HIGH FOOTBALL SQUAD
GETS BRISK WORKOUT
AT CITY PLAYGROUND

Brisk scrimmage and snappy signal
practice featured the workout of the
high school squad on the playground
gridiron Tuesday evening. The ma
jority OF the fellows reported to
Coach Stenger for the practice, in
Guiding Tom Nolan, who has been on
the sidelines for some time. Nolan
is considered logical man for regu-
lar berth and his work thus far has
been of high order.
Stenger ran the first and second
squads through the best scrimmage
held this year. The two teams were
evened up by the switching of Green,
Nolan, Stanley and Schumacher to the
second team. They scrimmaged for
several minutes, each team scoring at
frequent intervals The purpose of
the mixed lineup was to make the
competition more intense and to de-
velop the forward passing and line
bucks of the first squad. The final
score of the short game was 24-24
neither side having the better of the
argument.
Been Fortunate
Thus far this season the men have
met with no serious disasters and
their precaution is regarded as being
the main reason for the good condi-
ton of the men, physically. Stenger
makes a habit of making the man
work for his position and some lively
competition for the regular berths has
prevailed throughout the season.
The defensive play OF the entire
team has been the main factor in the
victories registered so far Green,
Gaylor Spaulding and Muuigan have
stood out as the main defensive cogs
in the machine and with these huskies
plugging the holes the offense has al
ways been able to come across with
the necessary points for the win.
Captain Tom Schumacher, deserves
mention for being the captain Of the
first team in three years to win two
games in one season. Schumacher does
not necessarily deserve commenda-
ton for his good work any more than
the other members of the team, but,
the fact that he is doing his part so
well marks him as a real captain for
the high school team.
Making Good Showing.
Wonderful showing is being made
by men of the team who are either
playing their first year or have had
little experience Malone is making
his debute as quarterback this year
and his ability has been proved in the
past games by his brainy plotting OF
the teams plays. Brown Kennedy
Spaulding and Gaylor are playing their
first year at the grid game and they
must be commended for their good
work.
The forward passing department of
the game is a very important one,
and Stanley, a new man, has made
quite a show by his ability to receive
passes for substantial gains. Another
pair of new men who are alternating
at right tackle is Senior and Kohnle
These fellows won their places by
work and they show signs of promise
in the remaining games of the SEIZED
lie Around the old timers-MattoH,
Nulligan, Nolan. Schumacher and
Green is the nucleus for the win
ming team which the Red and White
has proved itself to be thus far.
Practice With Earlham.
Coach Stenger's grid squad met com
petition at Earlham college, Wednes
day evening, for their big and import
, ant workout before the knightstowr
game here Saturday. The high schoC
men have benefited by the scrimmagC
with the more experienced men. Due
to the fact that they are meeting the
college men in practice, they are able
10 subdue the high school teams o.
Indiana, which they have met so far
Richmond will have a chance o.
witnessing the Red and White in &C
ton for the second time this season
when Coach "Sheno" Collins's war
riors from Knightstown appear foi
big tilt on Reid field Saturday af
ternoon. A large crowd of rooters is
expected from Knightstown and alon;
with the usual crowd OF local fans
there should be a record crowd ou
