Likely to Start As Forward BUSHES.

While arguments. both verbal ana
written are being wased between
those for and against the athletic
policy OF the n. n. II. s. athletic de-
partment, the wearers Of the Red and
Gold are undergoing nightly drills In
preparation FOR the coming game with
Buckley High school team OF New
London In that city tomorrow after
noon,
An Important Game
Although the game with Buckley

tho season II will nevertheless bring
out the weak points OF the team 10
better advantage than II weaker
team were played. Buckley last year
was one OF the leading teams in the
state. having been victorious over
New Haven and Meriden after the
Red and Gold team had met defeat
from those teams. The Red and
Gold team then played the port
towners later on In the season and
defeated them, much to the surprise
OF the schools most ardent rooters.
The Franklin Square aggregation
will go into the game tomorrow de-
termined to give their best to win.
Likely Looking Squad.
A splendid looking squad of ath-
letes report every night at ST. Mary's
field, where they are divided into two
teams and are sent through scrim-
mage. Much rivalry is being shown
by the various candidates, OF which
there are over twenty at present
The principal battle for positions seem
to center in the line. where the boys
en- the first team are sighting to re-
tain their positions and the boys on
the second team are battling to re-
place them. Just now it looks as If
the battle will not be settled until
long after tomorrow's game, but this
contest may throw a little light on the
subject.
Much End Material
One thing noticeable Is the abund-
ance Of end material out for the
team. Nine members of the squad
of about twenty-five men were out for
the wing positions. Most of them,
+ owever. have been shifted to other
positions where in the majority of
cases they are doing well. The fol-
owing men are out for end: Huber,
Giana, Mccarthy Belser, Fingler,
Hennessy, Gennett, Barton, and Nor
Ion. In the workouts this week
Tingler is trying his hand at quarter
back where he is doing splendidly.
It Is expected that he.will be kept
here for the rest of the season.

Fred Martin has been whipping the
Wesleyan team into shape this week
for the opening game with Bates on
Saturday. Those who have been
watching the work. have come to the
&C Inclusion that Martin probably has
the best material this year that he
has had for some time. There are
seven veterans from last years team
as we'll as Scriggins who played two
years ago. There is also good ma
terial from last years freshman team.
The scrmmaging this week has
meant much to the men and has
given the coaches a chance to watch
the players in action. AL Fricke and
Somers seem to be gaining favor at
quarter and Martin probably will
start them there. Howard, Spring
field boy, has been shifted from full
back to half and Phillips has been
put in there. Capt. Adams probably
will be the other halfback position.
The freshmen came out for prac-
tice for the first time on Tuesday.
