BY BRYAN MORSE.

Eastern High School appears TO
be hardest hit Of all the local scho-
lastic elevens in the matter Of fail
ure of star athletes to return to
school this fall. The Capitol Hill
lads have lost an entire backfeld,
counted upon to carry the team
through this season.
Ray Clarke, Joe Baldwin, Goebel,
Horne, Flaherty, Roddy, and McEl-
hannon will be the missing this sea-
son, according to Coach S. T. Kim
bel. The Eastern eleven came
through. with two wins and two
losses in the championship games
last year, setting back Western and
Central with gritty eleven. This
year Coach Kimbel is confronted
with the task of whipping an entire
ly new team into shape for the
games.
While Eastern is laid low Tech comes
nearest to dropping a number which
will cut into the strength Of the team.
The Manual Trainers lost Steed. Sup
plee. Gibson. Hardell. Young. Rooney
and Mccarthy. These players were
Techs mainstays last seasfon and

Coach White will be ready to start the
season with practically the same eleven
which went through the mill last year.
Western has lost Fuller. Durant. For

Coach Kimbel Is Of the opinion that
Eastern will have to develop nightly
this year to make up for the losses
sustained.
Coach Paul White has taken up the
reins at Business with a number of
good men held over from last season.
Eleven veterans are on hand and more
than twenty prospects loom up as pos

With the opening Of the schools
both Central and Tech found many
more reporting who had not been in
the preliminary work outs BY tho
and practically ali OF the preparatory
schools will be In action. The George
town Preps under Harry Kelley and
Billy Martin are alread working out.
St. Adams gets action today and tho
Army and Navy Prep eleven will make
some headway In q short time when
Coach Newberry calls his team out
Episcopal High School representatives
games and arranged contest with
Western. The Episcopal mon want an
early season game. preferably this
week. Central will play Tome on &c.
tober 2. which is the first battle to be
recorded unless business or Tech
want to take on Episcopal this week.
Tennis Is recognized In one Of the
high school at present and there is
every prospect that Tech and Central
Will put the sport on the regular cur
riculum. The Georgetown Props, St.
Adams. and Western are the only
schools in the city which have reeu-
lar representative teams recognized
by the schools. Central had n fine
team last year. as did Tech. and there
seems to he an indication that these
schools will recognize their tennis
teams.
