Worcester High School football is
something of a puzzle. The prize goes to
the man who finds the team.
Princeton will have hard game to-
day when the Tigers line up against West
Point The Cadets have been coming like
whirlwinds all season and Princeton VIII
have its hands full.
Friends School will not have Wor-
cester High as opponent at Providence to-
day The local team will have to hustle
to get its lineup for the Academy game
and other contests must be forgotten.
-Pennsy may not yield the point total
expected by Harvard without some sort
of a tussle. The Red and Blue looks very
dainty at present, and only surprises will
enable her to score against the Crimson
today.
The Yale-Princeton freshmen game
scheduled for yesterday was postponed
because the Yale faculty refused to allow
the youngsters to begin game before 4
p. M Another date will probably be ar
ranged.
There has been craftiness displayed in
the assignment of seats for Harvard men
at Philadelphia today. The shouters for
the Crimson will be punched between
groups containing several hundred Penn
sylvania rooters.
AT New Haven, there is a coach for
every position. At Cambridge, the coaches
talk over old times and almost forget to
keep the spirits of the present team up to
a point that will make victory possible
in the game against Yale
Worcester Academy might have left
Its choice of high school coach UNI
known. 1t does seem wicked to select
victim and then make sure there will be
no chance of the other team gaining a
victory, by cutting off the coach.
Worcester Academy is picked to win
the annual game with Worcester High,
hTssr a
faculty of the schools have combined in
an effort to swamp Worcester High and
the chances of doing It seem bright.
Boston College and Holy Cross should
furnish amusement today. The purple
never had better chances of landing
game with the rival college eleven. The
real contest will come Thanksgiving day
when the teams line up in Boston on the
American League grounds.
DIR. George J. Delaney deserves the
sympathy of every one who has been con-
nected' with High School athletics. Those
who have not believed DR.. Delaney to be
the best coach Worcester High ever. had
must admit he has shown himself man
at a time when real men were scarce.
Worcester High School athletics have
been in a muddle for months. G. Albert
Gray. faculty advisor has taken 1t upon
himself to lead the way to prosperity.
Mr.. GRAY might have had good intentions,
but the boys who have worked the hard
est for Worcester High would not cast
a ballot for Mr.. Gray in a voting contest
for the most popular man in High School
athletics.
Provided a pupil Of Worcester High
Schools is among the leaders of his class
in studies. can he not play football as
member of Worcester High School team?
That is a question that the faculty should
decide at once. Can a man who believes
the High School principals have over
stepped their authority be compelled to
play football if he doesn't wish to? That's
another unanswered question.
The Exeter-Andover game today will
be one of the preparatory school games
Of the year. Exeter seems almost sure to
win but lastsyear Andover was a big
favorite and had wood for the bonfire
collected yet Exeter won. Shirley Ellis,
former Harvard fullback. has been coach
ing Andover and Perry Hale of Yale and
Maurice Common. Holy Cross coach, have
been looking after Exeter's football
knowledge.
George V. Touhey, manager Of Tom
Jenkins champion cateh-as-catch-can
wrestler has written to the Boston Post,
declaring the statements Of one Rob
Roy concerning Hialmar Lundin and
Tom Jenkins are untrue. The Post says
Mr. Tuohey's former connection with that
paper in responsible position adds
weight to his statement regarding Jen-
kins' squareness. Meanwhile Rob Roy"
himself seems to be snoozing.
