FIRST FOOTBALL ACCIDENT.
Iere Burke of Goddard Eleven Breaks
Collarbone in Practice.

Football practice at Goddard seminary
Yesterday afternoon was marred with
the first accident reported in football
circles this season. Jere Burke, one OF
the most promising candidates OF the
Goddard squad, was the victim OF
broken colIarbone Yesterday Coach
Hoernle issued summons for candi-
dates when about thirty promising
Youngsters gathered on the campus, the
initial work consisted principally OF oral
instructions. Towards the close OF the
afternoons work the players, somewhat
limbered, engaged in little scrimmages,
Burke was running with the ball when
tackled by one of his fellow students
Although he did not strike the ground
heavily, the fall was OF such nature
as to cause great pain. Coach Hoernle
Immediately realized the nature OF his
injury and the youngster was carried to
a nearby physician, who determined that
his collarbone has received serious
fracture. He will be unable to play
football during the remainder of the
season. The loss of Burke viii be
keenlv felt as he was one of the most
promising linemen in the squad. 1t IS
not expected that the elite football ma
terial Of the seminary will be numbered
among the candidates for about ten
davs. Manager Benjamin King intends
TO open the season about the last week
in October.

THEIR PURSUIT
Germans Make Stand on Heights North
of Aisne River-Retreat Between
Meuse and Argonne.

Paris, Sept l6.-The official eommu-

the battle line, except to say that the
allied armies are in close cortact with
the Germans everywhere, and that the
forward movement continues between the

Carranza set forth that the presence Of

The Mexican chief contended-and he

HIGH SCHOOL HAS
451 STUDENTS

Have 2,o32, Slightly More Than

Barre's school registration promises 10
be larger this year than ever before.
Figures at hand from the registrations
in the various graded school buildings
are furnished The Times by Supt. u. M.

enrolled in the grades, total slightly
in excess of the total on the opening gay
last year. To this number will be added
some 80 or 40 pupils who are to be en-
rolled later. BY grades the enrolment
il as follows: Grade B, 277; grade A,
2l7; grade 2, PAS; grade 3, 242; grade I,
22o; grade 5, 2l9; grade 6, 225; grade I,
200 grade s, III.
An entering class OF 207 establishes
another record at Spaulding high school.
In the upper school alone there are 9ai
students. or considerably more than had
been anticipated. Because OF the abb
sence of many students, who are away
at the mountains or elsewhere, an aver
age enrolment for the present year in
the high scchool cannot be compiled, but
it is confidently expected that the total
registration for the entire city, which IS
now 2483. will be increased somewhat
within fortnight. The effects OF the
summer continuation school are to be
seen on all sides, as numerous children
who were not qualified to make their
grades in June have been promoted tins
fall as a result of close application while
the summer school was in session.

This is encouraging news to come at

George T. Whitney, agent of the mills,
