ORANGE ELEVEN
VERY CONFIDENT
Training Hard For Saturday
Games at MaSSilIiOn,
Ohio

Great interest is being shown by the
followers Of the orange football eleven in
next Saturdays game. The local team VIII
play the Massiilion Tigers at Massilion'
ohio. The Tigers are considered the
strongest professional team in the United
States and the Orange eleven viii un-
doubtedly give them a good game.
The team is the strongest professional
eleven that ever represented Whining
ton and most Of the men on the team
have played together for the past eighe
years and their team work is simply
marvellous. Captain Jones has had the
men out every day for the last two weeks
and they are showing great Improvement
They have two good trick plays that VIII
possibly fool the Massilllon Tigers and
they are practicng them so that they Will
have them down TO science In last
Saturdays game the local team had four
OF the best men out OF the line-up on ae-
count Of injuries and il Is thought that
they will an be around an right for next
Saturdays game In Massillion.
william H. Bevan, the former star full
back OF the Delaware College team win
be In the game by Saturday and he is
taking the signal practice every day and
By the latter part of the week the coaches
will let him enter the scrimmages
Joseph Mcclure. one Of the most popu-
lar football players that ever played ON
a wilmington team expects to be In the
lineup by the end of the week, but IL is
very doubtful as Il is hard for Joe to
got in condition. The captain viii give
him some light signal practice this week
ana with proper care he might round
into good shape. During his absence Ed
ward Dunn, the former Highland A. c.
star Is playing half back but Dunn is
much more at home IN the line.
zebiy is expected TO be IN the lineup by
the end OF the week and his weight and
speedy playing viii materially strengthen
the line, the only place that showed any
weakness in Saturdays game with the
Baltimore University.
Greenwood. the star quarterback Of the
locals is putting up better game than
he ever did. and his heady playing is q
big factor in the success Of the orange
eleven. Greenwood is player on the
style Of Stevenson, Penn's former quar-
terback. and with the rules Of this year
st is thought that he win develop into one
of the best ground gamers on the team.
Harvey Draper is getting into goo0
shape and his playing was simply great
on Saturday. He is a little heavier than
he was last year ana has more speed than
ever
OF the new men, Warren Ridgway IS
making the best showing and as a utility
man there are few men in the east who
excel him. He weighs over 200 pounds and
he CARRIES his weight wen.
The balance OF the men are in good con-
dition and expect to put UP the game OF
their life. The men viii leave here on Fri
day afternoon and viii occupy a special
Pullman car from Phuadelphia. They VII
practice Saturday morning in Massilllon
