START UP
REAL GRID GRIND

Scholastic football will start in
real earnest next week when the
first games are scheduled. Central
High School had an engagement with
Baltimore City College today, but
the contest was postponed until later
in the season. None Of the scholastic
squads are ready for battles as yet,
owing to the late start and the fact
that many candidates will not be
back until the first OF the month.
All of the scholastic teams are
harder hit than usual this season,
and have been forced to open their
campaigns with almost all green
players. OF the prep schools George
town. St. Adams, and the Army and
Navy props are ready for a real start
next week.
The high schools here have been
at work during the past week. but
have marked time until re-enforce-
ments have arrived. Material is I'M
usually good but inexperienced. &C
cording to the coaches. While many
OF the players of last season are out
this year it is thought that the teams
will be quite up to standard.
Business High School has voted to
continue football, and will start right
in on real work Monday. DR.. Dor
man. coach OF the team. plans in
tensive work for every boy at Bust
ness, and those who are not out for
football will have to take some other
form OF training.
1t was reported that football would
be abolished al Business for the
duration OF the war. The Stenog
raphers had a hard time getting up
baseball team last spring. While
prospects for a first-class football
team are not particularly bright
other teams at the school should
measure up to standard.
Frank Newberry will handle the
Army and Navy Prep eleven again this
season. The school is full up. ac-
carding to Coach Newberry. The
Props have hardly had time to get
going on account OF the military
drill. Coach Newberry says he ex-
poets to put in only about an hour a
day on the football team.
Military drill will play a most i'm
poTtant part in the physical training
OF the boys in the schools here this
fall, and few of the coaches viii have
time for extended football practice.
As all the schools will do the same
things there will be no particular
hardship on any eleven.
