By "BUCK" HOWARD.

Ted Coy, full back, captain, and head
coach while at Yale, and who is univer-
sally regarded as one of the greatest
football players the country has ever
known, may lend helping hand to the
eleven at Western High School next fall
in that he is a personal friend to Kort-
wright Church, who has been associated
with the West Enders for the last two
years.
Coy and Church attended Yale about
the same time, and were brought to-
gether while at work on the gridiron,
and because of the fact that none Of the
schools will be in a position to obtain
the services of the former Yale coach,
he will in all probability find few
spare moments to help his old school
mate and football companion while en-
gagged in business in the city next fall.
In the event that Western is fortunate
enough TO land a bit of Coy's attention
during the next scholastic football cam
paign, this school will have the greatest
coaching staff in the history of football
in the District schools
With the selection of Joe Wise to
lead the Business eleven next fall, all of
the schools except Eastern have made
their choice in this respect. There seems
TO be quite a little shakeup at the Capt.
toll Hill Institution, and this is the cause
of it's delay. After the controversy is
settled an election will take place. Frank
Greer will probably be the next Eastern
CAPTAIN, although Clark and Dyer are
slated as contenders for the choice
There will be a new event in the
scholastic spring meet this year In that
of the high hurdles which has never
been in the list of entries before in the
I'm view Central has been rehearsing IN
this department and appears to have two
CAPABLE men in Galloway and Unlisted.
With these men showing to advantage
Central is so far the only school who is
well fortified in the new acquisition.
Things are surely breaking tough at
Western these days. During the past
few DAYS three OF its captains have
been eliminated in the various branches
of sport, Roger, Brewer, and Jones, lead
ers of the football, track and basketball
teams respectively.
Rover and Jones have left the classy !
west end institution with other possibili- |
ties in view, while Brewer failed to come |
I'D to the standard in his school work. |
This is a severe blow TO Western, as all
Of these men were stars in their own
department and their loss will be felt to
no small degree.
Basketball is the only sport in which |
a captain will be elected in the near
future and there seems to be little doubt I
but what Jack Adams, the lad who
proved the star of the scholastic football
series recently closed, will receive the
honor. AS far as the track and football
teams are concerned nothing will be done
at present because there are slight pos
sibilities that Roger will return to school
next fall in time to play football and
also that Brewer will be able to make
UP his work by the time the semester
marks are recorded.
The Eastern High School Basketball
Team has so far failed to show any real
class, and unless something unexpected
occurs there seems to be little chance for
the Capitol Killers to figure in the race
for supremacy in the midwinter sport.
Joe Wise who was recently elected
captain of the 1914 Business High School
Football Team, will make a very capable
leader for the stenographers, and should
a prominently in the series next
year Wise is a very clever linesman
and his work this fall was a big factor
in the accomplishments of the Business
eleven.
Over at Western a general assembly
will be held the early part Of the week
in order to award the members of their
crack little football team the coveted let
ter for their excellent showing on the
gridiron this fall. Speeches will be made
by Messrs. Morse and Church, the teams
coaches, and also by Capt. Brady, who
was one OF the most aggressive players
