Logan Cunningham, former Central
High and Princeton University athlete,
left here this morning for Princeton
where he will take charge of the candi-
dates for the freshman foot ball eleven.
"Cunny," as he is Familiarity known in
this section, has been a member of the
varsity eleven at Princeton for the past
three Seasons and his consistent work at
halfback has evoked favorable comment
from critics all over the country The
position as coach of the Princeton fresh
man team was offered him last spring,
but he did not give definite answer I'M
til recently. Last spring the Tiger eleven
experienced the most successful season in
years. romping away with the champion
ship of freshman teams among the major
universities. The success of the team
was due in large way to the work of
Tom Pendleton, the former Episcopal
High School player. who attracted consid-
cradle attention in this vicinity as an all
around athlete at the Alexandria institu-
ton. Pendeton was the most consistent
ground gamer on the team and probably
scored more points for his team than any
other two players.
This season he is a candidate for the
varsity eleven and few doubt that he will
be able to earn position. In speaking OF
his chances Cunningham said: I'm my
estimation Pendleton is one of the most
promising youngsters who ever broke
into athletics at Princeton. He should
prove a second Eddie Dillon, and no play
err ever Gid more for his team and uni
versity than did Dillon

problematical, for it is likely that the
coaches will try him out at several po-
sitions before assigning him a regular
place.
"Prunie'' Witmarsh, for the past two
seasons enc Of the mainstays of the Bush
ness High School base ball nine has en-
tered Central and will probably be
candidate for the base bah team at the
o street institution next spring.
Witmarsh was a member of the strong
team that won the championship for
Business in 1909, and his all-around play
ing was a prominent factor in the success
Of the team. During his first season he
played in center field. but last year he
was shifted to the infield and proved Sec
ond to no other shortstop in the high
schools. The acquisition of another fast
infielder was. in the estimation of the
Central players, all that was necessary
to give the school another championship
next spring. Rawlings. at second base,
vast the, OILY infielder who graduated
with the Class OF 10, and the newcomer
win probably be shifted to the vacant
position.
