HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

| the pOdIQ Oh oOuCdtlOn IN refusing 10 &c
cept the trophy offered by Mrs. b. IL
Elliot, an enthusiastic follower OF ath-
letics. to the championship high school
| foot ball eleven. sets precedent that will
! probably be carried out in the future.
1t has been explained that the prime
motive that prompted the action arose out
Of the fact that the donor OF the said
trophy, ignorant Of the rules Of the COM
mittee. offered the same without first Sc
| curing the necessary permission.
/ A rule that is worth calling to the at
! tention of those who may take 1t upon
themselves to show their interest in scho-
lastic sports in a like manner Is that
which requires the donor of a prospective
| trophy the first gain the permission of the
athletic committee Of the board. and
| later that Of the board, before formal
presentation.
Ricardo Zappone. guard on the Business
High foot ball eleven, picked by local
authorities as one of the leaders in his
position, was host last Friday evening at
foot ball supper rendered the members
and coach of the Business squad.
During the first part of the evening the
boys were entertained by a party OF tai
ented young ladies, including the Misses
Ruth Stokes, Marguerite Zappone. Mar
lana Gray and Carrie Bailey. Later in
the evening they retired to the dining
room and partook of Dutch supper"
Those present included Coach White and
the following players: Scott, Bridget,
Rathbone, Wilson. Richards, Mol.neauX.
Back, Nash. schaeffer. Fay, Boo, Disney,
Dodge. Haar. Brock, Moore, oyster and
Mr.. Crandall, athletic adviser at Busi-
ness High
To be elected captain Of a foot ball
honor but rarely accorded a high school
athlete and George Hamilton, captain
elect at Central. can rightfully feel proud
| of the distinction.
In the three years that he has played
| with the team Hamilton has more than
proven his ability as leader and 1t Is
evident that the players appreciate the
fact. The duties thrust upon him as
leader have not affected his playing as
has been the case In other instances, and
each year he has played the same con-
sistent game in the backfeld. With
Capt Hamilton, Reuter-, Van Dyne, War
ner, Hunt. Stokes and King, not to speak
Of several members of the second team,
already in line for next seasons team,
CenIrars chances for repeating appear
bright.
BY virtue Of its defeat at the hands of
the Eastern High School eleven at
American League Park last WED Wednesday
loses all right to its claim on the
scholastic championship title Of the Dis
ltrict.
| Although the suburban team played
| remarkable game and proved beyond
doubt that it is more than a combination
of ordinary ability. the opponents loomed
up as superior in many points. Centrars
easy victory over Eastern a month ago
deprives the Capitol Hill team Of the
title that it would otherwise hold.
The progress Of the Cathedral School in
the local athletic arena. in the two years
| OF the institutions existence, Is nothing
short of remarkable and it Is evident
that it's team will figure prominently In
| all athletic contests bookeh Cor this
vicinity in the future.
| In Mr.. Green Cathedral has one of the
| most capable all-around coaches of this
section. An enthusiastic follower of
every branch Of athletics, he has exerted
| every effort to add another prominent
| factor to the scholastic circuit, and that
he has succeeded goes without saying
The success of the foot ball team is
| largely due to his individual efforts, and
1t is needless to say that he is deserving
| of the earnest support of his under
| studies. Coach Green promises to put
basket ball, track and base ball teams in
the field that will attract widespread
attention.
| Basket ball seems to be the watchword
! among those athletically inclined at Bust
ness High. and the student body aniici-
pates one Of the most successful seasons
| in history.
| Intersection and interclass leagues have
\ been formed. and the majority OF games
played to date have brought about ex-
| cellent competition. A squad OF record
breaking proportions has reported for the
regular school team, and at this writing
no one man Is sure OF his position on the
team. A schedule is being arranged that
will include games with all leading high
and preparatory schools Of washington
and the immediate vicinity.
| With possibilities for the formation of
a track team decidedly slim, athletes at
Eastern have likewise turned their atten-
ton to basket ball. and during the past
| few weeks q squad has been working out
daily In the gymnasium In The basement
Of the school. Next week the squad will
be strengthened materially by the addi-
ton of several members Of the foot BALI
I eleven. Parker Defandorf, Weaver and
Chase should form the nucleus Of a team
that should more than hold its own
against other schoolboy teams Of the vi
cinity.

p eciates the efforts Of the players as

them with the fact when they meet next
Thursday evening.
