winners NJ the league championship b
reason OF their victory over Central Hg
yesterday and points out the fact tina

coach.
Northeast High now has the it'll
cllnched and could lose to West Phla
delphia and still be the champ. ons" h
said. "Rohert Dunn, the former playe
and captain and now coach of the eleven
turned out very fine team. The only
team that approaches them in ability 4.
the Glrard College squad West Phila
detpha is now sure OF second place. Had
Central High won :.om Northeast sec.
ond place would be in doubt"
In referring to Central Highs team
work Coach Vail said:
Central Higf had some dandy soccer
material 1t is too bad they did not have
a regular coach Cleary, who came to
Central from Frankford High, did what
he 'orld to instruct the players. But 1t
was team without a coach, and North
cast high showed to advantage yester-
day because the players we're better pre-
pared for tho struggle"
Coach Vail suggested that the private
schools get together and form an In
teracademic Soccer Association He
pointed ou' that such schools as Friends
Select. Germantown Friends School.
Germantown Academy. Chestnut Hill
Academy, Episcopal Academy, st. Lukes
School and Haverford should get to-
gether and organize a league All have
soccer teams this season.
Episcopal Academy athletes are show
ing UP well in soccer. Comey, Lathrop,
Price and Hazlett, of the football squad,
are now winning additional laurels in
soccer competitions. Landreth, Schaf-
fer, Miller, Whiting, Frazier and Bum
are youngsters who will bear watching
this season. The Churchmen are show
Ing Improvement, and are by no means
discouraged by their defeat in the game
with Chestnut Hill yesterday.
Students at the Chestnut Hill Academy
had few surprises yesterday. when
Ludersen, Savage, Kingsley and Clark
performed some feats in the soccer game
with Episcopal. The manner in which
Kingsley and Savage passed the ball
down the field between them made a very
good impression upon Coach Fall of the
Killers. Kingsley kicked very pretty
goal from the 20-ya, mark Rometsch
Bailey. Van Peit. Woodward and Knowles
also did clever work.
Van Solver is the only member of the
Germantown Academy football squad of
''G" men who Is playing on the soccer
team. Perhaps 1t would be well If more
of the Mannheim warriors reported for the
squad. Germantown played its first
game with Germantown Friends yester-
day, losing by 5 to 0. c. Clothier, Visher, |
Beard Edmonds, Bachman and O'Connell |
all showed good form in the initial con- |
test.
Two captains, one soccer and the
other football. elected yesterday, helped
Germantown Friends TO the soccer VIC
tory over the Germantown eleven yes
terday. Z. Paul Patton the centre for
ward. was chosen to lead the 1916 foot
ball team. Leonard Carmichael, right

years -occer team. Wenerd, Harris,
Cowing. West Arndt, Bacon. Dodds,
Wood and Janney are working we'll to-
gether for G. F. S.
Frankford High School evidently favors
4 long season in cross-country. Few of
the high schools have cross-country
teams in training at this time, but
Frankford and Southern High still have
their men on edge for dual events.
Frankford lost race with Southern yes
terday. though Oliver Dudley was first
to finish, and his brother. II. Dudley,
was fourth. Moran, Strange, Grauer
and Battin qualified for Frankford. Bat
tersby, the star uptown runner, was un- ,
able to compete because of scholastic !
conditions.
