At Kendall Green
Thirty Candidates for GaHaudet Football Team.

The week just closed witnessed the
start of the fotbaIl practice at GalIaudet
College. when Capt. Hume Battiste.
the versatile Indian quarter back. is
sued a call for candidates at the open
ing of the Kendall Green institution.
Some thirty undergraduates respond
ed to the pigskin call. and while the
number enrolled is somewhat below the
normal 1t is gratifying to note that the
material for a representative Buff and
Blue eleven is goOd-better than that of
the previous season.
Besides Capt Battiste. among the vet
Grams of the 1910 gTidirOn back at the
East Side college are Right Guard West,
Right End Rockwell Left End Foltz.
Left Half Back Roller. Full Back Jacob
son and Gledhill. Left Guard Miller,
Left Tackle Durian. and Moore. who al
ternated with Battiste at quarter back,
and made a brilliant showing for
first-year student II is likely that
Moore will be placed at quarter back
and Capt. Battiste will take one of the
hadk positions-Left Half Roller going to
right tackle.
Ex-Capt and Full Back Brick. the
tow-headed New Yorker who took n
conspicuous part in the previous grid

the game by old injuries and parental
objections.
