FOOT BALL OUTLOOK
IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Game Will Be More Popular
All IntitutionS but Business
Will Have Coaches.

From present indications foot ball will be
| more popular this year among the students
of the high. schools. with the exception OF
Business, than for the past three seasons;
and although the elevens will not be heavy.
the game will be In the limelight until near
Thanksgiving day. Some of the best men
on the teams have graduated, but it is ex-
pected that the material on iland will fill
out all the weak points and no setbacks
will mar the present outlook.
All the schools but Business have chosen
coach. Central has obtained the serv-
ices Of Phil King. He took charge of the
Central squad early in the week. anu the
boys are now down to the finer points of
the game. Mcdonald. the big tackle, was
elected captain at the close OF the sea son
last year. and IS now busy on plans for
the coming championship battles. Mr. King
will be assisted in the coaching by Logan
Cunningham who played on the Wesleyan
University team last season, and was for
four years with the Central team. and
Snow. another well-known player. who has
graduated from the Central ranks.
Walter Dick was elected manager Of the
team at the close of the season last year.
and he is endeavoring to arrange several
preliminary games with local and out-of-
town eievens. A game has already been ar
High School team Of Philadelphia. and 1t
will probably be played in this city.

good men were lost through graduation. and
it is thought with the old men. such as

Kashwitz. halfback: Mcdonald tcaptain).
tackle; Burch. new man from the Borden
town Military Academy. ful1back: Oyster.
halfback: Evans. quarterback; Wheeler. end :
Taylor. center. and Fleming. end. the

ing the other positions. In fact. the Cen

for a strong team than any OF the other
teams. The new men out for the team are
M. Eager Anderson, Bielaski, Woodson.
Maxey. Wilson, Townsend, Spidel. Vann.
Wingate. Kennedy. Harnsberger Fishback.

Technical.
The Technical Manual Training School
has lost practically all of the old men,
only four remaining who are out for the
team this season. They are Hart. guard;
Curtis end: Thiele (captain). end. and
Hoover halfback. This leaves the Tech
meal team in a rather shaky position. but
with a good lot of youngsters who have
come out the athletic board hopes to de-
velop another strong team. Miller is man
ager Of the team. and has arranged pre-
liminary game for October VIII the Epis-
copal High School team Of Alexandria. so
that the cOacneS can get q SOOu line on the
boys. Mr.. Hecox Of the faculty of the
school is again coaching the team.

all substitutes on the eleven last year they
received a thorough training at the hands
Of Bocock and Kirby. who proved to be
excellent coaches The boys this year are
not as large as those Of last season. but

team for some years. the boys are working
with hopes of getting one this year OF
last years team but four boys are out for
the team this year. The squad which is

Business.
Owing to a recent ruling Of the faculty
of the Business High School the boys of
that institution have decided that they will
not put a foot ball team in the field this
season. At meeting held during the week
the school authorities issued the following
statement: Pupils of the Business High
School shall not participate in interhigh
school athletics until after the successful
completion of the first half year on
count of the interference of severe athletic
training with school work. Such interfer-
ence is marked in the first year, and the
students must employ large part of their
out-of-school time in home study in the
mastery of the new subjects under unac-
customed conditions
AS foot ball is strictly a fall game. 1t
will be seen that only second-year boys
can participate in this sport, and as this
school has had for the most part tC rely
on the frst-year boys in building up team
1t was decided that there was not enough
