winning football combination.
Swanson the line men and ends.
While the Manual squad b.
week, still yesterday really mar
Manual will have a team with plenty
of weight, but it is too early TO de-
termine just how the south side team
will compare in weight with either
Shortridge or Technical. The three
teams will not differ much in weight,
however.
It appears that Manuals weight will
be on the line. The backs. while
good husky boys, are not exceptionally
heavy.
William Mussman, weighing 217
pounds, is the largest athlete playing
football at any Indianapolis high
school. He was worked at guard yes
terday, but he may be moved out to
a tackle position.
AIussman has plenty Of height to
carry his weight. For big athlete
he charges unusually fast. Several
bows had a chance TO try to muss
N1ussman up a little yesterday, but
Painter was the only one who had
much luck in trying to break through
the big man.
Painter played guard last year at
Manual. He has been shifted to
tackle this season. He is without
question one Of the best line men on
any high school team in the State. He
charged hard and fast yesterday in
scrimmage. The other tackle posi-
ton is causing the south side coaches
worry Just now.
Herbst, 1877 pounds, is a tackle pos
sibility or he could be used at guard.
Henry Hebert and Lambert will be
tried out at tackle. Hulbarder, who
was a second team line man last year
at Manual, should make good on the
first team this season.
Carl Howard, Robert Alley, and Joe
Strickland are all trying for position
on Manuals football team.
VOIrath is a line man who is fair
punter, and this kicking ability may
help him land a regular job on the
varsity eleven. The truth is Manual
is in a bad way for d punter. Both
coaches admitted one Of their big prob
lens would be the developing Of a
kicker who can punt, and kick field
goals.
Floyd at Center
Floyd of last years team seems 10
solve the problem at center. He is
tall enough, heavy enough and has
plenty of speed and experience. He
passes well and in tackling practice
yesterday he downed the back field
men in far better style than any
other man who was given an oppor-
tUnity to tackle
The strong point of Manuals team
last year was the ends. James Huber
and Charles McNeeley, last years
regular wing men, are again on the
Job. Charles Becker who was reg
ular early in the season and was in
iured in an early season game and
not used in the more important con
tests, is back this year. The regular
ends will have trouble holding their
positions at Manual for Charles Cou-
rim. Fred Braun. Sam Glazier, and
Ted Martin all are trying for end pc
sitions, and all have good chance to
make the first team.
Hutton of last years squad is be
ing worked at full back. Higgs, a
new man, IS his rival for the full back
position.
Three half backs, by their work so
far this season. appear to be the men
who will be almost sure to make the
regular team. Stewart, Cederholm
and Comiskey are the half backs.
Stewart was half back and captain
last year at Manual. No captain has
been chosen at Manual this year, John
Scott and NoI are also being tried at
half back.
Manual has two quarter backs in
Boyd Courin and Horace Oglesby,
who could be used at half back Both
are good men at carrying the ball.
Another quarter back is Marley Snod-
grass, little fellow, who HAS a world
Of speed, can pass the bill either long
or short for forward passes.
While it is early in the season and
a true comparison of the strength Of
the indianapolis high school teams
would be hard to make, it is safe to
say Manual viii have a strong team,
and will make a real fight for not only
city hOnOrs, but possibly for the State
championship.
A splendid schedule has been ar
ranged for the Mammal team. The
schedule follows: Sept. 80, Marion at
Marion; Oct 6, Wabash at Wabash:
Oct. 10, game pending; Oct. 81, Central
high school at Evansville; Nov. 3,
Shortridge; Nov. 10. Greenfield at
Greenfield; Nov. IS, Brazil at Brazil;
Nov. 20, Technical.
Manager X. Y. zimmerman plans to
schedule a game on Oct. - with some
high school in the northern part of
Indiana. Goshen has asked for this
date and Manual may play that team.
No game on Manuals schedule is
attracting more attention than the
one with Central high school of
Evansville, to be played next month
at the Ohio river city. Central high
school was the best team in southern
Indiana last year and ranked among
the three strongest in the State. This
game is one of the most important
ever scheduled by Manual and will do
much to assisting football critics in
naming the State high school cham
pion team at the end of the pres
