former glory.
Knowing that the five weeks sus-
pension imposed by Commissioner

his 1921 record. Ruth had only the
solace OF being the home run kine
of the year. With Kenneth Williams

NEW MATERIAL
TO PICK FROM
BY POLLY HY

What are the prospects for this
years Wilmington High School
football team? This question and
numerous others have been asked,
and the answer Is. wait and see.
The team has lost over four men
through graduation or going to
other schools. However. this years
team may be much stronger than
the one that played at Baynard
Field last season.
As is always the case. every Sc
mester brings with II new material
Tor the different sports at the Della
ware avenue institution. There are
already three new fellows who bid
well for berths. One OF these Is
Walton who says he has played on
one OF the navy teams and who Is
now taking the cooperative course
al the school. He will try for the
full-back position. left vacant by
Captain White who will enter PEN
nington.
Another whose name has not been
learned is said TO be a former quar-
ter-back OF the Southern High
School Of Philadelphia.
Coach Ashton will be back. As his
assistant. he Will have Mr. Brinton.
former star Of Haverford College.
Hunksie Stout. who will captain
the team is eager to get in his foot
ball togs and start practicing. The
captain holds down the guard posi-
tion and in many OF last years
games he showed some fine. clean
playing.
Although the date for practice has
not been announced. it Is expected
that It will be called around the last
week OF August. From the looks OF
the number Of freshmen who intend
to enter school in September and
from the number Of the upper class
men this years call should bring the
largest number OF candidates who
have responded.
Manager Collins has arranged a
schedule OF ten games, seven TO be
E'ayed either at Baynard Field or at
Harlan Field according 10 what the
4. a. board says. a few new teams
also will be seen. OF the number
Wenonah replaces Tome Prep,
which team has been on the Cherry

delphia will be here for the second
game on the schedule. II has been

delphia schools have played
