 Manager Frank Hayes is very pop ular with the student body. Hereto fore he has not taken a prominent in- l terest in. athletics, but his manage
 ment of the football team has been such success that he will in all prob
 ability be chosen manager of the base l ball team.
 l Captain Henry Cook met with an
 unfortunate accident in the Merrimac game. He had his collarbone broken
 and owing to this injury has been un-
 able to play since. His loss was big
 handicap to the team. He was a mem I Der of last years team and is fine,
 school next year he will no doubt be again chosen captain.
 l Lewis Walker, left halfback, was
 the bright particular star of the team.
 He is a remarkable ground gainer In skirting the ends and running through a broken field he has no superior
 among High school players. He is
 one of the most popular students at l the High school. When Cook was in- l jured, Walker was appointed acting captain and he has shown by his ef- l ficient work that no better man could
 have been selected.
 Maurice Culhane at quarterback was i superb. He ran the team well. He l is a heady player, alert and quick, and
 was clever in passing the, ball. He
 has often been praised for the admir- able manner in which he managed the plays.
 O. Bauby and W. Mahaney were 1 towers of strength at tackle. Both men were fine both on the aggressive i and defence. They were good ground
 gathers.
 Carl Schick has by far outplayed his opponents at center In every game this year. He has opened up holes about a mile wide through which the backs ! made large gains. Thompson and Wheeler at guard, with Schick at center. made a trio which it was hard to beat. Butterly was an able substitute at guard, as was Gardner at tackle.
 Cleland and Daly had hard run for the position of end. Both are fast players, but Daily is q better ground gainer and more aggressive player. W. Flanagan made star end He is very fast and is quick in getting down the field on punts. He is q good tack Ter. c. Bauby proved himself find His playing in the final game was of a brilliant, nature. His plunges through the line were great. ss
 Johnson played fullback on the team. This was his first year on the team. From the very beginning he made good. He is 2 good tackler, sure ground gainer and hard Tine bucker. He is young, but he knows how to play the game,
 O'Connor, McGrath., EgaIl and Kilroe were all able substitutes. Kilroe had his collar bone broken earl, in the sea- son which kept him out of the game for some time. In both league games the fine team work was particularly noticeable. Splendid interference marked the end plays. The players are deserving of all praise for winning the cup. If is an honor, not only to the players themselves. but to the school and the city. That their vic tory in the final game brought joy in- to the hearts of the residents of this SitJ WoS WEI hllCSleu Dy luc idFSC crowd of 800 or more people who were at the Naugatuck station on Saturday night to meet the boys who arrived. home on the 9 o'clock train. They were enthusiastically cheered as they alighted from the train. At the High school assembly hall q small celebra- tion was held. Speeches were deliv- cred by some of the players and their supporters. A greater celebration may be held later.
 No charge of ringing can be brought against any player on the team. They are all bona fide students. Several will graduate this year. but the majority will not. Schick. Walker, Culhane, Butterly and Flanagan will graduate this year.
