H. s. SQUAD HAS
 HARD BAYS WORK
Coaches Cassidy and Leghorn Drill Candidates in SCrilnmage
-~---t--~-.-~a

Coach George Cassidy of the High school eleven put his charges through a strenuous program of scrimmaging, tackling, bunting, etc, last night Ill what was the first real hard days work since the boys were called out this year. The some 50 candidates show improvement, generally speaking. and the process of selecting "a, squad will shortly be gotten under way.
 The school is fortunate this year in having a number of capable ap- bearing candidates for each of the positions and indications are that every man on the squad will. be obliged to show his mettle to hold down a place on the team. The coaching squad has assured the boys that the work of picking a first squad will not be under taken until every man has shown what he is capable of. doing and in some instances displacement of letter. men is anticipated. Coach George Leghorn has been out with the boys for the past week and has given the linemen some valuable pointers in de- fensive tactics as well as "roughing' it.
 It is expected that two complete teams will be given an opportunity 10 stack up, against the Alumni eleven in the opening game of the season., one week from Saturday. This plan has been deemed advisable since tho coaching staff will be given an oppor- ,tun'ty to observe greater mum mber, of candidates under actual playing con ditions, and accordingly make selec- tions for the first squad. 'f
 A series of trick plays, several of which are original in the coaching squad, were tried out last night and worked we'll The plays will be put in use during Saturdays games.
 Managers Hayes and Nesta are communicating with the Wallingford High school in an effort to arrange for a game to be played October !. The Wallingford team has not been called out for practice as yet and it is probable that the squad will not be in condition to engage in battle with the local team. If not, the manage ment will make an effort to book a game elsewhere.

WESTERN FOOTBALL
 PLAYERS PREPARING
Ten University Football Teams Hold First Practice, Preliminary to
 Opening Games.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-The ten western conference university football squads today held their first practice in prepa- ration for a season which finds most of the stronger elevens of the 1920 season faced with the task of rep1ac- ing a majority of their former stars, and two of the tail-enders of last year straining to develop teams which will make creditable showings on schedul- ed eastern invasions.
 The interest was generally accorded Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio State university championship teams, temporarily subdued by attention giv- en Chicago and Indiana, the two eleyens which will carry western con- ference co1ors into stadiums of the in years.
 Chicago faces Princeton at Prince ton October 22, in the first of home and home series.
 Coach A1onzo Stagg is pointing his team entirely for the clash with Princeton.
 At Indiana university, Coach "Jum- bo' Steihm has an even more difficult task than Stagg, for his eleven, one of the weakest last season, and with few of its stars back in school, must trade thuds with Harvard at Cambridge on October s.
 In the conference itself, Ohio State, in order to retain its 1920 champion ship may need even more good fortun~ than last season when two games were won by one point and another by a touchdown actually made after the fi- nal whistle had been blown.
 Michigan and Wisconsin are expect IL though the latter lost many stars, while Illinois, Minnesota, Northwest ern, Iowa and Purdue are the dark horses of the season.

New York, Sept. 15.-The Chicago White Sox, persistent killjoys in the life of the 1921 Yankees, passed out of this years picture, as far as tho Hugmen are concerned, with a game at the Polo Grounds yesterday. Before departing the pale hosed athletes scattered a lot more gloom around the meadow under Coogan's Bluff and for more than six innings had the Tanks staggering and fioundering around, all set for a drop into second place. An unexpected break in the fortunes of the Hugmen made a belated arrival in the seventh inning, in the shape of a streak of wildness such as Borneo never could improve upon, and through it the Tanks rode to victory by the score of II to s. As the In- dians took another fall out of the Mackmen the victory kept the half game lead of the New Workers intact. The score:
