Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-11-03

Western has one of the best snapper
backs in the high schools i'm Krentzlein.
who is making his debut into high school
foot ball this season. He is in the game
all the time and is a hard man to get
by In the rushes through his position. AS
an accurate passer he is a star. II is
claimed he is one of the best centers
ever known to represent Western on the
gridiron. Considering this is his first
year at the pigskin game, this compli-
ment is all the more creditable.
1t begins to look as If Central might
lose Macdonald, ex-captain of the foot
ball team, in base ball this coming
spring. his knee apears to be healing
very slowly and might not be able to
stand the strain. III this is the case,
the Centralites will be minus the services
of one of the best first basemen in
the high schools. Technical lost Falconer
from the foot ball eleven this season ow-
ing to an injured knee. and he. too. is the
first baseman of the Tech nine. but from
present indications the injured member
will be all right in time for the base ball
series. Central has not appointed a base
ball captain to succeed Menefee, who will
not be a member of the Blue and White
nine next spring. Thomas, the short
stop, is a likely candidate. He led the 0
street nine in 1908.
Track work is booming at Central,
and many candidates are training reg
ularly under Coach Foleys direction.
The best men and several point win
ners in track events will join the squad
Immediately after the foot ball season.
Central always has held its own on the
cinder path. and Judging from the out
look this season the school will turn
out a formidable combinati for track
participation.
Acting Capt. Lully Of Business IL con-
fined to his bed with pneumonia and is
in all probability out of the remaining
contests that will be taken on by the
stenographers. Judging from the men
who have been appointed leaders at
Central and Business this year in foot
ball, 1t appears to be an omen of Ill
luck. for each man to take the job has
son or other. Gripp, who was chosen
to captain the Central eleven this sea-
son. but who decided to enter another
school at the beginning Of this school
year. has been an interested spectator
OF the last few high school contests and
expressed a regret that he was not on
the Blue and White eleven again. Gripp
won a name for himself in 1908. and his
loss this fall has been severely felt by
the Centralftes.
Central Is always extremely fortunate
in having distance runner of unusual
ability as member of its track squad.
few years ago it was Common. then it
was Schmidt. Dick and Zeh. all distance
runners, who easily copied laurels in
the high schools in the ha1f-mile and
mile runs. This fall found the team
without a representative in the distance
events. but Dyson. formerly of Western.
came to the rescue by entering Central.
He was king Of the long-distance run
ners in the high schools last season.
and under Coach Foley's tutoring
should develop into a worthy opponent
for any OF the preparatory school run

Tew Of Technical has been getting
away with quite q few long punts In
the high school series this season. 1t
is a peculiar fact that the Machinists
never unearth a drop or placement
kicker. However, with weight being an
important factor, a kicker with this
ability Is not needed at Technical.
