PROSPECTS
AT N. Il. S.
Blue and White Has Ma
terial for Strong Eleven
This Season.

Prospects for the football team of the,
Newark High School this season look very
bright at the present stage of the game.
Judging from the number Of last years
team returning and the material entering
from the grammar schools, as well as a
number of good players who did not come
out last year, the field from which the
team will be picked will be exceptionally
large. The school should turn out one OF
the strongest and best teams In the history
OF the school this fall, and should be a
big improvement on last years eleven.
James Alverson thought of giving mp
the position OF captain of this years team
because he was elected captain Of last
years team at the beginning Of the season
when McKinnon did not return. AIverson
said that no one had taken the captaincy
twice, but a few of his friends told him
that the same thing happens in basketball
and that he had worked hard for a winning
team last year and had well earned the
honor.
Although right end is left open by the
graduation of Agate, left end Will be filled
by Edsall, last years star. Rudd's de-
parture late last fall also left a sure thing
at end for Edsall. Rad plays a fast game
at end and changed off at times with both

Pierce will have the best chance. Both

better material turn up at quarter than at

school early in the spring and may not

as well as a number of others who did

George C. MEME, last years coach, was
in town a few days ago. Captain Alver-

to help make the High School team one
of the greatest In its history. II Meme
cannot be secured, Professor johnson win
be asked to fill the position. The team
could not have better luck than to get such
an able man as Professor Johnson or
Coach MEME. Jimmy Alverson looks for
ward to a profitable season and expects to
have the boys out on the green limbering
up by September 80, at least. Manager K.
Dalzell is busy with his schedule. He is
booking games with most of the New York
schools and has carded several short trips
for the team. Dalzeli promises q long and
hard schedule for the team.
Outlook mt MontcIafr.
The prospects of having a Championship
football team In Montclair this season are
not exceptionally bright. as a number Of
the star players on the elevens last year
at the High School and the Academy 90
not expect to return this year to resume
their studies. OF the two schools the
Montclalr High will probably have the
better team. as they have more candidates
to pick from than the Academy. 1t makes.
however. little difference which team
makes the best showing during the season.
for In the latter part of the year these
two schools meet and a great game is al
ways put Up by both teams.
