Foot Ball mt GaIlnudet.

The foot ball team of Gallauiet College
at Kendall Green will De unusually strong
this season, and probably the best that has
ever represented the college. Practice for
the team began nearly two weeks ago. and
already the team has gone through all the
preliminary work. the various candidates
have been tried out and the eleven prac-
ucally chosen for the year and settled
down into hard. regular work.
Rapid work has been possible with the
deaf mutes because they are nearly all
veteran players of good experience, and
have been coached by three very able
and efficient graduates of an equal number
OF leaders among the foremost universe
ties of the east noted for foot ball. Prof.
Percival Hall. NJ A. Narvard), instructor
in Latin. has had three years experience
coaching his class foot ball team while at
Harvard: Prof Charley r. Ely. NJ. A.
Oale). assistant professor of mathematics
helped coach his class team at Yale for
four years. and Frank r. Wheeler, who
has just entered Gallaudet, has had four
years experience as a player on the Brown
University varsity in the position of left
guard. The instruction of these three
coaches combined has made Gallaudet
very formidable opponent for all the teams
in this section of the east.
