GIANT SANDLOT
TEAM CALLED
FALSE ALARM
Seat Pleasant Now Remolding
Eleven to Gain Spirit
Instead of Heft.
BY II. ID. THOMAS.

Seat Pleasant, hailed as the
sandlot cyclone that would tear
up all in its path, has turned out
to be a false alarm. Seat Pleas
ant failed 10 send the Mohawks
to the happy bunting grounds, or
even to make powerful effort.
That was a severe blow TO hackers
OF the team who had placed high
hopes in the mastodonic suburban
eleven. 1t appears now that all
Coach Charley Guyon had for mates
rial was a remarkable amount OF
beef.
Lots of that has been dropped. it
Is understood, and Seat Pleasant is
starting out again under a new
policy. The players composing the
team at the seasons opening were
taken from many parts of the city
and apparently selected for their
heft. Now Seat Pleasant wants
players with speed and football
ability and, more than that. spirit.
Lack Of spirit was noticeable In
Seat Pleasant ranks during the
Mohawk game particularly. That
may have ben due partially to the
absence part of the time Of Coach
GuyOn. who accompanied an in
jured player to the hospital.

the Mohawks Seat Pleasant not only
was beaten decisively by the Indians.
but just recently fell prey to the
Mohawk Preps. To be licked by the
