The coming Of Halloween TO-
morrow means Joy and celebration
for many rof US, but to students in
the high school group. it means
one thing-the end Of the first ad-
visory period.
Football members win especially
breath easier when the day Is over
and their reports read that they
have passed in their various sub
jects. A failure In any one sub
ject viii keep them from playing
football for the rest Of the season.
The coaches Of the teams usu.
ally breath easier also, after the
day Is spent determining whether
this player or that passed In an
Of his subjects.
Sometime they come out Of 1t
all with q long face as maybe one
or two men, and they are often
star players, have failed. This
means the practical ruinati0n Of
q team; the necessity Of building
another, etc.
And then again . coach
might smile and get . mere
joyful attitude on the situar
tiOn II he gains one or maybe
two Of the sO-caIled lneligibles
which are reputed TO, be stars
Of the first rank. He cele-
brates HOllOween completely
then.
Oddly enough, none Of the
teams In the high school group
figure on losing dependable play
ers ct this time. Instead two
teams win welcome additions.
They are Western and Business.
Coach Ahearn at Western win
count rs more noses next Mon
day when he calls practice for
the week. This win give him q
real opportunity to finish up the
season In grand style from q
building for 1891 standpoint rat

Most prominent to return are
Dick BuScher, cousin to the, Ever.
ett BuScher, already on the team:
Haywood, an end; HilIeary, q
backfield man, and LightboWn,
another wingman. .,s -
It is BuScher, however, who Is
expected to add strength to the
team. He is q tackle and weighs
$50 pounds. just the weight need
ed to balance the line.
Coach. AherTl'S> Westerns play
Eastern tomorrow. Because Of its
showing against Central Q week
or so ago, Western is held likely
to score q triumph. It viii be
the teams greatest opportunity
to- get q Strangle hold on the
"firSt three places" 4in theg series
standings, q position Fl 1t has mot
held for three years or, more.
Six men are expected to :
become, aliEible. : ct Business,
with nary . man On. the pres
ent squad falling by the way
side, according TO CoSeh Lynn
WOOdw0rth., Here 1ss& story
in itself.
Business has always been.known
in the past as, q team with the
most uncertainties. From ad-
.visory toTadvisory Coach Wood

remembered Of stlae Business Cen.

it was ended. that over sshaN sof
the Business lineup was spotted
with ineligible men. Coach Wood
WotthS remaining men lost every
game from that time on, because
the team was so wrecked that .it
