GIVE COACH HOPE
|. ON WINNING TEAM
Young. Planning for Future,
Sees Chance of Doing
Well This Year.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

- VERY dog has his day, and
r. so does most every college
- freshman - when he be-
comes a sophomore. But
the hitherto lowly American Uni
versity frosh are having their
days right now-while in their
greenest stage-for much of the
success of the Eagles 1880 foot
ball edition rests upon the sturdy
shoulders of several Of these
neophytes.
When the average local foot ball fan
begins to talk about college grid pros
poets he doesn't mention American
University in the same breath with the
larger local and nearby seats of learn
ing, but, just the same, Coach Walter
Young, the youthful mentor, had and
still has a job on his hands which is as
big As any of 'em.
Last year, his first at American Uni
versity, Coach Young called out his
squad, and less than enough to make
up first and second team turned out,
making actual scrimmage almost I'M
possible.
Twenty three Have Reported.
This year 10 aspirants reported right
off the bat, and since the squad has
largest number ever to turn out at
A, u. This doesn't sound like a whole
lot, but 1t has popped up athletics at
the Eagle institution aplenty.
We're banking on the frosh this
year." declared the clipper young
coach, "and If they come through we
ought to make good showing. The
boys are coming along nicely now and
are looking forward to that game Sat-
urday with Shenandoah"
Coach Young has lost no time in
making hay while the sun is shining
With the innovation of having two
complete elevenS and five subs to boot,
he has been scrimmaging 'em daily, and
the tentative first-string eleven has
been moving like a well-oiled machine
But the real test comes Saturday."
AYERS Young, then We'll see what's
what"
Three freshmen already have clinched
regular posts. Bill Fuchsle, who halls
from Kingston, N. Y, is on left end;
Williett DENT, who captained St. AL
bans last year, Is holding down a guard
berth, and George Borsari. Middle
boro, Mass, product, is doing the quar-
terbacking.
Future Looks Rosy.
Ted Lytle, a freshman from Ruther-
ford, N. j., is battling Fred johnson for
the center post. while Phillip Chates,
another Middleboro product, and Lee
ESper, from Altoona, Pa, are receiving
their share of work at halfback posi-
lions.
Young is wearing big smile now
adayB, for the future looks rosy. In
addition to those six frosh who have
displayed potential ability, the rest of
the squad, with the exception of Carl
Levine, tackle, and Dick Jarvis. half
back, is expected to return next year.
Eddie Parks, star end; Fred johnson.
center, and Forrest, Diehl, back, are
sophomores, while Russell Lambert,
tackle; Milton Folston. 275-pound guard,
and Reds Olsen, halfback, are juniors.
The Eagle squad has been fortunate
in that only one injury has been Suf-
fered, and that one has been slight.
Forrest Diehl, backfeld candidate, was
on the sidelineS for while last week
with knee injury.
Young's policy. from the start Of his
term at American University q year
ago, has been to build for the future,
and 1t appears as though he is in q fair
way of carrying out his program and
yet at the same time put a formidable
eleven on the field this year.
