ACADEMY CANDIDATES
HOLD THEIR PLACES
No Change in Team That Will Meet
Wndham High This Afternoon.

The lineup first picked for the Acad-
envy football team have all held their
jobs down in the past week and the
same eleven men who appeared in the
opening game last Saturday will play
against NVindham high school when
the eleven from Willimantie comes
down here this afternoon. Sut there
is one shift in positions, as Isbister
has been taken from right guard and
put at center. where he is passing the
ball i'll good shape. Herbert, who
started at center, is at right guard,
and seems better fitted for this posi-
ton than to handle the ball OH the
snapback.
Left end is strl somewhat uncer-
tain place as Bliss and Smith are MAX
ing fight for choice on this flank.
Probably Smith will start the game
this afternoon, with Bliss substituting
later. Bliss has the advantage in
weight. but Smith peakes up for this
in some ways by His aptitude for the
game and he $50 shows the marks of
d punter OF .aass, which is said to be
prime essential in the new game.
Captain Mccormick at quarterback,
Kinney End Swan at halves and SmuI-
lens at fullback are developing into a
sood running quartette and also have
variety of forward and double pass
es which should be effective for prog
Tess over the chalk lines.
Friday afternoon Manager Bailey
had the marking out of the field COM
pleted by running all the five yard
lines. so that the officials will have no
trouble in determining the distances
gained or needed on downs.
Practice this week under Coach
Aultman has greatly improved the
Academy's play and they should get
the scalp of Windham high when they
meet this afternoon. The Academy
