternoon re-
tams. The academy team has open dates
on Oct. % and Nov. and in view of the
crippled condition of the high school team
Manager Rebboli favored arranging the
game for Nov. 4. Manager Orr would not
consent to this date, as he feared 1t
would leave him without a game for a
week from Saturday, The high school
manager was reluctant to arrange a game
for so early a date. especially so because
the oval is secured for that date for a
game with Worcester Tech and Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology, and
the game between the two rivals would
have to be played at the Academy oval.
The financial end of the game Is a
great consideration to the high school
team IN the arrangement of the game,
and rather than play 1t a week from Sat
game be played Oct. q, a week from Fri
day which is a holiday in the public
SCHOOLS ON account of the convention oil
Worcester county teachers. Manager Orr
could not consent to play on that date
withut consulting with Principal D. w
Abcrcronibie He will do so today and
Motif Manager Rehboli this morning OF
| the decision. The crowd that will be
attracted by game between the high
school and academy teams will be
greater at the oval than at the academy
campus and Manager Rebboli believes the
return TO the nigh school team will be
! greater TO play at the oval on Friday
| than at the academy on Saturday
| game between the teams is definitely
arranged and whether it will be a weei
! from Friday or Saturday will be settled
this morning The high school team will
! have to do an immense amount of worl
| TO prepare itself for the contest More
than nall the men who have played il
! the games IF the season are in poo
| physical conditions, and it will REQUIRE

as the team has been short of substitute!

| conditions, the high school players con
slderGd It fair to ask the academy mel
to hold the game off for a week to enabI

their best to make a good showins
