Manual places one, with Hogskin, at
center, as does Brooklyn Prep, with
Smith, at right halfback. Owing to his
experience and the crafty manner in
which he handled the Clinton team this
year, the captaincy Of the first team is
awarded to Galbraith.
On the second team Erasmus Hall has
four boys, followed by Poly Prep with
three, Hamilton Institute and Flushing
two each.
A survey Of the ability Of the first
team follows: Bach and McRea, the
two ends, have been pronounced by
many as fleet pair in getting down
under punts and are gifted with an
ability to catch forward passes from
any angle with accuracy. As punt
crs each has few equals among the
local schoolboys. In the selection for
the places they had close contenders
in both Davis and Sadler, who are
placed on the second team.
Harms and Hess, the tackles, are re-
liable men who can be counted upon to
oper up holes for their backfield men.
On the defense they have broken

guards, are fine specimens Of
schoolboy football players, big and
strong and sure tacklers. Lewis
played remarkably we'll for Clinton
during the last season, for which he
was unanimously elected captain Of
next years eleven.
Hogskin, the center, from Manual
Training, has shown some fine snap
ping back of the ball for his team dur
ing the season, and has been as cool
and deliberate in close quarters as a
cake Of ice. He is a shifty player,
and often has furnished fine interfer-
cnce for the RUNNER with the ball.

Wilde Impressed
Critics of Boxing,
Despite His Defeat

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.--Although deci-
sively beaten by Jack Sharkey, of New
York, in his first fight in America,
Jimmy Wilde, the tiny Welshman,
made deep impression on the boxing
critics who watched his ten-round bout
at Milwaukee on Saturday niOit.
Outweighed by nearly ten pounds,
Wilde, who was fighting some five
pounds above his best weight, showed
marvellous skill at blocking and duck
ing as he evaded Sharkey's heavy blows.
The ease with which he slipped out Of
dangerous situations reminded on
lockers Of Jem Driscoll, the other little
Welshman.
But those who had heard countless
stories of the wicked punch possessed
by Wilde were disappointed because the
Welsh fyweight at no time came near
knocking out Sharkey, although at
times he stood close in and traded
blows with the New York Italian. A
vicious right cross was Wilde's best
punch and with this he frequently
scored.
The crowd at the Milwaukee bout did
not come up to expectations, the total
receipts figuring up to about $4,000,
of which Wilde drew down $1,000 and
Sharkey $4,000 The promoters had
figured on a $4,000 gate. Sharkey
weighed in at 116 and Wilde at 107
pounds.

Wladek zbyszko. the Polish Goliath,
and Joe Stecher, the worlds champion,
meet on the mat tonight at list Regi-
ment Armory, Thirty-fourth Street and
Fourth Avenue. The two giants are
trained to the second. There is a
glittering incentive for the victor. The
worlds title is the main attraction, and
the fact the men are wrestling on
winner-take- all basis is another mag
net that will force each to strive his
mightiest.
zbyszko is a giant in the full mean
ing of that word. Tall, built like
giant of old, he is endowed with power
that borders on the superhuman. And
the Polish Goliath is clever enough to
know how to take advantage of every
ounce Of his tremendous strength In
weight he will have about twenty-five
pounds advantage. This alone should
be valuable factor as the tussle pro-
crosses.
As for Stecher, he made such a mar
velous showing in his recent victory
over "Strangler" Lewis that his prowess
as champion is recognized by all.

powerful legs around the body Of an
opponent IL nothing less than amazing

caliber. However, the majority of the
players chosen were always in the
limelight during the seasons play.
The present year will go down in his
tory as banner one in the annals of
schoolboy competition.
Owing to its undefeated record
in seven contests, the Flushing a.
~ School proudly proclaims its
right to the championship of the CITY
of New York. This claim will un-
doubtedly be questioned by students
OF Brooklyn Poly Prep school and De
Witt Clinton, of Manhattan, which
elevens also made splendid records for
the season. However, it has been as
serted by many schoolboy football fol-
lowers that Flushing would have de-
feated both Poly Prep and Clinton had
their schedules brought them to-
gether.
In winning it's seven games, Flush
ing was scored on twice, once by the
New York University freshmen Tor 10
points and the other by Brooklyn Prep
in the last three minutes of play.
Flushing also had total of 1877 points
for the season, which is the largest
total recorded by any SCHOOL
De Witt Clinton was beaten by both
the Columbia freshman and White
Plains High School elevens on occa-
sions when the Clinton team was
minus the services of several of it's
best players. Clinton won the Manhat-
tan-Bronx championship, and in so do
ing was not scored upon by Stuyvesant
Morris and Commerce., against which
teams it tailed 1O3 points.
Failed to Heed Challenge
Many followers of school sports con.
tend that the manager of the Poly Prer
eleven picked "easy things" for his
charges, and that while the Poly eleven
is strong one, it failed to test its
real strength against the top-notch
teams. When Poly Prep was arrang-
ing Its schedule Flushing requested a
date. 1t was granted, but three days
afterward, according to Smith Afford,
the Flushing coach, Poly Prep can
celled the contest.
Brooklyn Prep, which also compiled
an impressive record during the season
which included victories over Prince
ton Prep and St. Josephs School, o1
Philadelphia, challenged Poly Prep, fo,

''Creasy" Neale
To Be Preacher

MARIETTA. Ohio, Dec. us
Greasy" Neale, outfielder for the
Cincinnati Reds, going to follow in
the footsteps of Billy Sunday? This
is the question now being discussed
by many people in Marietta, where
Neale is coach Of the Marietta Col
lege football team.
Men who have known GREASY"
from his Parkersburg High School
days don't remember that he showed
any startling religious propensities
at that time or even in later years
as coach of Muskingum or West
Virginia Wesleyan, where he was
often accused of dirty" coaching.
BE that as it may, the point is
that he now accepts invitations to
preach from the pulpit of local
churches and defiantly claims at
such times that his teams are sue
cessful because of his ardent pray
ers for victory. He also accredits
the Cincinnati Reds victory partly
to the same source.
Last Sunday evening Neale held
in intense interest a congregation
that taxed the capacity of the Rev.
John H. Gross's First Presbyterian
Church, this city, as he told how he
invoked divine inteYcession for his
team.

Beautiful Memorial Services.

A most fitting and beautiful tribute
was paid to the memory Of the late
Lieut.. Harry White Wilmer, 20 Aero
Squadron, A. E. F., who gave his life
for hfs country in action over ArRonne
Forest on October 10, 1918, in the shape
Of memorial which was held in
Christ Episcopal Church in this town,
on Friday last beginning at II A. NJ.
The services were presided over by
Bishop Harding Of this Episcopal
Diocease, who delivered a beautiful
and glowing tribute to the American
men and women who took part in the
recent war. After. his address which
was listened to with attention and APP
probation he introduced Canon De
vries who like the Bishop, paid a
glowing tribute to the noble and cour-
ageous spirit Of the men and women Of
America and paid a most beautiful
and appropriate tribute to the young
hero in whose memory the services
we're being held, he having known
Lieut. Wilmer personally.
Long before the hour for the services
the church was filed with relatives and
friends of the dead Lieut. who knew
him SO we'll in life, he having been born
and raised near this town where he
spent his entire life until reaching
manhood. Young Wilmer, when the
war broke out between Germany and
the Allies, Joined Canadian regiment
and saw active service at the front,
being one Of the victims OF the huns
shells, having been wounded in the
shoulder by shrapnel. He was sent to
hospital for treatment Of bis wounds
and afterwards honorably discharged
from the service. He then came home
and when this country declared war
against Germany he Joined the U. S.
Aeronautic Corps, and again saw ac-
tive service which resulted in his death.
He is the son of Gen. l.. Allison
Wilmer of ST. Mary,s County and
brother of Mr.. J. Carlisle Wilmer of
this county. He always enjoyed the
highest respect and esteem Of everyone
in this county who knew him and his
many friends while regretting his un-
timely death, yet rejoice that he died
glorious death in the service of his
country, displaying all the courage
and bravery Of true and noble
American and Marylander.
The church was lavishly decorated
with palms and flowers with large
cross oflillies in the chancel, the gift
of relatives in honor of his memory.
Over the chancel hung a large gold
star efnblemamtic OF
