Coach Hecox are Barnes, Noyes, Horner,
Hart. Curtis, Janus, jacob, Brewster.
Montgomery, Sturgress, Ellsworth, Thtele,
Shade, Doran. Crook, Rowland, Baden, Lee
ger, Carney, Pimper, DuGanne. Tom Doran,
Thompson, Small Haines, Mccarthy, Hoo
yer, Bell. w. Hart. Out of these twenty
nine men of the squad Coach Hecox will
mold the Technical team of 1905, and 1t
will doubtless be some time before the
coach will make his final selections. The
heavy man generally will be given the
preference over the lighter man, but Hecox
will give the speedy player the considera-
ton that he deserves, even though he does
not come up to the heavier man in weight,
and though at this date things look as
tough Technical will have weight to spare,
yet it is no foregone conclusion that the
coach will send a merely heavy team upon
the local gridiron at the beginning of the
season. OF course, the rule of modern foot
ball. that the line. if possible, should be
heavy, will be observed as far as possible,
but the heavy men of TechnicaPs line will
have to be taught to charge hard and low
or else they may be supplanted by quicker
players, who will not interfere to any eX-
tent with the back field in any plunges
through any particular part of the opposite
line.
Hecox believes the team which he is
coaching should be taught the fundamental
points of the game, and he has devoted
much time to teaching his squad the rudi-
upon the gridiron. The beginner in foot
ball, especially the freshman of the high
schools, always wants to tackle high, when
the coach insists that he tackle low. Coach
HecoX has consequently installed a dummy
at the school with which to teach the can
didateS the art of tackling low and hard.
Fast charging has come in for Its part OF
the work. and in this Hecox hopes to i'm
prove the team in the playing of the game.
They crouch in the position of the sprinter
and charge hard and fast at the snap of

The foot ball team of the Technical High
School is looming up strong, and many of the
knowing ones declare that If a good many
of the signs do not fail when the team from
the Mckinley Manual Training High School
lines up for its first gridron contest. some
fine foot ball playing will be seen. There is
no doubt in the minds of those who have
watched the members of the team at prac-
tice in the school yard that they are as
husky lot of gridiron warriors as are col
lected in any of the high school squads of
the city. Coach Hecox has perfect control
over the boys, and when 1t comes to foot
ball, he knows il from A to T. Weight in
plenty is in the squad, and Hecox is doing
all he can to put speed into the heavy men.
If he succeeds. as many say that he WILL
Technical will have to be reckoned with all
of the lime in the contest with any O; the
high school teams of the city
The line is certainly formidable with the
two big tackles, in Capt. DuGanne and Nc
Carthy, the latter weighing 200 pounds and
being a giant in stature. Mccarthy must
learn to get off in a hurry, and with
man of his weight, with plenty of speed,
plenty of ground can be gained One thing
is certain, and that is that Techs 4" line is
too heavy for much straight bucking
by the light backs of several of the high
schools. and If that style of play is at
tempted 1t looks as though 1t will be like
going up against a brick house. Tech
will be strong in mass plays and Hecox
will doubtless eXpend much work along this
line SO as to develop the teams strong
point.

daily for the team under the instruction of

the ball in the center Of the line. The
rough edges are being worked off, and later
will come the molding of the team. All OF
the candidates will be given thorough try
out and with the material available Tech
meal should have a good team.
For the ends there are twelve candidates,
and when the youngsters are looked over
one has no doubt that when the end posi-
lions are given out Technical will have two
of the best in the high schools of the city.
Those who have announced for these posi-
tons are Barnes, Noyes. Janus, Curtis,
Jacob, Brewster, Montgomery, Shade, Do
ran. Baden, Small and Bell.
For the positions of halfback Hart, Hor-
ner Haines and Hoover are In the field
and a lively contest is expected before the
positions are finally awarded by the coach.
Sturgress will try for tackle or guard,
Ellsworth for quarterback, well as
Thiele, who will work to win the place be-
hind the center rush. Crook at present
looks like winner and seems to have
proven a good player for the position. He
weighs 120 pounds and is a stockily built
player, besides having plenty of foot ball
sense, in this particular, seemingly adapted
to the position, for if any player upon the
team must know the game 1t is certainly
the quarterback.
For the guards Rowland Pmper and
Mccarthy will make good ones, especially
Mccarthy, who Is about the largest player
on any of the high school teams of the
city. DuGaune, the captain, Will of course
play tackle. His ability as a player is well
known. Garvey at halfback looks like good
foot ball timber. w. Hart is making a try
at tackle.
Coach Hecox will work the squad each
day regularly until October 4, when they
meet the Gallaudet Reserves at Kendall
Green. October 10 the game with the Epis-
copal High School will take place at Alex
andria, Va. These will be the only two
games until the team lines up against Bust
ness High School for its first game in the
high school championship.

some of the most promising men off the
squad
Harvard has broken a record by sending
out hard-luck tales before playing her first
scheduled game. Both Head Coach Reid
and DR.. Sargent, the Crimsons physical
director, are now maintaining that the Har-
ward squad is a poor one physically, and
Reid has even gone so far as to declare
that the men now in training at Cam
bridge are inferior to those at Yale and
Pennsylvania. 1t will be hard indeed, to
convince any one of the truth of this, es-
pecially # he had opportunity to see the
famous heavyweights who played for Har-
ward last year. The Crimson still has
these men and they are in better condition
than ever before. In fact, one looking at
the Harvard gridron during the daily
practices would think the Cambridge uni
versity was stocked with a race of giants,
so large are the men. Let nobody be de-
ceved by these tales of hard luck sent
forth at this date. They are merely meant
to throw ambitious rivals off the trail, but
they will hardly succeed, for the modern

The foot ball squad of the Western High
School, under Coach Bocock and Captain
Phelan. is working hard each day and be-
fore the local high school foot ball season
opens the coach hopes to have all the cam
didates for positions upon the team in the
best physical condition. Western, this
year, will not be excessively heavy and
Bocock will work all of the time to make
the candidates as fast upon their feet as
possible. If Western can be made into a
squad Of fast men there is no telling where
they will land in the championship con-
tests. but the team will be far lighter than
Technical and possibly Central Western
has as fine field that a coach could hardly
desire In training a high school squad and
each day Bocock is taking advantage If his
opportunity and making the day count in
his work with the candidates.
SO far the following candidates have ap-
peared for practice: Calvo, Herr Phelan
Scapt), Thomas, Polhemus. Lamson, Muir,
Stevenson, Bland, Hodgson, Waterman
Robinson. Carmody, Baker, Breneman.

Foot Ball in Calcutta

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CALCUTTA, September 3O.-There has
been plenty of good foot ball up and down
and across the country of late, but quite the
best of the day has been that witnessed
at Calcutta In connection with the Indian
Foot Ball Association challenge shield. The
final was between the Calcutta club and
the Dalhousie club, also Calcutta organi-
cation. The former had won the shield the
last two years in succession, whereas Dali
housie's last success was eight years ago.
The meeting at Calcutta therefore created
tremendous excitement, and a great crowd
gathered to witness the play. After splen-
did game, brimful of incident and exciting
moments, Dalhousie defeated their rivals
by four goals to three. The narrow margin
by which the victory was gained viii show
how exciting the play was. The shield and
medals were afterward presented to the
winners amidst much enthusiasm by Mrs.
Carter, the wife of Col. Carter. The York
shire Regiment team, it may be mentioned,
has won the Bombay HARDWOOD League foot
ball cup. The league was commenced two
or three years ago on the suggestion OF
Col. HARDWOOD, R. A. n. c., and the teams
play each other throughout the monsoon
season in Bombay. The Yorkshire Regi-
ment team thoroughly deserved success, as
the result of consistently good play.

rington and Fort There is not a candidate
in practice who is afraid of work. and ha I'd
work at that. Bocock has trained the team
on getting down the field on the kickoff
and the speed that some of the candidates
for the ends and tackles show in getting
down the field is surprising.
While line plunging will be practically
impossible for Western to undertake in
contest with Technical because of the heavy
tackles. yet with fast backs and ends and
tackles Western will be factor that will
have to be reckoned with in the contests
during the season.
Sharpe, last years guard, Is out this year
for the position of half back or end, and
Will make a good man in either place.
Harrington, the regular tackle, has weight
compared with the average of the team
Fort wants to be either a guard or tackle
Howard and Parker are out for the guards
Breneman is another candidate for half
back. Captain Phelan will occupy the posi-
ton of one of the half backs.
For the ends there is a list of candidates
which includes Calvo, the son of the minis
ter from Costa Rica, who is a fine little
player; Polhemus, Robinson, Carmody
Baker and Hodgson.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-10-01

Bland wants to be center. He is a good
man at the position. Stevenson and Muir
are the candidates for quarter back. Muir
is playing a good game and no one will be
surprised to see him win out In the con-
test. He says little. but works hard all the
time. His mind is apparently following the
ball throughout the time of play, and this
alone makes quarter back invaluable 10
a team IL his playing is steady enough. All
predictions must wait until Coach Bocock
has finished his work with the team.
With swift ends and tackles and backs
that do not allow grass to grow under their
shoes, the weight which Technical win have
in the game which will be played October
20 will be- to a great extent, offset. In the
first contest of the high school teams, when
Western lines up against Eastern on Oc-
tober 10, Western can be counted upon 10
try all of the line plays which Bocock has
taught them. Technical is the school that
western Is figuring on, the boys from
the heights believe that the manual train
ing boys are the only ones between them

testa than that with Technical.

maIkable showing against older and ex-
perlenced players while on the freshman
eleven last fall. He is altogether too light
for the position, and is sure to go turtle,
down the line before long.
Starr seems to have the call for quarter
back, although he is being pressed hard
by such flyers as Charley Leonard Norris
Mahoney and Quigley Starr was on the
varsity eleven last fall and Leonard on
the varsity nine. The latter is very fast

great reputation made during his prep days

field goals. Morris handles himself well

Ordinarily 1t Is a precarious matter to
forecast at this stage of the game the
strongest makeup which the coaches of
the different universities can secure. But
the preliminary practice has now been on
for nearly three weeks. and, furthermore,
all but Yale have played their first practice
games. These facts give one an opportunity
to draw good line on the probable selec-
tons. Judging solely from the way in
which they have been lined up in their

One of the features of the present season
which has so far escaped notice is the
weight of the elevens to be turned out by
the big colleges. Last year Harvard, Yale
and Columbia had teams that averaged 100
pounds or over. Princeton was a little bit
behind with a team which averaged about
1856 pounds. Cornell and Pennsylvania had
very light teams. Cornell averaged about
1I3 pounds, and the Quaker eleven, which
went through the season without defeat
weighed only 1I2 pounds. This year both
Yale and Harvard will have teams averag-
ing about the same weight as in 1904. The
Columbia squad is particularly heavy, and
will average fully as heavy as Harvard
and Yale The Princeton team will prob
ably not average much above the $50 mark,
because the Tiger squad is made up of
lighter men this year. Cornell and Penn
sylvanla each promise to have heavy teams
this fall. The Cornell squad is the heaviest
by far that the 1thacans ever had, and
tfeir eleven will certainly average well over
$50 pounds. Carnells line material is par
tiCularly good. and from tackle to tackle
the Ithacans will weigh on the average 210
pounds, perhaps more If the men who now
seem to have caught the fancy of the
coaches at Penn succeed in making the
eleven the Quakers will have a team that
averages 1s4 pounds. This is an advan-
tage of twelve pounds to the man, better
than the 1904 eleven, and ought to have
decided bearing in the championship
games.
