S. H. S. FOOTBALL TEAM
CAPTAIN SCOTT ISSUES A CALL FOR
IMMEDIATE TRAINING.
Some of the Candidates for Positions
Schedule Nearly Completed NJ.
Il. III. s. to Begin Practice.

Robert Scott, captain of the Shortridge
High School football team, has issued
call for all candidates for positions on this
years S. II. S. team to assemble at Capitol
avenue and Sixteenth street tomorrow
afternoon when practice will begin. Cap
tain Scott is also anxious to learn as soon
as possible how much material he will have
this season from which to select team,
but does not expect to get the players to-
gether for two or three weeks, as school
does not open until next week and until
that time he will not know just how many
candidates there will be.
Many of the players of last years team
will not be in school this year. In addi-
ton to Captain Scott there are only four
or five of the men who played last year
eligible to be on the team this year. They
are Frank Doudican, Walter Gipe, Forest
Tolin and Wayland Masters. There is
some doubt of Masters playing this year, as
his physician says his health will not per-
nit him to play. Several Of the players
who acted substitutes last year or played
on the second eleven will be back in school.
and with them and the new material Cap
tain Scott hopes to secure a fast team.
Among the probable candidates are Rich
ard Griffith, Will Conner, Michael Dugan,
Howard Shank, Bert Dunning, Shirley Hen
bricks. Clarence Mckinney, Garvin Brown
and Ryland Pratt. Nearly all OF them are
familiar with the game. Captain Scott
says he will probably play quarterback this
season.
A coach for the s. H. S. team has not
been selected. Captain Scott hopes to
secure Mr.. Sutphen, formerly of Yale, who
coached the team last fall. Robertson, of
last years Purdue team, is also being con-
sdered for the position. Captain Scott
says he does not expect to have heavier
team than last year, but hopes to make
up in speed and agility what the players
will lack in weight. No time will be lost
in developing new material and getting the
old men in good condition, as the candi-
dates will practice every day beginning to-
morrow.
The first game will be played with De
Pauw at Greencastle on Sept "a The
schedule has not been completed, but games
have been secured with Hanover College
for here and at Hanover, Wabash College
at Charlottesville, Marion High School in
Indianapolis, Franklin at Franklin, and
two games with the Louisville high schools,
Jne with the Louisville Male High School at
Louisville and one with the Louisville
.Ianual Training School. to be played here.
The Howe Military School is also after a
game
The Manual Training High School team
will lose many of its champion 1901 team
as S. III. S., but Captain Shideer hopes TO
secure another champion team from the
old players left and the new material that
will be in school this fall. The M. T. III. s.
team will begin regular practice within a
few days.
Since Newby oval has been dismantled
there is only one suitable place for games
and that is Washington Park. The Butler
team is trying to secure the park for the
season. and some of the high school games
may be played there. Efforts are now
being made by the S. III. S. and NJ. T. III.
S. teams to secure the park for the Thanks
giving day game.
