interest in foot ball received a boom
Capt. Norris of the eleven told The Spy
man that a call for candidates will be
issued tomorrow afternoon. The men
Will report at AIS o'clock, and work ev-
cry afternoon until {, getting in shape.
Duffey, the Academy sprinter and
brilliant half back, has definitely decid-
ed not to return to the Worcester school
this fall, as he is preparing to enter
Princeton. Capt Norris, fullback;
Harrison, left tackle; and Russ, right
half back, are the only members of last
years team booked to be the nucleus of
the eleven this fan.
Among the substitutes are several
men who are developing into fast, hard
players. Taylor is strong half back.
aud although not speedy runner is an
adept at line bueking. Wheeler, sub
stitute quarter back, has taken on
weight and may be tried at one Of the
halves. Kelline is another candidate
for regular place on this years
eleven Scheuber viii be out for place
behind the line. In the new corners
to the Academy is a strapping big fell
low named Taylor, built like a
freight car and Weighing something
over 200 pounds. Taylor is active on his
feet and expresses a desire to get into
the game.
Gammons, the old Brown half back
and former coach at the Academy. will
probably be engaged when the season
is advanced to the stage where expert
coaching is necessary. Capt Norris
and Pouch" Donovan will look after
the men for the preliminary work
Manager Orr has not completed his
schedule, but has been assured Of games
with the Harvard and Yale freshman
teams, Brown second eleven, Groton
Academy, Boston English high school

ing arranged with Wilbraham Acad-
envy and Friends School The game
With Groton school win be played at
Groton, but most of the games will be
on the home gridiron, giving local en-
thusiasts a chance to keep an eve on
the Academy team and its opponents.

Treasury Discussed in Oxford.

Treasury Discussed in Oxford.
Oxford, Sept. 12-The principal tonic
of conversation about town TODAY.
aside from the electric road, is about
the action taken at the special town
meeting last night, when it was voted
70 erect a new school house at the
south end, at a cost of $4,000, the money
to be used being now in the hands ~
the town treasurer. 1t is said by some
that this money cannot be legally used
Tor such a purpose, being intended for
current expenses. Architects were ON

the school COMMITTEES about the erec-
ton of the new school house and the
matter will be attended TO as soon as
possible.
The Worcester and Webster Electric
railway company continues to work

matters remain about the same between
the seiectmen and the company The

TOO much, and are evidently determined
TO stick by their decision. MeanwbiIe
the only thing possible for the COMPANY
TO do seems to be to comply with tbs
ueihdnds OF the selectmen as soon as
possible. The majority of Oxford neo-

that is TO represent Holy Cross on the
gridiron this season were called out for
practice yesterday afternoon at 2
O'Clock, by Coach Maurice O'Connor,

the season. Very light work was done,
as the coach merely desired to get a
line on the new candidates. About 20
new faces appeared among the line,
while most of last years varsity team
were in evidence.
John Connors and William Sullivan,
two Of last years favorites, appeared
on the side lines, but did not don their
suits. Both OF these men will report
for practice today when the hard work
viii begin. Coach OConnor expects TO
be able to get together an elevent this
year that viii be hard to conquer, as
there are really no vacancies from last

Nearly Of the team have returned,
and there are many new candidates,
there will be some tall hustling for posi-
tons. Coach OConnor will live at the
college in order to be with the boys
continually. 1t is expected that the
team this year will be the strongest
that ever represented the college.

The County Fair was a grand success
in everything except the crowd. Next
year "she will be whooper," using the
words of one of our most influential

Pruntytown, near Grafton, was here
this week taking in the fair.

the upper end of the county. MANY

this account. Mr.. ~Arnold's remains
were conveyed here by special train
Thursday afternoon, and laid to rest at
