Eighth Street Players Working
Out Daily Under Coach
MaIIoy.

In n spirited scrimmage yesterday
at Harlan Field, the Salesianum foot
ball candidates went through the
stiffest workout since their first turn
out on the grldlron. Considerable i'm
provement was shown by the Catholic
High football aspirants over those OF
the past few days. The lads were fav-
ored greatly by the use OF Harlan
Field The Catholic High eleven viii
hold practice and home games on
this field during the football season.
The candidates formed themselves
into two squads, A and Il. Each drill
ed for 20 minutes prior to the big
scrlmmage in various plays and for
nations. The formations Of Squad a
were cieverly and wisely made up by
It's players. This squad seemed 10
have all light and small players, yet it
was the one that effected the best
work in the scrimmage. The mem
bers Of each squad were given turns
AT drop Kicking. Russo, a new stu
dent at the Eighth Street institution
sent the pigskin flying through tho
air for long distance. This boy will
probably be given a position in the
| b4ckfield.
| Vale, Harvard or any. OF the big
/ college elevens could not have put as
much spirit and enthusiasm in a game
az the youngsters did yesterday in
scrimmage. Lining up in battle array
both squads gave a favorable impres.
sion Of real opposing teams, waiting
with steady attention for the kickoff
| with a kick from Joe Lovelrs strong
foot, the pigskin went sailing fOi
about 45 yards. Squad a gave tbs
klck-off and followed It up for abou
40 yards. Squad n was unable 10 hOlt
back the l.ne buc1sing Of its Op
ponents. Steadily working their wal
up the field. Squad A soon came II
reach Of a touchdown. Things turned
however. at this point. Forming int
an impregnable line. Squad b Gu
short the aggressIveness Of It's op
pOnent.
Due greatly to the remarkable lin
piunging of Sweeney and McGraw o
Squad 3, It's players gradually woi
back all lost ground. Grady, VIII
called signals fer Squad u. acted Il
fine style in guarding the man witt
, | the Ddil on his Hitf. sotlNdu sou
scored touchdown. due TO youn
McGrawis ability TO overthrow an
avoid the opponents tacklers.
This work of Squad II did not las
long. for with such backield as tn
opposing squad had, the defense G
Squad r broke down. The first hal
ended in favor OF the b players havin
scored two touchdowns.
Part of the second half had bee
played when one OF the players ir
jured his leg. and since it was CROWN
I dark, Coach Malloy called off pra,
tice. All the time the candidates wei
: playing, the Varsity men of last year
eleven took care that the candidate
s held themselves in the. right postul
c both for defense and offense. Gral
= and Captain Dolan acted as guard az
:. tackle for a while.
