 With the call for football at windham high school thirty-f1ve of her boys re- sponded for practice Wednesday when the first scrimmage of the season was held Coach Buck Donohue is well pleased with the material he has to mould out an eleven with this year, as several of the regulars of 1920 are back, with one or two of the players who played part time. Other material that looks good has showed up at prac- | tice and the eleven will weigh heav- fer this season than last year, when it cleaned up most of the elevens of High ! Schools in this vicinity. The regulars back are, Shaun" Sullivan who is out | for quarter back, Floyd Davis at right half back. captain of this year,s eleven, ! Duffy Cornell at right end, Russell webster at left end. Russell Thompson at full back Blair Thompson at guard, and "Frenchy" Obernesser at half back l These men some of whom played sey- eral games last season promise well and with only four new men needed to complete an eleven Windham should put up a good game this year. In competi- tion with Sullivan for quarter back is Louis Rabinowitz, and Willard Shea is out for cester. The backs will average about one hundred and forty pounds and are fast on their feet. Only light prac- tce has been used up to today, but next a1r xxrilI ft,a haax arl- h0oriv and regulars will be chosen for the po- sitions Windham's first game is to be played out of town with the Vocational School of New London, snappy little eleven that has often given bigger elevens a run for a win.

 wich will turn out a snappy eleven this
 season but Windham has the jump or them by having more experienced ma

 to add to the 25 to defeat they hand
