The outlook for fast football team
at st. Vincent next season is mucn
brighter than in years past. Nearly
all the old athletes will be back In
school again and several new and
promising candidates already have been
selected to fill the vacancies OF those
who have graduated from the fnstitu-
ton. Walter Bringhopp. former tackle
who was called suddenly to st. Louis
recently, writes from that city that he
will be back for the opening OF ran
practice. George Stoney, with MS
brother Harry, will be candidates Tor
the halfback positions. Tommy De
Ybarrando, the all-round athlete VINO
played quarter last season on the first
team against the Sherman Indians, ex-
poets to get a tryout for one OF the
ends this season, as does Carrigan, who
has Just arrived from his vacation III
Arizona Holleran, who fractured MS
shoulder in one of the games against
the Sherman Indians, no doubt VIII De
back to fill the position Of center. Car
rigan should be a great addition TO Inc
team of the Catholic institution, as ne
is an unusually strong player in the
position that he hopes to land.
Coach Walter Hempel has found
large athlete in Walter Hutch, weight
205 pounds, who comes well recon-
mended from Fresno high school. he
intends to try for one of the guard
positions. Another crack athlete who
will enter the Catholic institution is
Wellington, who comes from Michigan.
OF the old material that will be back
may be mentioned Leffert, who, no
doubt, will hold down guard position.
Casey probably will be on the line this
year. IIe is a consistent man at punt
ing and bueking. Although the foot
ball season Is two months away, one
can see several of the junior athletes
on the campus, kicking the pigskln
around and indulging in signal practice.
The Saints last year, although handl-
capped, was one of the foremost foot
ball squads in the south. Among the
institutions that 1t defeated were the
Sherman Indians, Harvard military
academy, Yale school, Compton high,
second team, and Pomona high school.
In addition to entering into track,
football and baseball the Saints will
have teams in the different handball
and tennis tournaments this year.
Handball was taken up and the stu
dents took to that game like ducks to
water. Among the men who developed
into fast players were Tommy De
Ybarrando, who. won the college doubles
championship, and Frenchy Lamar,
who won the mems singles Tennis Is
to be a factor in the college calendar
of sports next season. The courts have
been worked over, and Immediately
after school opens practice games will
be played both on the st. Vincent and
Sixteenth street courts. Coach Moore,
who has charge of this department,
says the material at hand gives promise
of successful season in these events.
Later in the season they will enter a
strong team in the county tennis tour
nament, which will be held under the
auspices of the A. A. u.
Although the Saints were not very
strong last year in track affairs, Coach
Hempel, who at the present time is in
Seattle, expects to develop a strong
team from both his football and base
ball squads. Regular practice in foot
ball will start about the second week
in September, and Rev. Father Glass,
who displays great enthusiasm in all
branches of athletics, will not be one
bit niggardly in regard to the financial
end of this important department of
the school. The cinder path will be
narrowed ard placed in excellent con-
dition for the opening. of the different
athletic events.
