FIRST GAME SATURDAY.
The team plays it's first game Satur-
day. when the strong Wyoming Sem
mary team will be played at Kingston.
Coach Beamish is not very sanguine
Of success. as there are several new
men on his team. and the Seminary
team is particularly strong this year.
\ man on whom the st. Thomas en-
thusiasts are placing much reliance is
Haggerty, 215-pound, splendidly
proportioned fellow, who is being tried
at guard. He is a line athlete and
while this is practically his first ex-
perience at foot ball, he is proving an
apt scholar. and, it is expected, will
prove an able mate to Martin Lam
gan. who has played guard several
years for st. Thomas. Higgins, O'Mal-
ley and Burke are all candidates for
the center positions.
Not one of the men is particularly
heavy, but with these two big guards
flanking him, it is not necessary that
the middle man be 2C0-pounder
Eeliher. last years right tackle,
VIII again play. and his mate will be
either Clifford or Mcdonald. Manley,
of last years eleven. will play one
end, and either Crowley or Gallagher
will be at the other.
The quarter back position lies be-
tween ]. OHoro, of the 80 team, and
Arigoni. a stockily-built player of last
years second team.
Dick Kirkwood the feetfooted
captain of '99, is i'll at present, but If
he RECEIVERS in time, will take care of
one of the half back places. At pres
cnt Joe Mcdonald, McAndrew and
Emmett Kirkwood, a brother Of Dick,
are in the field as halves. Captain
O'Horo will play full back. Big James
Horan. a crack Dunmore player, is
also mentioned as a prospective can
didate for the team. and if he decides
10 don the moleskins will try for
guard or tackle.
HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN.
The High School eleven is captained
by Eugene Tropp and managed by
Edward Weissenhuh. This years
team will be practically a new one
as the majority of last years star
players graduated Horan, Malta
Shultz, Harrington and Brown will
not be seen on the team this year
and it is very doubtful if DeBow, the
fast half back ana three years cap
tain, will play. Williams, who played
lull back last year will be back ii
the school, but ii is doubtful if ht
will be able to play. However, Vaughn
McIIugh TrOpp, Welssentiuh anC
iynon form a strong nucleus, ant
With last years substitutes and sew
TO pick from, il is safe to say tina
the blue and gold will be well repre-
scented. Ben EynOn. last years cen
ter, will again act as the snappe
back, and the guards will be ChOSel
from Stone, Ballentine Connell an,
Thomas all new men. Arch Deans
captain of '99s scrub, Webb and Pow
ell are in the field as tackles, and fo
ends, Vaughn, McEIugh and Powel
present themselves. 1t is the opin
ion of many that it would be a goo
idea to try the new man. Powell, a
an end, and give McHugh trial a
half back. McHugh played a fin
running game last season. on severa
occasions making beautiful dashe
with the ball. He is one of the fast
est men on his feet in the school, an
should make "a good half,
Harry Vaughan, who played sue
splendid bali last year, will take car
of right end.
TROPPS POSITION.
Captain Tropp will not be seen 2
quarter back. which position he playe
last fall. but will play full back, AN
there are a host of men in the fiel
for quarter Among them are Phi
lips, Buenzli, Burns, McGowal
O'Reilly, Webb and COrbett. OF thes
Phillips, who was substitute on II
80 team and Buenzi and Corbett, tv
members of the scrub, are the mo
likely candidates,
