fwhen the board of directors gather
the first part of January Handi-
boe's name will be put up for
manager.
! Last season Handiboe played sensa-
I tional ball. winning many a game with a
timely clout and saving several with
great catches. The fans in the Sally cir
cult town all swear by Al, and that he
| would have the backing OF the fans,
should he be placed in charge of the
club, is a well known fact.
Should Al take the reins, several local
boys would be slated for berths with the
club. among them Billy Marceron. the
hard hitting outfelder Of the Cornell
Tigers. Handiboe is sweet on Marceron.
and would welcome the chance to send
him out in professional baseball.
Ray Wise. the speedy little Business
High end. has been shifted to a half
back by Coach Farmer, and in the prac-
tice game yesterday with the Bliss
eleven played a rattling good game.
Wise is one Of the fastest boys in the
high schools. and can pick an opening.
BY sending Wise TO the back field, Coach
Farmer will have a pair of new. ends,
Barrett and Pedlow, to start the Tech
game next Tuesday, which will end the
scholastic series
In the Central game It was Wise who
made the longest run. a dash Of seventy
yards. and had II not been for a weak
hip, Ray would more than likely have
gone over the line for a touchdown. Last
year Wise played a couple of games in
the back field and looked rather good, but
owing to his Iightness Coach Farmer put
him on an end. His work will be watch
ed with interest in the Tech battle.
The Bliss Electrical School eleven was
defeated in a practice game by the Bust
ness team yesterday. l3 to 0. Coach
Farmer using about twenty men in the

Wood. Healy. Pedlow, Eaton and
Barrett and PedlOw will start the Tech

Ochsenreiter will prove to be the real
star OF the 1913 scholastic series, from
