start October p. The schedule for next
fall was worked out yesterday. and ii
was decided that the date mentioned
would be early enough to begin the con-
tests. The first meeting will take place
between Business and Tech.
The games appear to be. well arranged
as far as advantages or disadvantages
for certain teams are concerned There Is
the possible exception that Western with
It's weak material of last fall, will he
showed to a little more than its limit in
it's first contest The second game of the
series will be played between Western
and Central, and it will tax Western tc
its greatest extent to make the right KIND
of showing. 'The same will be an ad
vantage for Central in that it will give
the Blue and White players chance t.
get their footing against an eleven thai
is not likely to be quite up to its stand
ard.
Just which will be the hard and which
the easy contest is hard to tell now be-
cause of the fact that failures to pass ex
aminatiOnS often make the greatest differ
ence in the strength of the elevens: Based
though. on what was shown last fall, and
the fact that it will have nearly all il:
men back. Technical should have the
strongest squad. with Business or Contra
next. If that happens to be the case. it /:
reasonable to suppose that the games II
which these three teams figure agains
one another will be the hardest fought.
The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday. October ~ Business VS.. Tech

There is a probability that the mem
bers Of the Central High School foo
ball team will turn themselves into q
crew this summer. All the candidate:
for the eleven next fall have applied fol
permission to train under Coach Heco'
of the Technical High eight. After 9
conference between him and the coach
of the foot ball team at Central it was
decided that the boys from the Blue and
White institution be allowed to take vi
the regular course Of training with the
Tech aggregation.
1t will depend on the number of boys
that come out as to whether or not Cen
trail will have crew Of its own. 1T was
stated by Coach Hecox of Technical HlSn
this morning that if sufficient number
of men reported for the training. and
they developed fairly WELL they would
probably represent Central IN the -Amerl-
can Henley next spring.
The main idea in having the Contra
foot ball candidates report for work II
the crew is to get them in good condition
to start foot ball this fall. 1t is thought
that the work they will get with tn,
oars will develop them to such an exten
physically that they will be of muci
greater value in the lineup OF an eleven
There has been much comment at diff
ferent times as to whether or not crew
work was valuable for foot ball player
Many reasons have been given as to why
1t is and as many others have been stated
as to why it is not. There is little doubt
that rowing tends to over-deVe!op the
leg muscles to a certain extent, thereby
making man little slower as run
ner but it also develops the other parts
of the body to Such an extent that much
benefit is received. Particularly would
this be true in the instance of a boy who
was under-developed in his arms and
shoulders. 1t is a matter of very favor
able comment that the greatest foot bal
team that Technical High School ever
had received its physical development in
a crew. Ellis. Brewster, Spencer. Hart
and two or three other members of the
best eleven that has yet represented one
of the local high schools received their
development in an eight-oarded shell
each of them pair of oars. and they
were the manStayS of an eleven which
swept things in scholastic circles by big
scores.
The following games are scheduled in
the amateur leagues today:
Capital City League. North Capitol and
l. streets ENTHUSIASTICALLY VS.. Bank
ers
Central. 1st and NJ stress northeast
G
Departmental, White Lot-Open.
East Washington, 18th and ID streets
northea VS.. ST. Agnes.
Federal, Grant Circle and Cpshur street
Pension Bureau VS.. Takoma.
Eastern, 18th and d streets southeast
YaniganS VS.. AVOndaleS.
Railroad, 9Th street and Florida avenue
northeast-Open
Northwest Sunday School. Georgia ave-
nue. and Kenyon street-Immanuel Baptist
VS. Calvary Methods.
Treasury, White Lot-Hydros VS.. Print
ers.
Marquette Both street and Wisconsin
avenue-Medicos VS. st. Joseph.
1t is very probable that Huntemann and
Posey, the two substitute tackles of the
Maryland Aggies' eleven, will be given Il
chance to show their ability with the
oars and at the same time improve their
physical development with the idea of u.s.
ing them regularly in the tackle positions
this fall Huntemann is sure to take up
rowing and there is every likelihood that
Posey will handle pair OF sweeps.
