Glowing Prospects Held Forth
for This Season by Coach
Green's Youngsters.
By BRYAN MORSE.

In the middle OF November, 1910. at
American League Park. younSster
named fluffy" Crane. one Of the
players of Cathedral School, succeed
ed drop kicking ball from
the 47-yard line against Eastern
High School. Eastern won by 20
5, but from that moment Cathedral
was known as a factor in schoolboy
athletics in Washington. Since then
the teams coached by George Green
have always given the other school
teams all they have been looking for
il. all branches of sports.
Last year the Cathedral forces fall
ed to marshal a football team. but
glowing prospects are held forth this
season even though there are few
veterans with which to build an elev-
en-. A larger school and increased
facilities would indicate that a cred
table eleven will be put in the field.
Several players of known ability
are lined up with the Blue and White
squad and a schedule which includes
Eastern. Western. Fredericksburg.
Army and Navy Prep, the Gilman
Country School, and the Boys Latin
d
a thorough test for their favorites.
There are several players from the
city. among them being 'Cntz" Brew
er. who played for Western last year;
Worth Daniels. son of Secretary Dan
iels, who was at Western last year:
King Hollyday, son of Admiral Holly
day; Bunch" Howden. son of Bishop
Howden; Van Sternberg. Billy North
rup, and Teddie Claybourne, last year
at Army and Navy Prep. and mem
Der of the football and track teams
of that school.
Paul. Mimi. is being tried out at center.
King Hollyday and Bunch Howden
are fighting it out for the guards posi-
tions with Van Sternberg. "Highbrow
March, a former Western High athlete.
and Fats Carey. a Baltimore young
ster, are in the tackles POSITIONS. On
the ends Worth Daniels and Teddy
Claybourne are making a creditable
showing.
Billy Northrup is taking care of the
quarterback position Three players
who are sure to be heard Of before the
season is over are Dunlap Castle. who
halls from Chicago, along with Gray
City lad. looks like a find for end or
half. Tiny Holmes is expected to ca
pably hold down the fullback position
and seems to have something on the
other boys when 1t comes to puntinS.
Cathedral was out of the running last
year, but bids fair TO come back strong
for the honors this season For the
first time In several years there ~
enough material to keep the youngsters
lighting for their positions.
Each high school has been seen in ac-
ton this year. and, while the early
games tend to show nothing more than
a line on the material. it IS evident that
the coaches are building up a defense
at the expense of the offense as was
the case last year. Not since sylvan
Kings Central eleven of two years ago
has there been scoring machine Ca
pable of sustaining any sort of attack.
In the football series last year none
of the scores were large enough In any
of the games to show marked superior
ity So far Business has been able Ia
score two touChdowns. Tech has gotten
one Western one and Central was hcl'i
TO a scoreless tie. This would seem 10
indicate a greater strength on defcnse
as none of the teams have been scored
against.
An intercepted forward pass by Eva
Fuller in the western Alexandra nlsh
game yesterday turned the tide III Ia
vor of the Red and White. western mas
no attack to speak OF. out Mas yirg;,,i, :,
on defense partly because the Nlrsinld
Youngsters were outweighed. Last year
western showed to better advantage on
defense. and this year appears bet'cr IN
this department
There are number Of new names on
the business lineup this season. o De
sure the Wise boys are there in Almost
full force, but Keeche, Richerts: Pos,
tails, Gladstone. Lynch. and Mcdonald
are among the newcomer.
D., Uia> ub "a DfaipinC the Blsi
ness team. Is demonstrating the ABILITY
manifested last year. Wise was ac-
counted one of the best players de-
veloped last year. He IS now Dcins
played at halfhaCk this year. BUSINESS
is MISSING Harry Harris TINS season
and IL will bc a long time before any
of the high schools nut out player OIL
the Harris type.
Jack Adams, Westerns majnstay OF
last season in the line has decided not
to enter Georgetown. but will take up
work in the West. Adams made the
hll-High team at tackle, and was star
in baseball, basketball. and track.
So far the forward pass has PLAYED no
important part in tho attack OF the va
riosus teams In tho Central-GeorSe-
town Prop contest the pass went wror"
several times None Of the teams have
hrcn alb" t" f"rk 1t sucC"ssfuilN 8"
