HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Will diSo illlc up against Tie iilS-i >'i4o'i
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, a 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 bail
team last week a great deal of spirit was
revived by the presence of two or the
best foot ball stars ever turned out OF the
local high schools. These two men are
Magoffin. the Michigan star and Gun
nngham, the Princeton drop kicker. IN :
Cent-alites made a good showing In the
series this fall and were seriously thlnR-
ing of making a 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 10
annex a much-neededed championship
for the Blue and White next season. \
welcome piece of news was that Coach
Kirby. one of the closest students OF the
pgskin game around these parts, lnu-
mated that he might take the central
eleven in hand for the season OF 1910.
Technical will organize q basket Dail
ouint. and three positions on the team
will be held by French. Farmer and Nor
ris, who are all we'll acquainted with the
game The five will not be composed OF
eligible players. as it is not required
ewing to the fact that no interhigh series
will he 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 before the
tossing game will be firmly established
in the high schools on an equdl 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 me
prediction made in The Star a few days
ago. Central will lose quite few mem
bers and candidates for the team through
graduation. but with the weight rule IN In
effect the Blue and White team Will
surely be capable of holding It's own,
Judging from the quality of the material
that will remain. The whole backheld
will remain intact. and as fast packs
will be in demand next year the y Street
school is basing its chances On the anil
ity OF these three men. Hamilton, Reuter-
and TEirkieid.

of Technical and possibly Eastern, VIII

Tho managers of the different high
school base ball teams do not want In
overlook the fact that American Security
and Trust Company Will turn out a team
early in the season and is willing to give
games they desire. The bankers have a
classy combination and will guarantee to
give any OF the high schools close and
int eresting game.
