The site for the new NJ Street High

as an athletic field, pending the erec-
ton of a new high school. Permis-

High School, and will be used by boys
OF tones, Douglass, Abb Simmons,
Banneker, Cook, Slater and Langston
schools for athletic training. The
western hall of this square should be
given consideration III future est
mates for playground purchase 1t Is
ideally situated for playground or ath-
letic field purposes by the coiored
high schools and seven elementary
schools located within half mile
radius and no dwellings are now
erected thereupon.
Soccer football promises to be an
interesting feature of athletic life at
the colored high schools this season.
Three class teams at NJ Street High
and Armstrong and two at Business
have been formed. These will play
an inter-class series, after which the
best players will be formed in asso-
ciation teams and a series of games
will be played under the high school
games committee of the P. S. A l.
Splendid form is being shown by
those players who learned the rudi-
ments of the game within the past
two years, and a wide spread interest
is evidenced by all. Without doubt
it is more widely liked by the great
mass of boys whose weight and
strength is not of intercollegiate
football calibre The game Is essen
TALLY a kicking game, which pro-
duces great skill in foOt-work, and
yet body checking and lodging form
a great part of soccer. 1t took three
days of a world series attendance to
equal a one-day crowd that turns out
to witness one of the border games in
Great Britain, and when once rooted.
its popularity is assured Practice
takes place daily on the field which
was purchased as site for the new
NJ Street High School and the How
ard playground.
