Ten minutes later Happy Hardell
was driving the entire Tech squad
with the fury Of a mule skinner.
The teams went through every
rudiment -ef- the game. Tackling,
falling on the ball. blocking, pass
'sing, kicking, scrfnmaging and
pain, unadulterated signal practice.
The boys sweated and grdnted; they
gasped and stheir. chests. heaved with
forced breathing.

muttered as he sqninted ferociously
at the squad laboring. ''I'n make
'em so tough they'll want to play
football for relaxation"
Then Tech went out and beat

it's second scholastic year runs
nlerriIy along.
Tech lost the guiding genius Of
last years great team by sgradua-

diploma he left his cd schools flat

great football player but he had

Tech hasn't many of the things
that are considered essential for a
football team The team has to go
to the Tourists camp in Potomac
Park to dress and undress9 They
have no showers and no lockers.
The training starts at 3;45 and it's;
dark in two hours
Only one man on the squad has
had what might be called expert

the Crescent eleven last year. And

Schofield's innate knowledge OF the
game
From last years backfield Hap
has Jet and Dodson. The latter Isl
now field general and Jett Is Iull-
backing.
rCasassa and Mullen have not yet
begun TO work smoothly and eff
GENTLY with the two veterans.
Naturally the work of the backs is
ragged and sloppy. If the time
soon comes when all four plug to-
gether, Tech will give the best of
them a good argument. =
SchOfieId, the experienced, is
holding down the berth at left
end. Minnix, weighing 185 pounds,
but easily hurt, is at the left
tackle, with Oehmann playing the
guard. That side of the line
needs cohesion, but the latent
power is there. When that boy
Minnix stops them and then tuHn-
bles thOughtfully OH the reclining
form of the adversary, only one
obvious thing happens.
Captain .Dulin has Snowden flip
ping the ball and Young helping
MIN AT tackle. Roger, a pretty fair
end, completes the line. Oehmann
is the lightest. player on the team
and, according to his coach, is one
OF the best. The youngster tips the
scale at 140 pounds and is only
fourteen years old.
Tech has plenty of reserve mate
rial, There are two complete lines,
and the Manual Trainers leader
says that the difference between the
lines is almost negligible.
Hardell himself believes that
Tech will have a great team from
this years collection. He says the
boys are gluttons for punishment
and that they are rounding into
form slowly but surely. His great
est fear is for the Central game.
The Blue and White clashes with
its dear old friend next week. And
that is just a few days before some
highly desirable individuals will be
