COYOTES OR
 HAS BEEN?
High School Football De velops to Stage Where Squad Calls Alumni Some Names and Alumni Re ciprOcates Heartily

The spirit of rivalry between the two warning factions of the high school. the alumni and the Coyotes is growing daily and is fast reaching that point where there is liable to be clash of some kind, with disastrous results There are crowds on the streets and in all gathering places that consider the probable results of the game daily, and there are conferences and dOpefestS where the best of the dOpesters spend their time in trying to figure out just which team has the best of the argu- ment.
 The high team, the Coyotes, has been on the field every night since the op- ening of the school, and even before the formal time of the opening there were several practices of the squad held in vacant lots. They have been drilled under the careful care of Coach Gearv in all the elementary points of the game, such as tackling tactics, falling on the ball, breaking interference and blocking in the line till they are at that point where team work and plays can be imparted to them. They will be taught to run with the ball, to tackle in the line, to break up a defense, and
  and will be drilled into what may be termed semi university football team, to quote the words of the coach, in the next week or so. Then the final work of rounding out the plays that will be used against the alumni will be started.
 But while the Coyotes have been do- ing all this the alumni have not been just watching. They have been on the Polk street grounds two evenings out of the week. and one afternoon. and their coach, William HOrreI, has been grinding into them the principles of the new game and sitting out of their systems the instincts of the old one. Horrell says that he will have the team of the state in the alumni, if he can make them play the game as it should be played under the present rules, and he is confident that he has the required stuff, the speed and the weight to make up a winning team.
 The first of the games between the alumni and the Coyotes and there will be at least two and perhaps three. will be played on October II, at either the Grant street or the East Lake Park grounds. There is, therefore but little time for the teams to perfect their mechanism and get into the condition
 
 fast game
 In this respect the Coyotes have the best of the has-be for they will have several picked games before the date of the big match On the coming Thursday and Friday the teams of the classes Of the high will meet for the championship of the schools, and in | these games all the first team and squad men will participate. As further conditioning game there will be play ed on the first Saturday of the com ing month game between the two best teams that Coach Geary can pick, with officials on the field, and with regular time for the quarters. In these games. the Coyotes will have a chance to try out al first hand the rules for the year. and to place themselves in that Dhvsi- cal condition where they will be able to stand as much or more that the has beens, whose only advantage according to Geary is their age
 This game between the alumni and the Coyotes is also the occasion for the first of the alumni-high social functions of the year and is expected to usher in a series of like events which Will last through out the season. On the evening of the game. a banouet will be held at which time all members of the alumni organization will enter tain the Coyotes team either as a ceIe- pration of victory or dirge over the remains of the visitors
 And this is the argument now, which bothers the minds of all true fans which will it be for each team. ceIebra- tion or drowning of sorrows? All of which will be settled on October II.
