HIGH eRIDDERS
BOILED OUT IN
FIRST WORKOUT
Summer Heat Gives Boys Gssl
: Sweat-Up - Coach Kinnel
Directs Radineatary Drill.
BY sALBI AL.


phere, about thirty-five candidates |
for the high grid team responded |
to Coach Kimmel's clarion call for
the initial practice this fall.
About two hours Of hard, steady
work was put in and more than
one youngster was woefully con-
sidering the delight of playing
summer football before the session
was ovef.
Only the rudiments Of the game
were tried last night and this will
be all that will be done for about
week. The catching Of punts and
forward passes and a run Of twice
around the field were the main
features of the program.
The veterans agreed that last
nights workout was the hardest
for the initial night that they have
ever had.
Alnmni Game Sept. 1a
Although the schedule Is as yet
unfinished it is probable that the
alumni game will be held on Sept.
Is. This will give the Islanders
three weeks to get in condition for
the rest Of the season. By then
the locals will be in mid-season
form and are expecting to give the
grads a walloping.
All dates are uncertain after the
alumni contest, but all the usual
teams will be played. The chances
for having a championship team is
greater this year than for the last
three years. Last year the team
had a good season and with seven
letter men from that squad and
with the whole team of scrubs back
in line REINFORCED with a mob of
new youngsters the chances for a
whirlwind are surely bright.
| Hfnke In Good Form.
Cap" Hinke was in the best of
form last night and Coach Kimmel
is relying on him, to fill a big hole
in the line this year. Hinke played
a good game at tackle last year and
it is in this position that he is an
tfcipated to shine in the coming
season. Dude" hits the scales at
about IFS pounds, all solid weight
and is fast in addition. Last night
he was grabbing punts and passes
in classy style and opened the eyes
of all the old boys. The fans will
, do we'll to keep their eyes on this
man as the season develops.
