GETTING IN SHAPE
The High School Boys Working Out
for the Big Game on Saturday
Excellent Practice.

school put in a good stiff signal prac-
tice last evening. On account of
VIII Boyer leaving school and the
fact that Fullback Budelier hurt his
leg by falling from a moving train
last Saturday practically new left
side of the line must be developed by
Saturday. Miller must be drawn
back TO play at full, so that leaves
a left guard and a left tackle that
will be played by men unfamiliar to
those positions in the game with
Delta. The practice Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday of last week was
not up to the standard and on account
practice was INDUCED in owing to the
poor condition of the field. it being
too slippery for any kind of work.
On Monday last the practice was
much improved and the workout
Tuesday and last night was much
better. though much "horsing
around is carried to extremes by one
or two players.
But as whole the boys seem to
realize the fact that we are going
to be up against it" in Saturdays S
/ game with Delta and only by the
hardest kind of work can we hope
to win.
The work of Miller at full has been
very encouraging to the coach and
we hope he may show as much speed
"a . H.. g,,
game as he did in the Glenwood
game.
The work of LeClere, Hickman and
Steele on the line has been very fine
in practice and they are difficult prob
lens to solve by their respective op-
ponents in the games if we had a
combination like them on the left
side of the line we would then have
championship team. AS our ends
and backs are improving in each
game.
The playing of Waldo at Quarter
is improving every day and in time
he will be one of the best little quar-
ters in the business, his calling of
signals is clear and distinct. He is
quick and fast and uses good head
work. and with a little more exper-
fence the high school will have an all
Colorado interscholastic quarter
back.
Caldwell and Snyder at the halv-
es are the same old ground gamers,
and with Owen Smith we have good
half back material as Captain Bunt.
ing and Elmer Miller can both play In
this position
Another man. who. although he
cannot play on account of being in the
lower grades, deserves much credit
is Brooks. he has hardly missed a
practice this season and works hard
and earnestly all the while. and some
day he will be one of the mainstays of
the high school football team.
Wells at right end also continues
to improve and much is expected of
him in the coming contest
We are propounding the new rul-
es this season and those who like a
clean. open game will find 1t in Sat
urday's contest.
The Delta players are goods sports
men and play a square game all the
time and without doubt the specta-
tors will see one of the best games
to be played on the western slope
this season. Delta lost to Grand
Junction by only one point in the last
game and no doubt the visiting team
will come down here with the beat
Grand Junction" slogan and as they
advertised up there Greek meets
fit of the fact that both teams are
strong, evenly matched in weight and
it is toss-up who wins, that's the
kind of game to see, and all persons
who are not familiar with the great
American students game of football
are indeed out to witness this con
test. The admission will be twenty
| five cents and to all of those who
have longed for a winning team in
the local high school. you are invit-
ed to attend for thus far this year
your team has not lost a game Of
the four. they have played and Sat
urday afternoon at the fair grounds
To demonstrate the worth of this
seasons team our management has
received challenges from Denver
Manuel. Leadville, Salida and sever
al others on the other side of the
range But as it costs a good deal
to bring these teams over here we are
not able to do it unless we have the
support of our own city. and we may
championship as any team Of high
school men If we win all the rest Of
the games we have scheduled
