TO COACH DENVER TEAM.

Frank ]. Cavanaugh will leave Wor-
cester this morning for Denver where
he will enter upon his duties as coach
of the Denver Athletic club foot ball
team.
Cavanaugh made his debut as a foot
ball coach at Cincinnati last year where
he developed the University Of Cincin-
natl team from raw material into one
of the best teams in the west.
The team had a clean score of victor
| les against all the university and col
| lege teams of the west and made an en-
viable showing against the strong Chi
cago Athletic club team. Later it de-
feated the Dartmouth team, Cavan-
augh's old comrades, when they made
a tour of the west.
| Cayanaugh gained his foot ball ex-
| perience at the Worcester high school
and later at Dartmouth, where he was
one of the best end rushes on the college
gridiron. After the graduation of Eek
strom, Cavanaugh was elected to the
| Dartmouth foot ball captaincy, but left
college to engage with the University of
Cincinnati team before the beginning of
last years season.
At Denver, apart from coaching the
team, Cavanaugh will play one of the
ends He will be with the team about
three months and will then return to
continue his law studies at Boston Uni
versity
Cavanaugh later, will likely be Joined
by another foot ball player of this city.
Overtures have been made to Frank H.
Morgan to join the d. A. c. team, and
he will probably accept. Morgan is a
half back and has few superiors behind
the line, either in line bucking or fast
rushes around the end He, too, began
his foot ball career at the Worcester
high school. later going to Worcester
Academy where he was one of the best
backs in preparatory schools. He next
went to University of Pennsylvania,
where he took up the study of dentistry,
and captained and played half back on
the second team Of the university. He
easily outclassed the pair of backs that
supported Minds, but owing to college
rule. forbidding freshman students
from participating in college athletics
he was debarred from joining the team.
Last year he was member of the
Pittsburg Athletic club team, semi
professional organization, made up
largely of former star college men. Nor
gan was this star of the foot ball league
in Pennsylvania and few adjoining
states and the team is anxious to Sc
cure his services for this year., but he
has practically made up his mind to
play with Cavanaugh in the far west
Charles ]. Boyle, who has been pass
| ing the summer with his family in Wor-
cester, will return to Dartmouth col
| lege Wednesday and enter upon the
| seasons football work. Boyle is as
sured of his old position at end on the
Dartmouth team, and will be one of the
mainstays of Capt. Wentworth's elev-
! en- This is his senior year at Dart
mouth, and he has been member OF
Dartmouth's champion teams since his
entrance to college. He learned the
primaries of football at Worcester high
school, where, at quarterback, he was
one of the best players of the old high
school champion teams. Later he
played the halfback's position, and his
versatility at the game stood him in
good stead upon his entrance in college,
as he easily fitted into end. quarter
back or halfback. He played the first
two positions In his freshman and
sophomore years, but last year played
exclusively at end.
| The Dartmouth team has an am
bilious schedule mapped out for it, and
Boyle will have opportunities to test
his ability with the end rushes of all
the strong college and athletic club end
rushes of the country.
