HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
EVENLY MATCHED
Football Championship Sc
rieS to Open Next
Tuesday.

One week from today the referees
whistle viii usher in the football cham
pionship season for the high schools
OF Washington, and followers of their
favorites will have a chance 10 see the
five schools struggling for the banner
event Of the year in athletics.
It has been conceded by the majority
that this year the teams are more even
~ matched than they have been for
years. Ant-season games so far have
demonstrated that the high schools are
putting up a fine class of football as
taught by the different competent ex-
perts, and that when the referees whis-
tie blows next Tuesday in the opening
game an excellent article of the game
under this years rules can be witnessed
At this early date there would be diff
ficulty in picking the team which seems
70 have the best prospects for landing
the championship. Different close OBJ
servers are at sea in expressing their
opinions and all find refuge in saying
that theA race will be a close one.
Central High School has a big squad,
the numbers containing many veterans
who have made regulations, and others
who have shown promise In Reuter-,
Kelly, and Captain Hamilton, who VIII

should be hard tC stop. Van Dyne's
work against the Hatchetites yesterday
puts him in the class Of stars and bar
ring accidents, the yOungster should
make a name for himself. Central
record this year has been satisfactory
to its many followers, and Coach
Thomas seems TO have been getting re-
suits.
Coach HecoX has a large squad Of
inexperienced men, and he has care
gully refrained from letting others get
a line on his team. Tech held Epis-
copal High School to a tie yesterday,
which seemed 10 satisfy him greatly.
Tech lost many men from last year,
and Coach HecOX is up against IL in
developing a winner this year. The
loss of many veterans in the line has
uecessitated the de, elopment OF a light
or team Tech has played but two
games, winning and tying. In Captain
Tew and Thrall the team possesses two
good men, and II is understood that
several others will more than come up
10 expectations.
The outlook at Eastern is calculated
10 bring honor 70 the Capitol Hill school
from indications so far this year Coach
Donnelly has developed and buile around
Captain Parker a team which is to be
feared by the other schools Not since
put such a fast bunch on the field. The
squad, though small, has many large
men, and has succeeded so far in win
ming its games, and made as good
showing against Gallaudet as did Cen
trail. Those who have Eastern's In
Ierest at heart expect many things
from II.

MAY PROHIBIT TANDEM
RIDING ON MOTORCYCLES
Commissioners Considering Advisa.
bility of Regulation to Minimize
Chances of Accident.

Although the Commissioners are at
present of the opinion that common sense
rather than police regulations should be
applied to stop people from being killed
and injured by riding two at a time on
motor cycles, there is a possibility that a
police regulation prohibiting this style OF
JOY RIDING may be adopted. Commits
sioner Johnston, in charge of the police
department, has ordered a report on all
the facts bearing on accidents on motor
cycles and bicycles from the cause men
toned, and other facts bearing on any
regulation that would have to be drawn
up.
II consider it dangerous" he said this
morning. this riding two at time on a
motor cycle, and I am going to look into
the matter. However, it would seem to
be matter to be regulated more by
common sense than anything else. Then,
too. there is the cry that We are over
regulated now. We don't want to get in
the habit Of making paternar regula-
lions. and yet there may be good reason
for this special regulation after all. We
will know more about it after the police
are through with their investigation

two children were riding, and a heavy

BOARD FILES REPORT ON
DROWNING Of SAILORS
Disaster in New York Harbor
Due to Combination of
Circumstances.

A remarkable combination Of circum-
stances, no one of which taken singly
was responsible, caused the swamping Of
the sailing launch Of the battleship New
Hampshire in New York harbor the night
Of September 30 and the consequent loss
of more than thirty lives. Thus the naval
board of inquiry. which investigated the
disaster and its causes sums up its con-
illusions in its report to the Navy De-
partment
Had the men aboard the launch obeyed
the order to sit down in the boat the
board believes the accident would not
have occurred. However. there were sew
eral other contributing causes 1T seems
to the board that all extraordinary cir
cumstances must have conspired fatally
to transform an ordinary routine matter
into calamity" according to the report.
Crosses Strong Tide.
The board found that the launch was
deeply laden. although not more so than
for abandon ship" She was towed
across a strong tide in sea generally
confused. rendered more SO by wind and
the swell Of at least one steam yacht. A
number Of men were standing between
thWarts and though they were ordered to
sit down only few of them obeyed.
Some spray came aboard and some of the
men attempted to- move aft to escape a
drenching.
Inc towing launch must have been MAX
ing too great speed. although the board
says 1t lost a valuable witness in the
death of the bow man of the sailing
launch. who alone knew what was hap
penlng. This man was calling for knife
to cut the towline when water In quantity
began coming aboard
Refusal to Sit Down.
Nevertheless. the board believes that
up to this point there was no danger"
continues the report, land that if all
hands had stuck to the boat. especially
had they sat Gown, she would not have
been swamped.
The disaster was precipitated by some
or the men mounting the gunwale. due to
a small-sized panic caused by few jump

proved the report.
