TEAM HAS HEAVY SCHEDULE
Three Games at HOme-FiVe Trips
,.Es5 for tho Boys

ID The football schedule for the
high school season has been ar
ranged with the exception Of Oct. 5
and q game will probably be played
with Cottonwood Falls that day, al
though nothing definite has been
decided, The opening game, OF the
season will be played here with the
team from the Junction City high
school. They have q strong squad
ut Junction but the locals have been
showing up great in practice the
last few nights and a good and fast
game is expected. The material
which was green the first Of the
season is whipping into shape under
the efficient coaching Of Mr.. White
and he will have a new style OF
football which will be altogether
new to the local followers of the
game.
With H. Little at fullback, and
Romberger, Eisenhower, H. Gish'
Hoffenal and Wilcox likely men for
the half positions, Abilene will
have formidable back field. Eisen-
hover is q good plunger, II. Gish
is fast on his feet and Little is q
good passer, which makes a combf-
nation that is hard to beat. l. Samp-
son and C. Sampson, brothers, are
showing up we'll on ends, l. Samp-
son having won his letter on right
end last year. P. Little and Van
Doren are rushing the Simpsons for
the end positions. Engle, Kreps, To-
Der, Elsie and ]. Robson are all
weighty men and are making a line
that will be hard to penetrate. Van
Doren is working at center and Will
cox is working out on a tackle posi-
ton. Abilene will rely on the line
Ilunging for her gains and will
steer clear Of the open game on Of
fensive. The seasons schedule is as
follows:
September "a, Junction City at
Abilene; October 8, Minneapolis at
Abilene: October Is, Abilene at
Junction City; October %, Abilene
at salina; october 81. Abilene at
