POOR FOOTBALL TEAM AT NORTHEAST,
WHILE CLASS REIGNS AT CENTRAL
Coach Johnson Greatly Handicapped by Lack of Good
Gridiron Material-Crack Players in Central
High School Squad

AIoRTHEAsT HIGH SCHOOL. appar-
IN emily is due for the poorest football
season In years. Not only is the material
below form, but hard luck. scholastic de-
hciency and the failure Of promising ma
terial to report for the team has placed
the Red and Black in such a position
that 1t seems like an impossibility for
Coach Dutch" johnson to develop a
team that can make a creditable show
ing against Central High in the annual
battle this fall.
Not more than 30 candidates reported to
Johnson at the start of the season, and
at the present time he has not enough
candidates on the field to have two teams
for scrimmage without using ineligible
and injured players in the scrub lineup.
with the hardest part of the schedule
approaching, Johnson had but % men out
In uniform yesterday afternoon. OF this
number five were ineligible for the team
because they are back in their studies,
while two others are regulars who have
been on the crippled list.
johnson is facing discouraging condi-
tions in his first season as a coach. He
was a great quarterback as a schoolboy
and collegian and only the presence of
Stevenson at Penn kept him from being
the varsity quarterback, as he was con-
sidered by far better than several men
who held regular positions on big college
elevens in 1904 and 1905.
Dutch" knows football and is a good
teacher. but he can hardly be expected to
turn out first-class team under present
conditions. At the start Of the season
Northeast's prospects were bright de-
spite the small number of candidates,
but eight regulars have been taken from
Johnson through Injuries or ineigibfiity
- Yerlfes.sthes regular after back, .Carri-
man and Hickey, the two best ends in
the squad, and Jenners and Hardin, THE
two best backs, were declared Ineligible
by the faculty because they have fallen
below the required mark in studies, while
Lightly and Bell, second string ends. and
Fullback Bell are out Of the game with
injuries, They have little chance OF re-
turning to the team for the balance of
the season. a3s..a. s,
At the present time Thomas and Whit
aker are the only experienced and de-
pendable boys in the squad. Thomas is
recognized as one of the best tackles in
Eastern scholastic circles, while Whitaker

ELS FOOTBALL HOPES
VANISH WITH LOSS OF
LEG0RE AND MATES
Yale Stars Admit Receiving
Compensation for Playing
Baseball and Are Barred
From Athletics
OTHERS MAY BE OUSTED

Yale's last hope for victory over Prince
ton and Harvard apparently vanished
with the announcement that Harry Le-
gore. generally recognized as the great
est fu;lback in the country. had been bar
red from further competition in athletics
at Yale because he had received COM
pensation for playing baseball last sum-
mer for Long Island hotel team.
Coach Hinkey's road was a hard one
with a green line and only fair backfield
material, and the loss OF Legore is a
climax to a season Of poor luck. That
Legore and four Of his teammates were
guilty of accepting expenses and board,
contrary to the amateur code, is admitted
in a statement signed by all and sent to
Prof. Robert Corwin, chairman OF the
Yale Athletic Association.
This is not the nrst time that Legore's
amateur standing has been questioned.
When he was at Mercersbufg Academy
Lawrenceville protested against his play
ing in the annual game on the grounds
that he had accepted compensation for
playing with the Maryland Athletic Club
on its transforming trip through the Mid
die Atlantic and New England States, but
these charges fell fiat
Since that time Legore apparently has
been a strict amateur, although he played
with the Maryland Athletic Club in games
at Cape May, Wildwood, Atlantic City
and Ocean City last summer. .4
Legore has a wonderful reputation as
a ball player, but 1t was his gridtron
ability which was appreciated most by
Yale. Several major league. teams had
offered Legore contracts at his own
terms and Manager Mack. of the Ath-
letics. is said to have offered him 5000
year for two years, but he declined to
talk business with professional teams un-
til after he had been graduated from
Yale
