among the pupils of the high schools as
fottball Everyone is interested in the
game. the girls as well as The boys.
Each of the schools will have football
team this year. and it is said that they
will all comprise good players.
At Central. Christopher Cox has been
elected captain of the football team.
Central says she is going to have the
championship team of the high schools
this year. 1t is true they have lot of
good material to work with, but SO have
the other schools, and, unless Central
does lot of practicing. she will have TO
take her chances at defeat.
Among the Central candidates are sew
eral of last years men-Maggoffin, John
son, Kipp, Snow. and Cox. All played
football last year. and are counted as
good men. A. Tindall, one of the best
known young athletes in the city. will
coach Central's team.

The school work at Technical, which
is the popular name for the Manual
Training School. is progressing favor
ably. The boys who have already had ex-
perience in shop practice are engaged
in putting in the machinery used by
them for instruction. This practical
work, IT is thought, will give the boys
more training and better knowledge of
machinery than anything else they
could do.
