W. II. S. BOYS
PLAYING WELL
Football Team Will Open Sea-
son With Conference
Academy Team

The past week has been strenuous
for the members of the High School
football squad. Coach Baldwin started
in to round out the team Monday of
last week. and since then there has
been a decided Improvement. All can
didates have been given a chance to
show their calibre and have been
shifted around at the different posi-
tions until now they have shown where
they belong.
For the end positions there are three
good candidates to choose from; Kyle,
of last years team; Walther, a sub
from last year. and Hartman, a light,
but exceedingly fast and daring youth.
j. ID. Brown, the High Schools star
sprinter. is holding his own at quarter
back, and Croft, of last years scrub
team, is making good at centre. Colt
erman, this years captain. in all prob
ability will play at tackle. The guard
positions are still in doubt, as is the
backheld. The team this year will
prove equal to any of the teams
against which II is scheduled.
Manager Tatnall intended to open
the season on October 6, but owing to
misunderstanding with the opposing
team the first game will now be on
October 10. with Dover Conference
Academy. The following Wednesday
the team goes to Philadelphia and
lines up against North End Manual
Training School. Last year High
School held North East to a no score

prove interesting. Following is the
