Not Play on Hilltop
Giant Tackle Likely to Gipe Up FootbaH-Wu Be
Loss to Georgetown Sitterding
Comes Out-Gridiron Gossip
By c. w. SWAN.

Skip" wymard, Georgetown's giant
tackle and punter last year, may not be
candidate for the eleven this season.
Although Skip is back in college, 1t
is rumored that he will not go out for
| the time Just what his reasons are
could not be learned, but II Is safe to
say that every pressure in the world
will be brought to bear on the giant
linesman in order to get him in a uni
form for the game of November IS.
wymard is the best punter on the Hill
top, and his place will be hard to fill.
Fury will more than likely be called
upon to do the kicking, while Nine
Point Harry will still be the goal-kick-
ing child.
The largest squad since practice was
started reported to Coach Nelson yes
terday, thirty-eight in all coming out in
moleskins. Dave White, Bryant, and
Hart were not on hand. Nothing but
light work was attempted, owing to the
intense heat.
Billy Sitterding, the sub. quarter back
last year, appeared with the second team,
under Coach Gargan, yesterday, and
showed his old speed and dash in run
ming the eleven. This is the first time
Billy has worked out with the pigskin
pushers this season, and his work was
a pleasant surprise to his many friends.
To-day. should II get a little cooler,
Coach Nelson will put the two teams
through a good scrimmage.
The first high school game Of the sea-
son will be played tomorrow, with Cen
trail and Gonzaga as the opposing teams.
The o Streeters are in the pest of con-
dition, and should have an easy time
with the GonZaga boys. While this will
be nothing more than a practice game,
the Central lads will work their hardest
to make a good impression, as the other
teams will be sure to have some one
on hand to watch the game.
1t Is rather doubtful as to the Cen
trail team trying any new plays, old
football being resorted to In most cases.
Saturday the Tech team will open its
season with a game with Gallaudet, at
Gallaudet. This will be a practice game
for the Kendall Green boys, and they
viii hardly work more than a few Of
the regulars throughout the game.
The Machinists are making rapid
strides, and by the time the first game
rolls around, they should be in the best
of condition. Sinclair the veteran OF
last year, and Country" Morris are
back in school, and II is more than
likely that they will be candidates for
their old positions.
Coach Curley Byrd, of the Western
team, will take a squad OF twenty-nine
men to Orange, Va, next Saturday to
play the woodberry Forest team OF that
place. The local boys will be out
weighed and outpIayed by the older and
bigger team, but Curfey is confident that
his boys will make creditable showing |
Herai Molineu. half back during the
past three years at Business High School,
was yesterday appointed captain OF the |
eleven. succeeding Harry Wilson, who |
is unable to play on account of condi- |
tions in his studies. Molfneu Is popular |
with the boys, knows the game, and |
should make a capable leader.
Several new men reported with the |
squad yesterday, but they
are light and inexperienced, and pros
poets are no brighter than they were
the first day of school. Magnus Wood, |
the baseball captain, viii be out to-mor- |
row, and, as he has had some expert /
ence. may strengthen the line.
Galiaudet had about thlrty-five out
yesterday, and they went through some /
spirited practice. Cotton Brick WILL be /
unable to play on account Of his bad
knee. but It is hoped to have q man de-
veloped for his position by the time the
hrst big game comes around.
