DAVE MOREY DRILLS
M. H. S. ELEVEN
SCHOOL BOYS LEARNING PASS
USED BY MIDD VARSITY
Breathing Easier after Pittsford Game,
Local Lads Look Forward to
Good Season

Although the Middlebury high school
! football eleven met defeat at Pttsford
Tuesday afternoon the boys have not
lost their hope of representing the To-
cal school in better way on the grid
iron than it has been for several years.
Coach Dave Morey of the college has
agreed to instruct them either person.
ally or through one Of his best players
in his absence. Under his tutelage they
have entered into daily practice ses-
siOns with a zest that ought to bring
them victories in one of the hardest
schedules that any of them have
known.
The team has been definitely chosen
by the coach and manager. Every one
OF the eleven is a veteran of at least
one years experience, some having won
their letter two years ago Doc Ed
dy, of basketball prowess has been
chosen the manager and will play full
back William Gallipo the captain,
will c seen again at left tackle The
Others are: Hugh Yates, half back,
Reggie Farnham, halfback, Marc
Shambo, quarterback, Willard Whit
ney, right end, Max Eddy, right tackle,
Hyland Harris, right guard Ashley
Wolcott, center, Andrew Tulley left
guard, John Smolinzski, left end The
substitutes are Michael Smolnzski,
John Carrgan. Ralph Britain, Charles
Church and Thomas Gilligan.
The P.ttsford game was lost in the
last moment OF play With the score
tied Pittsford punted to the Middle
bury } yard line In the formation fol
lowing Shambo called for Yates to
skirt the end but passed too low, re
sulting in a tumble and recovery by
PittSford and the touchdown The
overhead play of the Pittsford eleven
completely baffled the local boys Only
two plays could be made through the
Middlebury line, but pass after pass
was completed without difficulty, two
OF which netted as much as 40 yards
each In the first half the locals had
the ball almost all the time, but seemed
TO lack the punch necessary to cross
the line more than once But their
fear of that stellar passing of the Pitts
ford team was their greatest hoodoC
they say, and they breathe more free
ly now that they have passed that test
as we'll as they did. The pretentious-
ness of the rest OF their schedule
vouches for the sincerity of their con-
fidence to raise Mddlebury colors once
more over the states schools gridirons
Some of the teams already contract
ed for are the Troy Conference Acad-
envy Of Poultney and the high schools
of Rutland Vergennes Brandon, Bur
lington and ST. Michaels high.
The local eleven boasts of line
that will average better than 100
pounds, very good rating for a high
school team The backs will receive
most of the attention of Coach Morey
and his assistants, as he considers it
much less developed than the line.
His first efforts will be directed toward
increasing their speed both in carry
ing the ball and defensive tactics. His
confidence in the possibilities of the
aerial attack, in which Middleburys
varsity made so favorable an impress
sion against Harvard last Saturday af
ternoon. he has inculcated into the boys.
They are proud of the several pass
plays that he has already taught them
and look forward to further drilling in
this method that made them so afraid |
of Pittsford The daily practice is
held after school hours on Porter Field |
The eleven has been helped by some
of the business men Of Middlebury to
the extent of S35 in contributions This
they all appreciate more than they can
say, they told the Register to say for
them by way of a token OF gratitude
