High Schools to
Start Real Work
Five Gridiron Clubs VIII Get
Down TO Practice with
Schools Opening.
GOSSIP OF AID ELEYENs


With the opening OF school tomorrow,
football in the high schools win be
inaugurated in fun when Western and
Eastern are scheduled TO take the field.
Technical Central and Business have
managed to get the jump on these two
rivals, having started festivities the
middle OF last week.
In taking a glance at various school
squads, It again looks as IL Tech is in
the Possession OF more veteran material
than any Of its opponents, and with
Coach Wayne Hart at the helm, right
now II can be said that the Manuel
Trainers win be heard from again this
season. Business comes next with the
return of veterans, while Western, Cen
tral and Eastern are confronted with
the difficult proposition Of building up
formidable eleven around one or two
old men.
The work OF Hank KimbalI. the new
Eastern mentor, viii be Watched with
interest in that he halls from Penn State
with an enviable reputation as an all
around athlete. KimbalI was obtained
largely through the efforts of Bob
Whitney, formerly of Eastern and later
captain and tar pitcher OF Penn State.
However, Kimball lis TO start work at
Eastern at quite a disadvantage, with
only two veterans, Captain Clarke and
Reilly, OF last years team.
With the entrance OF Ralph Wise TO
Business, that school will have enrolled
four Of the Wise family at the same time
II the last member OF the family ac-
complishes as much for Business as Joe,
to make the rest of the schools sit up
and take notice.
A few days ago II was announced in
these columns that Stearns and Roger
would be lost to Western in favor or
Episcopal High School, but the Red
and White troubles do not end here,
as II has been learned that Bronson
and Lawrence Grayson are to
their work at Western.
Grayson was one of Westerns main
stays in the line last fall, and gave
promise to develop into one OF the best
forwards ever turned out in the scholastic
circles Of Washington, and that his place
on the red and white eleven will be hard
to fll goes without saying.
Grayson Is to continue his preparatory
course at Woodberry Forest School, at
Orange, Va -,.r
Howard has forged to the front in
scholastic circles through his efforts on
the diamond, and has decided to enter
Tech in completing his high school
course Howard is a first baseman. and
will Mt in nicely On the Manual Trainers
ball club next spring.
On the form displayed by ochstadt last
iaH in the back field. Central seems to
have a capable man on which to build
most of its attack. Ochstadt was only
seen in the last two games. but during
that time showed promise of developing
into a star of the first water. That he
will be bne OF the maInstays in the o |
streeters lineup this fall goes without |
layfng.
Gene" Ochsenreiter Is the one best ]
bet at Tech. For the last two years he |
mas displayed exceptional ability in the |
back field for the Manuel Trainers and |
I has been predicted by many that Och |
'enreiter would some day be a college |
'tar II his desires tend to entering col
ege.
Harry Harris, formerly of Business
High, and one of the best all around |
athletes ever turned out of the District |
is among the candidates for the /
Dean Academy football team in Franklin,
Mass. There seems to be little doubt 4
,ut what Harris will land a berth on
he football team at Dean in view OF
he fact that while performing in the
scholastic circles here his work was OF
he highest caliber and he looked to be
'oming star.
Frank Greer, the Jim Thorpe OF the
Eastern High School football teams for
he last two years, will leave this week
or Phillips Exeter, where he will tend to
omplete his preparatory course with ex-
,ectations Of entering Yale next fall.
ireer was the backbone Of the Eastern
leven and that he will give a good ac-
exeter is generally conceded.
Fuller. who has for the past two years
erformed creditably on the Western
ootbau team. has returned from the
.driondacks in good condition. and is
onfdent Of having another successful
eason on the gridiron. Fuller Is some
Ehat light, but makes up for this IN
peed and general knowledge Of the
anne.
Candidates for the football team at
[. Adams will be called out by Coach
Ireen Tuesday. From all reports there
J an abundance of new material for the
oming year, and the Episcopalians ex-
ect to forge to the front in the scholast-
circles. Prominent among the new
andidates are Castle. who has shown
lass in the scholastic ranks in Chicago;
tubbs. from Highland Park, Illinois,
nd Klees from Reading, Pa.
"UntZ" Brewer has returned to the
ity after a stay at Coach Green's camp
! Minnesota, and declares he is in tip
,p shape and ready for another success
II season on the gridiron. 5
