Football


is being shown in football among the
boys of the high school and it is the
expectation that many interesting
games will be played with the high
school teams of the neighboring towns.
Although football material is very
light this year the prospects bid fair
to the development of strong team.
Superintendent Mcintyre has not
taken the initiative in the encourage
ment of football but he has wisely
left the matter in the hands of the
boys who have expressed q desire to
organize team.
The first practice was held on Mon
day evening at which time a large
number of the candidates for the
team turned out. The boys are en-
tering into the sport in a manner that
the team will do creditable work this
year and that it will succeed in main
tanning the glorious record of past
high school teams.
Reggie Middleton was chosen unan-
imously captain of the team to be-
The following are the names of those
become candidates: Lyle Brown, Ray
man, Tennie Peterson. Clinton Peter
son, Fred Asslin. Ray Ross, Harold
Vandermark and Harold Anglim,
Fargo Forum: Under the direction
of Coach Dobie the footballists at the
a. C. are gradually rounding into
shape and it will not be long before
a team will be forthcoming. Regular
hoc t.,
being held every afternoon at 4 o'clock
at the league park. Scrimmage work
has not yet been begun but the boys
are doing signal work, tackling and
running with the ball. 1t is a little
early yet to make any definite pre-
dictions, but Coach Dobie is taking a
much more hopeful view of the situa-
ton than he felt warranted in doing
a few days ago. A number of the
former players are either here now or
are expected to come in during the
next few days, and these will add
greatly to the strength Of the squad.
Among the veterans who will don
the football toys this year for the A.
c. are Carpenter, last years quarter,
Birch, who played end last season,
Hallenberg, the former quarter. Os-
valid, who played tackle on the 1905
team, is expected to arrive tomor-
row and will begin practicing at
once. Haskins, another former A. C.
player, is expected to arrive Monday.
He was a green man last year and
failed to make the first team. He is
heavy, however, and is expected to
make good this season.
There are a number of promising
subs who are practicing diligently
and who look like good material for
football players. Ben Wheeler, who
comes from Casselton where he play
ed on the high school team and who
weighs 1855 pounds, is one of these
George Richardson of Britton, S. D.,
is another. He has also had some
high school experience. Walter Jacob
son, of Sleepy Eye. Mimi, is another
eX-high school player who is expected
to turn out we'll. Ed Little, an in
dian from Fort Totten, has Joined the
squad. He has had some experience
on preparatory teams and is fast. but
is rather light, weighing only 145.
An effort is being made to provide
all the football men with uniforms
and the squad this year is larger
than 1t has ever been before this
cary III IAC oSdSOu mere Is d large
quantity of material to work with
but of what kind is yet to be deter
mined, and Coach Dobie says it de-
Ponds on the men largely whether or
not a good football team will be
| evolved.
Minneapolis, Sept. 21.-Football
practice started in enthusiastic style
on Northrop Field Wednesday after
noon. The late beginning of work
seemed to call out all of the pent IN
enthusiasm and after the afternoons
tryout the men went into the training
quarters whooping it up for Minne-
sofa with all of the old time vigor.
George Case was out yesterday in
citizens clothing for time, but could
not stand it. He retired into dress
ing room and appeared in few min
utes in football toys. He was given
warm welcome. Percy Brush whose
yeoman work at tackle for the past
two years was among the first to ar
rive. Brush is through with playing,
but he came out to help the gang
! and was soon behind one of the squads
in the first work of the year.
DR.. Williams, when he came on the
field at o'clock, found aDout thirty
candidates in full regalia.
