The Red and Blue quarter was born

He also played this position 1T the
Stiles Preparatory School. at Ithaca,
where he studied for one year.
In 1904 he entered the university and
presented himself as a candidate for the
varsity eleven. but was at first ignored
on account OF his lack of weight. His
work at handling punts and running
with the ball soon attracted the atten-
ton of Coach Williams, who gave him
a chance at quarter on the scrub.

Officials Want Game
Played in Washington
Influential Men in War and Navy Depart
ments Believe Capital Logical Place for
Arnny-Navy Football Contest.

There seems to be a unanimity of
opinion among ,-Imv and navy officials
here in regard to the transfer of the
West Point-Annapolis game to Wash
ington.
A Times reporter today interviewed sew
eral of the prominent officials I'm the
War and Navy Departments, and in
every case there was Il decided opinion
in favor OF playing the game here. That
is 10 say. all were personally in favor of
the change. although they had not made a
study of the various reasons for and
against the proposition.
H. {. Gauss, private secretary to
Secretary Bonaparte, of the Navy De-
partment, thinks well of the matter
He said:
Princeton a Failure.
From what l hear from my friends,
q did not go to the game myself
understand the plan to play the game "a
Princeton proved a dismal failure, and
do not think another Army-Navy game
should be played there. OF the two
places considered. Washington and
Philadelphia / think the former should
be preferred.
THE only objection to Washington. as
L can see 1t, is the question of erecting
stands. 1t would cost a good big sum
10 erect 5O.eS9 seats. and this matter
would have to be considered.

CENTRAL TEAMS
NOT D|SORDERLY
President Wilson Denies
Charges About Trips.
OPPOSES PROPOSED RULE
sES PROPOSED RULE
Principal of Big School Thinks Boys
Should Be Allowed to Compete
=
in Other Cities.

In speaking of the recent press re-
ports concerning the alleged misconduct
Of Central High School boys on their
trips to Princeton last spring and
Philadelphia last month President Will
son, of Central, said today be could in
a measure understand how a report of
this kind could have arisen after the
trip of the football team to Pennsyl-
vania on the 18th of last month. since
it was true that the police of that city
experienced a little trouble in keeping
the Philadelphia rooters from over
rsaning the field after the game in their
enthusiasm over their victory.
'As matter Of fact. though" con-
tinued Mr.. Wilson, the Washington
boys were in no way connected with
the disturbance referred to, as they
were all in the dressing rooms which
had been set apart for them with the
immediate vicinity of the rooms and
returned before he had had time TO go
TO the scene of the disturbance
Behaved at Princeton.
But it comes as a complete surprise
to ME, and to Mr. Kelly. who accom-
panied the. baseball team to Princeton
last spring. to hear any misconduct
or ungentlemanly behavior charged up
TO the boys OF Central High School or
even to the boys OF the opposing team
or the Princeton rooters."
1t may be stated that the charges
against the boys on their trip TO Prince
ton are utterly without foundation.
there having been absolutely nothing
which happened that could be distort-
ed into any wrong-doing. as disinter-
ested persons who We're there at the
time are willing 70 testify.
Mr. Wilson also expressed himself
as being unfavorable to the proposed
new rule which II passed will prohibit
members Of high school teams in any
branch OF athletics from competing
outside of Washington as representa-
tives of the school to which they be-
