FACULTY ADVISERS
TO OTALKFOOTBALL

High school faculty athletic advis-
ers will consider the proposition Of
putting q weight limit on football
teams here for the scholastic series
(next fall at q meeting scheduled to-
morrow night.
The idea has been broached before,
but has never been taken up seriously
by the advisers. During the last f-ot-
ball campaign three Of the high schools
50 far outclassed the others a. to
make the games too one-sided-
On one occasion one Of the stronger
high school elevens placed an entire
second team in the game against an
other school and won handiIy.
The proposition to come before the
advisers resolves itself into q consid-
GRAFTON Of having q limit Of 13o or 135
pounds for all nve high schools. which
| would include the new junior high
school
In addition q championship series
between the Central, Western and
Technical High Schools could be keld,
with Eastern and Business partsci-
pating IL their teams measured up in
standard with the others.
No attempt will be made to ex-
clude any of the schools from partici-
patton in the big games. AZ q matter
of fact the Central-Tech, Cen'ral-
Western, and Tech-western games
! were the only contests outside of the
Business Eastern game which were at
all closely contested.
Western, Central and Tech ran away
with the others by scores of anywhere
| from % to IS point margins- two
years ago Central gained q record Of
100 to o against Business.
According to the present scheme
Business. Central Eastern. Western
and Tech are to be asked to send into
the high school series teams averag-
ing 130 or 135 pounds.
In addition the larger schools Will
have representative teams to compete
with each other for the Champion
ship. Eastern. with but one hundred
boys, Business with few more and
Western with about three hundred are
competing at present with practically
no facilities for football in the way
OF playing fields against Central and
Tech.
There are twenty-six hundred stu
dents at Central Of which considerably
more than q thousand are boys. Tech
has more than nine hundred boys and
In numbers these schools are all out
Of proportion to the others.
In addition to the consideration Of
the football proposition II 10 expected
that basketball matters viii be set

Every one of this backfeld quartet

ately anywhere.

Sixteen Field Goals
In Long Record.

Sixteen field goals have been
kicked in the annual service

In 1906 Northcroft, the big
Navy tackle, kicked two place
ment goals against the dough-
boys, one from the 48 and one
from the 80 yard line.

kicker in the history of football
at Annapolis, dropkicked a goal
from the 35-yard line in 1910
and repeated the trick the next
year.
Then came five field goals by
Babe" Brown, the big guard.
He place-kicked two in 1912,
from the 36 and the 25 yard
lines, and in 1913 he got three,
