New Years Day

The baseball prospects at Western High
School were considerably frightened
when it was learned that Bronson How
ard, the lad who played first base fol
the Red and White team last year, Is &c
resume his course at the West End insti'
tuition, in February, and will be can
didate for the ball club again this spring
Howard has been out of school during the
first half of the year with other posi-
hilities in view. but has decided 10 &c
back to Western and take up his work
where he left of.
'Brons' is a fine fielding first baseman
and a fair hitter and played a good. con-
sistent game for Coach Dave" Whites
crew last spring. beIHg picked by the
majority for a job on the all-high club
at the close of the series. That Howard
will add a lot of strength to the Western
outfit goes without saying, 80 just keep
an eye on the youngest member of the
Howard family in the coming campaign.
With the acquisition Of Howard. West
ern will have a fair inch Of veterans
TO serve as a nucleus In baseball and
with Capt. Stearns, Adams, PeytOn, and
Peck. the boys from across the creek
bid fair to figure in the race for the
title, the feat Western has accomplished
for the past four years.
The Business High School basket ball
te- will hook up with the Yankee quint
on New Years Day, at the Y. NJ C. A,
in what is expected to be a closely con-
tested game throughout and will serve
as the leading attraction in the athletic
program staged at the association on the
first day OF the year.

Western places that school in a state Of
athletic embarrassment. and his loss
probably will be felt more than is now
expected by the West Enders, but at the
same time Coach Green, of the Cathe-
dral School is more than fortunate in
landing the services OF a man who is as
capable as is the former Western star
Brewer is one of the best all-around
athletes seen in the local schools in many
a day. and he will undoubtedly be a big
asset to the TennallytOwn institution in
every branch of sport.
Western will elect a captain in track
in the near future to fill the honor left
vacant by the departure of Brewer, and
the selection probably will be between
StearnS and Donaldson, with the best
chances in favor of the latter, because
Stearns is captain of baseball and will
not be able to attend to both sports in
the spring. Donaldson has been a MEM
Der of the Western track team for the
last three years. and during that time
was seen in the dashes and the hurdles
helping the Westernites considerably in
the victory scored in the annual spring
meet last year.
Baldwin. the lad who was seen at left
half back for the Eastern eleven last
fall, is showing up to advantage, and at
this stage is the best basketball shot on
the squad.
The Western quint will be without the
services OF Jack Adams for the remain
ier OF the season, and with this occur \
ring the West Enders are left with but
me veteran from last year, in the per-
son of Nicolson, who plays a guard po-
sition. The loss OF Adams to the West
ern quint will considerably handicap
hem in that branch, but will prove
zig advantage to the ball club in the
spring, in view of the fact that the big
,itcher probably will be more effective
n the box II he is allowed to rest UP
'or a few weeks after his strenuous ef-
'orts on the gridiron, at which time he
was the star of the series.
