HIGH SCHOOL HUSK|ES
WORKING FOR PLACES
Raw Material Is Gradually Be-
ing Rounded Into Good
Condition. @

Prospects for a spirited series of
football games of the high school class
were never better. The teams of the
several high schools of Utah are now
in the field and are resorting to siren
nous training in order to be in condi-
tion for the coming trays. The reason
that spirited contests are expected is
that several teams are exceptionally
well matched.
The Salt Lake high school, which has
held the championship Of the State for
ten successive years, and which last
year captured the championship Of the
Northwest, will have an almost entire
ly new team to depend upon this sea
son. With the exception of three men,
the eleven will be new at the game
and, as q whole, will probably be the
lghtest that ever represented the red
have been aware from the first of the
season that the test of the high school
strength will come this year and have
entered into the work with an earnest
ness which will most probably result
in good swift eleven.
Twenty-Five men are now out trying
for the positions and among the num-
Der IS some extra good material. Two
squads are formed each afternoon and
and a half duration is gone through,
after which the two teams are lined
up against each other for an hour in
scrimmage work. During the scrim-
IMAGES, DR.. Murphy, who is coaching
the boys this year, keeps his eyes
peeled for good material and he claims
that he has in sight eleven extra good
players. Under the new rules the back
field will require very quick and active
men and, Judging from the number of
men who are trying out, three having
Those who are working for the field po-
sitions are Hammond, White, Sanche,
Richardson. Steifel and Stephenson.
All are able players and are work
ing hard. The quarterback position
is being contested for by Grant, Sheets
and Stephens. The three are so evenly
matched that it will be difficult mat
ter to make selection, Center is be-
ing worked for by Kimball, very
Scotty Morris, who played center last
season, Will return TO the school next
Wednesday, and says he will also try
for center. II will be hard fight be-
tween Kimball and Morris. Kimball
will have much the advantage as to
weight but Morris will have to his
credit years experience on the team.

old position Of tackle and Jimmy Dunn,
last year g end, viii be seen again in
the same position. unless he decides
to try for fullback which at present
seems improbable. The line material
is very undecided matter at this time,
there being fully fifteen men contest
ing for the six positions. Those try
ing for the line are Roberts, Levy,
Arnold. Home, Tomlinson, Snow, Tib
bey, Eckstein and Martin.
The schedule of games for the High
school is slowly being framed up. II
is almost certain that the Butte High
school team will be brought here for
game and that the Salt Lakers Will
tako a trip TO Pueblo. Nothing has
been heard from Ogden, but it is prob
able that the usual three games will
be played with them during the sea-
son.
All Hallows Saving Wood.
The All Hallows College team is also
saving wood and making hay while the
sun shines. Under the supervision of
Coach Tobin, they are rapidly round
ing into condition. Those trying for
the various positions are: Center
White; cuards-Donley, Rhoaden aud
Spicer: tackles-Twohey, Curran, Gus
ter, and Sullivan; ends-Hays, Murphy,
Prince, and Hogan; quarterback
Fitzmaurice, Wilsen, and Curley; backs

and Boyle. Two games have been ar
ranged for the college team, On Octo-
Der IS, the huskies will go to Poca
telIo to play the High school of that
city. Ogden will be played in Salt
Lake on October 30.
