Captain of Business High
Team Points Out Many
Objections.

How are we going to play 1885,
pound football teams with that
bunch there" asked Tommy Somer-
willie, captain and end on the Busi-
mes High School eleven. as he
pointed to a hefty group Of his
fellows ready to line up for a
scrimmage yesterday. He had his
men weigh last Friday and found
the average to be l45 pounds for
the entire personnel. Yesterday,
with two of the largest men absent
from practice, the first team aver
aged about 147 pounds. However, a
heavier team can be put on the field
when the young men of weight join
the squad. With them Business can
boast of an eleven having an aver
age weight of 153 pounds exactly
Players support Captain.
Somervillc is supported in his
stand against 135-pound football by
all of the players on his squad and
by the whole school. He figures
that his trouble will be in schedul-
ing games with the unlimited
elevens Of Tech, Western and Cen
trail Those schools teams have
made out their schedules for the
season in the heavyweight class
II is not likely that either Tech OF
Western will outweigh the heaviest
combination that Business can pro
duCe, making it all the more i'm
portant that they should schedule
contests with the Orange and Blue
The plan for the lightweight
class of football may be carried
out. but in the case of the StenoG
raphers. who have not the expe-
rienced material for such team
! 1t will be a troublous affair. There
is nothing in the plan which pre-
vents Business from playing foot
ball in the unlimited class. New,
ertheless. playing two teams in two
different series might prove bar
rier to them. as the varsity would
necessarily be weakened to strength
en- the smaller eleven.
No Regular Coach Yet.
Another point in the argument
of the StenOgraphers is that no reg
ular coach has yet been obtained
which means that the varsity will
suffer for lack Of experienced tu-
toring. One man will have his
hands full in showing the varsity
the proper methods of the gridIror
game. much less coaching the 135,
pound team. Bugs Berlin and Buck
Wise. two former stars for Busi-
ness. have been working with the
squad for several days, giving a.
much time as possible to the Orange
and Blue.
The varsity lined up as follows
yesterday: Marvin, right end; FAINT
tackle; Taubersmith, guard; Nc
Garrughy. center; DuFeif. left
guard Ferber. tackle; and Somer-
willie, end; Meaney. quarter back;
Mcintyre. right half; Peterson. left
half; and Wise. full back This
combination is capable of showing
the other teams a hard fight now
and with some expected changes in
the lineup and the addition OF new
men to the squad, the Orange and
Blue will be better able to up
hold its colors in the battles tC
come.
Strenuous efforts are being made
by the Stenographers to schedule
games with the unlimited teams of
Tech, Western and Central.

spell which has lapsed since he won
his last race yesterday afternoon at
Havre de Grace by saddIing the win

Griffwood. This is the first race
Griffith has won at the present meet

with several of his principal bread
winners, namely. Amackassin, Gath

is well known to local racing fans.
