| in charge OF the activities of ths
| Dewitt team again this gear, is taking
! his squad to st. Johns College, An.
napolis. for short period Of preppinS
before the athletes are required to get

poets OF taking the city championship
a second time are exceedingly bright
as number of high school stars have
cast their lots with Dewitt because of
| the fraternity rule which bars them,
| from the teams at the public sec
ondary institutions.
Many Stars Missing.
Only three of last years regulars
! will be back with the Tech squad,
and Dan Ahearn of Western also re&
ports that he viii have but a trio of ex-
| perienced men around which to
| build another team. Central is slightly
better fortified, as five regulars of
| the 1924 eleven are expected to be on,
| hand to receive equipment at the
| first gathering of the Blue and White
| hopefuls.
| Both Bob Pugh and Bob Rice, CEN
| ter and substitute center of the Tech
combination of last year, are ex-
! pected to register at Dewitt along
| with Reds Aforeland, tackle. and Dick
| Turner end. Charles Dodson, half
| back. is still in school, but is ineligi-
| bic to play, and graduation has re-
moved most of the other Maroon and
Gray stars, including Frenchy Goet-
| tleman. guard; Gordon Kessler, John
| Parsons, Arthur Wondrack and
Reveille Jones. all backfield men.
| This leaves Benton Minnick. all
high tackle in 1924: Gene Dulin.
guard, and Nellie Jett, end. as
nucleus for new eleven, and places
a hard task before the Tech coach.
However, even with this small show
| ing, Hardeu is better favored than
last year. when only one veteran re-
ported at the start of the season.
Westerns mainstays will be Capt
| elect George Hageage, Albert Heagy
and Jimmy Mitchell, all linemen.
| Tommy David, a dependable back, is
not expected to return to the George
town school this Fall and viii be
sorely missed from the lineup. Shorty
| Hilleary and Reds Thornette are being
! counted on to fill two regular posi-
tions vacated by those who graduated
| in the Spring.
Veterans at Central.
Capt Morty Wilmer will hold down
| the quarter back job on the new Cen
| tral eleven. The other veterans
around whom a team will be forced
are Frank Blackstone, center: Ham
mond Lombard, guard; Jack Reiss and
Roy Engle, halfbacks.
Lynn Woodwork at Business and
Chief Guyon, Eastern's coach. have
yet to look over their prospects and
announce their plans for the Fall sea
son. The Stenographers, however,
will be better off than the other teams
in the number OF experienced men
who will return to the squad. More
over. they will have a welcome addi-
ton in Sam De Labra, 160-pound
| Corinthian Athletic Club fullback,
who is to attend Business this year.
Boardman Munson, all-high center,
who was chosen captain of the Busi-
ness team, was expected to return TO
the Ninth street school for another
term, but was last seen headed for
William and Mary College.
