have to build an all new football ell
even next season at Cony high school.
There will be few veterans Of this
years championship outfit for q nu-
cleus. This situation does not worry
Coach Thompson. as it has been his
policy to work big squads in the early
season and to use as many substi-
flutes through the regular schedule as
ie consistent, to give the new men
some experience. There il some splen-
did material at the school. and out
OF this years big squad several have
had experience in one or more games.
The only real veterans of this
years team are Charlie Poor. who has
played a great game the latter part
Of the season. He 10 consistent
ground gamer carrying the ball. and
his -punting has given Cony the edge
in This department over all opponents.
Burns. who has upheld his end at
h&Ifback, in the games he has parti-
ciptaed in, and Is rugged boy.
"Bahe" Lapidus. who il freshman
ana. has shown up well at halfback
This boy with training and experience
should develop into A great back for
the red and white. Howell, who
played tackle in several games and
later went in at left end until put
out of the game with a broken collar
bone. Sam Folsom. guard; and Leav-
lit, center.
Besides these, there are several who
played a part of one or more games
this year and will probably develop
into a fast eleven under Thompson's
direction; They are, Pete Hill. end
or tackle; Don Hewitt, end; Yeaton,
end; Red Hayden, quarterback; Nc
Auley, fullback, Sawyer, end; and
Gregoire guard.
The team captain is chosen by this
years letter men. and the naming of
a leader for next season will prob
ably take place within a few days.
There are only two or thre men eligi-
BILE, as according to custom the cap
tain must be a senior. The indica-
lions now are that Charlie Poor will
be the choice of the &C" men to cap
tain next years squad, and it is be-
leved he will be popular selection.
OF the boys who played Saturday
either the whole or part of the game,
enough to make up team or eleven
men were probably playing their last
football game for Cony. These boys
went into the game Saturday, as they
have gone into every Cony game this
year, ready to give all that they had
that Cony might reign supreme on
the ejid-iron.

probably worn the Cony moleskins
