Hardell got the jump on his rival
coaches when he took his squad to
the University of Maryland. at Col
leEe Park. Md. for several days of
conditioning work prior to the high
school opening last Monday. 1t is
evident that the trip to the Maryland
institution did considerable to put
the candidates in rugged condition. 1t
is evident that the candidates are in
the pink of condition.
Clever Team Is Likely.
The followers of the Maroon and
Gray probably will see Tech team
this year that will play clever foot
ball. OF the three formed Maroon
and Gray teams yesterday there was
one in particular that executed its
plays with neatness and dispatch. 1t
was led By Milly Price. who probably
will get the regular job as quarter
back. Charging swiftly and seldom
getting mixed up on signals. this
combination displayed the makinss
of a first-rate eleven. Although it is
understood that Hardell has not yet
selected his first eleven, the following
players have all the earmarks of
first string performers:
Capt Charley Pugh. half; MillE
Price quarter: Ham Adams and Jack
Cline. tackles: Martin Gooch. half:
Beany Brown. guard: Frank Htssey'
center; Gordon Kcssler and Reds
Mureland, ends; Johnny Parsons, half;
Del Zahn. half: Joe Wood. end: Bob
Price, center. and Olds, linesman or
half.
The Manual Trainers were the only
high school eleven to score against
Central last year 1t was Charley
Pugh who turned the trick. He sue
cessfully booted a pair of drop-kick"
against Doc Whites cohorts. Charley
was practicing yesterday ana ne
cleared the bars with several neat
kicks He is being counted upon
heavily by Coach Hardell. Charley
probably will play half this season
His speed, kicking and e-plunging
qualities should enhance Techs
strength.
Coach HardeH desires to develop
a backfeld composed of two speedy
PLAYERS and a pair of heavy young
sters who can tear through the line.
AS far as can be gathered at TINS
early period, Charley Pugh. MlIlH
Price. Johnny Parsons. Del Zahn ana
Martin Gooch will be selected TO
fill these jobs. There We're some
huskies in uniforms yesterday. Some
Of them include Wondrack, guard;
Robinson. tackle: Scriviner, haIf; NC
Kay, Mccormick, Charley Barber
guard; Tehaan. guard; Jones, tackle.

Mcdonald. Dodson, Hust. ONelh'
Pairo, April and Goettleman.
This year will mark Harde.L denui i
as a high school varsity foot balI
coach. Two years ago he tutored the
135-pound team at Tech. which was
developed into one of the pest young
outfits in the five high schoois.
Emory Shanks and William House,
who now are out for the Penn varsity.
are proteges ofS Hardell. HALEY:
last years captain Of the Maryland
University freshmen team. also re
ceived his first training under the
Tech mentor.
Well Fixed for I[ickerS.
In addition to Charley Pugh as an
adept kicker. Tech afSo has Benny
fairly good hooters. The latter kicks
with his left foot and after more
practice he may equal Pugh. one OF
the outstanding features of Tech
team this year will be the ends.
Hardell intends to fill these positions
with two hefty youngsters who are
fast and Skillful in catching passes.
Joe Wood, Gordon kessler and Reds
Moreland are likely to play these
Uositions Price probably will do the
forward passing, judging from the
way in which he was heaNlnS them
to Adams yesterday.
Tehann is expected to offer stiff op-
position for a regular job as guard,
while Zahn, who played with the
Yosemites last year, is out for back
field position. Jones, track star,
and Robertson are Two youths who
may make the first teams. One of the
heaviest players on the field yester-
day was Dutch Wondrack, star guard
of last years Stantons. He tips the
scale at $50 pounds. Bealy Brown.
brother of Chauncey and Leo Brown
of Maryland University, is apt to get
a regular guard assignment. Beany
resembles bottle in shape, but he
speed. Browns performance against
Episcopal High School last year
brought him to the limelight. Harland
Evans, substitute end on Western
High. is the Snuad.
