1912 FOOTBALL
PROSPECTS AT
TECH ARB BRIGHT
Through Medium Of Eight-oared
Crew, Gridiron Material Is
Being Developed.
ONLY TWO VETERANS GONE

Prospects for q championship football
team at Tech for the fast approaching
season are exceedingly bright. Since the
early part Of May the Machinists epoch
has had some Of the aspirants for berths
on the football team working out on the
Potomac River and has developed an
eight-oared crew which compares favor
ably with any schooIboy eight IN the
country and 10 a creditable successor to
the championship team which was turned
out in 1906 and which cleaned up IN all
the events 1t rowed.
The men comprising the crew an are
eight big fellows with plenty OF beef and
nerve and have developed into re-
markedly fast aggregation. The only
real race which It has rowed was against
the New Rochelle eight in the Junior
event Of the Peoples Regatta, held on
the Schuylkill on the Fourth OF July.
The Blacksmiths lost this race by
very small margin, but were fresh at
the finish and show promise OF being
heard from before the present rowing
season Is over. Had the race been rowed
over a course familiar to the locals they
would probably have won their initial
race. as the handicap OF rowing on for
eign waters Ia big one to overcome.
Many New Faces.

when they left for California However.
1t is an assured fact that both these men
viii be back in harness when the call for
material is issued In the early days Of
September. Capt. Earl Eckendorf returns
to Tech for his last time next fall. and
will in all probability play the backfield. |
Morris Missing.
As far as is known only two veterans
will be lost this year. Country Morris, |
one of the greatest athletes who ever per- |
formed before a scholastic crowd, and |

Of again reporting for practice In their /
endeayors to land places on the squad. |
There are some rafting good men at the /
school which has won so many athletic |
honors, who were ineligible last season,
but who will try for berths this year.
With such a wealth Of good material with
which to build a team, another laurel
should be added to the football wreath
at Tech.
