A paragraph announcement re-
Gently calling together candidates
for the Wilmington High School
football team for a morning work
out in the gym brought TO light the
fact that Coach Harry Ashton had
been on the Job for several days
previous and had been working on a
small squad OF material for the 1929
eleven OF the Cherry and White.
Yesterday there was another get-to-
gether and about IS huskies report
ed.
One fact disclosed Is that Coach
Ashton will have an assistant I'm the
person OF Bob Foulk. one time de-
fender OF the Cherry and White on
the gridiron and lately an end at
the University OF Delaware. FOulk
will become instructor IN mathe-
MATES at the Delaware avenue in
stitution when the term opens. He
has had much experience in foot
ball and should be able 20 impart
! hisVfootball knowledge as we'll as
the old pep for which he was noted
TO the Highlets.
Foulk will instruct the linemen
and pay special attention TO the
ends. at present a knotty problem.
He will also have charge OF the
scrub team. and more than likely
there will be some hot battles In
the workouts with the Varsity this
fall.
Physical Director Brown will
again act as trainer. He was a world
OF help 20 Coach Ashton last sea-
son in keeping the players in con-
dition.
Coach Ashton will issue the first
call for outdoor practice for next
Tuesday afternoon at Baynard Field.
He will have less than four weeks
TO get his charges in shape for the
/ first game, which will be played in
wilmington with Newark High. on
Saturday. September 80. Ten games
are on the schedule. one for every
Saturday starting with the last one

most entirely OF rudimentary nature.
Coach Ashton has given some Of the
green material considerable prelim-
mary instruction through these
\ practices. A number OF last years
squad. including several OF the reg
I ulars. have been unable to report,
being out OF town on vacations, or
working With the starting OF out
door practice next week nearly all
OF them are expected back. includ-
ing Captain Stout. and Fletcher and
Bowe. who will have returned from
the Plattsburg training camp. Stout
and Fletcher were regular linemen
last year, and Bowe a regular back
field man. "Puss" Millikin, the
most likely looking candidate at
present for quarterback. is expect
ed back from Maine the first OF next
week. Giles. a guard, and Daw-
son, who is expected to cinch back
field berth, may also he out with
the start Of the first outdoor work.
Norm White. who was not expect
ed back this season, has been work.

tain his berth at fullback.
The workouts at Baynard Field
will be in rudimentary football and
will start at o'clock and continue
until every day. With the open
ing OF the school the following Mon
day all possible candidates will be
urged out for the squad.
Coach Ashton outlined his plans
for the season to several Of his
charges at a meeting held in his
home on Tuesday evening. He has
a pretty good advance line on the
material available now at the High
School and is looking forward to a
turn out of between 40 and so can
didates when school reopens. About
IS first class candidates from last
years squad will be numbered
among these. Only FIVE men from
last years team were lost through
graduation. They are Carbon.
Kraemer. Weiner. McNiff and Bar
clay. The entire line from tackle
10 tackle remains practically in
tact from last season, but Coach
Ashton wants all the candidates,
old and new. to understand that no
advance picking Of the team has
been made. He made II plain that
every man has an equal opportun-
ity for a Varsity berth.
All home games will be played at
Baynard Stadium This will great

fenced at the other portion OF Bay
nard Field, as the Stadium has a
seating capacity OF 5000. The two
