HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

SCHOOLS, out no 1nterhigh series will be
played, although several of the high
schools will compete on the basket ball
floor this winter. The Georgetown props
Will also line up against the high school
teams. and many interesting matches are
predicted to be pulled off in high school
circles this season, but no championship
will be at stake.
Kuehn, former Technical High bas-
ket ball player, is holding down one of
the positions on the Carroll Institute
quint. and from reports is putting up
good game. He was member of one OF
the first basket ball teams to represent
Technical at the tossing game.
At the Central supper to the foot ball
team last week a great deal of spirit was
revived by the presence of two of the
best foot ball stars ever turned out of the
local high schools. These two men are
Magoffn, the Michigan star. and Cum
ningham, the Princeton drop kicker. TIL
Centralites made a good showing in the
series this fall and were seriously think
ing of making strong bid for first hon
ors next fall, but after the earnest
speeches of these two former Central
athletes the foot ball warriors in the
school will certainly do their utmost to
for the Blue and White next season. y
welcome piece of news was that Coach
Kirby, one of the closest students OF the
pigslkin game around these parts, init
mated that he might take the Central
eleven IN hand for the season of 1910
Technical will organize basket bali
quint, and three positions on the team
will be held by French Farmer ana NOR
ris, who are all well acquainted with the
game. The five will not be composed OF
eligible players, as it is not required,
owing to the fact that no lnterhlgh series
will be played The Machinists. however,
will IN all probability line up with Busl-
ness and Western, and expect TO make a
good showing. 1t is rumored that II VIII
only be a question OF time pelore TUE
tossing game will be firmly established
in the high schools on an equai OASIS
with base ball and foot ball.
The election of Capt. Hamilton as
leader of the Central eleven for the sec
ond successive year is carrying out the
prediction made in The Star few DAYS
ago Central will lose quite few mem
bers and candidates for the team through
graduation but with the weight rule IN
effect the Blue and White team VIII
surely be capable of holding It's own
Judging from the quality OF the Ina.eria,
that will remain. The whole Dackheio
remain
will be in demand next year the . STREE
School is basing its chances on the adj
ity OF these three men, Hamilton, Reuter-
and Thirkield.

date for the captaincy. but stone was
the fortunate one.
