HIGH SCHOOL PROSPECTS
GridirOn Heroes Ready 10 Line Up for
Fall Campaign,
MANY OLD MEN TO RETURN


Prospects at the omaha High school
this year are bright lor q team fast
enough to take not only the state cham
pionship, but also the Missouri Valley
tlCe.
Six of the regular men of last season
will be On hand TO don their sweaters
when the call for men is made and some
fifteen or eighteen of the members of the
second team and the football squad Will
be on the field In line for a place this
year. Coach r. l.. earns will have charge
Of the Omaha lads again this year and
says he expects a team that Will leave
record In Nebraska.
The new rules for the year 1910 call
for team that is fast rather than a
team OF weight. and the eleven which
has real I0-secOnd men on the ends will
find itself to the fore. Halfback is aNta
position where the quality desired v
speed and quickness rather than weight
Taking into consideration the fact that
the Omaha High school had a track team
that won the state meet In which seven
speed records were broker. II can DO
seen that there are liable TO be some
fast men on the squad. Richard Payne,
captain and left end can do 100 yards In
1895 and is even better at 220 yards
and several others OF the old men are
track stars.
For the places on the line except for
the ends the indications are that Coach
earns will be aL.el TO driu into shape q
bunch that will average anywhere from
1876 to 1875 pounds and this with back
field averaging 140. The weak spot in
the team is going to be the place he'd
by ex-captain McWhinney, that of cent
McWhinney was undoubtedly the best
high school center in Nebraska. He held
tnat place for four years on the Omaha
team and the school will feel his loss.

A schedule of games will be made for the

test for October s, at Omaha. The only
other date settled is that with St Joseph
