Tn. Manual Training High School football

The Manual Training High School football
eleven demonstrated in it's game yesterday
afternoon at Washington park against the
Central College of Physicians and Surgeons
that It will nave TO show wonderful i'm
provement during the next two weeks TO
have even a look in" in the annual cham
pionship game with Shortridge to be played
on Thanksgiving afternoon Training
School went down to defeat at the hands
OF the Medics by a score of IL TO 0-the
same score that Shortridge piled up against
the Medics a short time since. A third
touchdown was made by Cooper, for the
NEEDLES, toward the close OF the second
half. but IL was not allowed because Um-
pire Hall claimed that Arnold, the Medics'
right end held a Training School player in
the scrimmage In which Cooper broke
through for a touchdown.
The work OF the Training School eleven
was a disappointment to the members of
the team and the supporters of the school.
While IL may be true that the medical men
played a stronger game against Training
School than they did against Shortridge,
and the line men were stronger on both Of
tense and defense 1t does not excuse the
red and white players for their lack Of sys-
tematfc team work. Training School is In
q weakened condition because of the abb
sence Of a few of the regular men from the
line. The red and white boys have been
unfortunate In sustaining severe injuries
IN their games and also in practice and
Efforts to develop team work have been
greatly handicapped. Bonham, Dow and

greatly strengthened, there must be a de-
c1ded Improvement in forming interference
as well as breaking up the interference OF
the opposing eleven, and there must be
more concerted efforts on the part of the
entire eleve IL the old red and white that
terscnOlastic athletics is to make even a
respectable showing against Shortridge In
the big game The team should not quit
and become discouraged because a few men
nave been hurt, for the chances are that all
OF the best men will be in condition to play
on Thanksgiving. but Coach Orme should
instl new life into the men and induce
Iney come very far from being aggressive.
LACK OF TEAM WORK.
In the game against the NEEDLES the Train
Ing school displayed a woeful lack of team
work. while the line was battered into
small fragments by the doctors. Only n
Few times did the Training School succeed
In holding the NEEDLES. showing weakness in
breaking up the interference OF the oppos-
Ing team. On offensive plays Training
scnooi failed TO form interference and the
work was slow, thus giving the Medics a
chance to make substantial gains through
the line around the end or on trick plays.
Both teams fumbled many times.
rev on the Training School men played
q iar game, West, Saunderson, Duggan
and Hill showing the best work. The Med
ics. as team, surpassed the high school
,ads and individually Cooper. Hawley and
WOOD played the best game.

and white players come near scoring and
