. ONLY FOURLETTER MEN ARE ON'HAND Lots of Promising Material on Squad, but Most of It 15 Very Green. v GDIS J. (TY) RAUBER, newly appeinted Central High School foot ball coach, faces a big_job to turn out a formidable Blue and White eleven this season. Only four seasoned players are at hand eround whom to build the 1928 com- bination. There is plenty of other promising _material. but promising is the best that can be said of it as the majority in this group are not familiar | with even the rudiments of the game. Capt. Gene Stevens, back, and George Mehler, Sanford Ross and George Brandt, linemen, are the only really e: perienced gridmen on the job. They glone of the big squad sport letters won on the gridiron last season. i Despite the dismal outlook the Cen- tral squad has a fine spirit and follow- ers of the Columbia Heights School are confident that given a fair Rauber will turn out the best possible team under the circumstances. A Centrai graduate who cherishes the traditions o1 his school, an aggressive one that insists on fair’ play, appears peculiarly well fitted for post. It is plain that he is liked at Central and that he likes | his job. | A" hard worker himself. Rauber has made it plain to candidates for the | eleven, including even those who were members of last Fall's team, that none | has clinched a position on the 1928 | Central combination. All jobs will go | to the boys most deserving them and all | candidates will be given equal consid- eration, savs Tv. s | With its scheduled opening game | S-ptember 28 with Forest Park High of | Baltimore canceled upon the request of | that school, Central now is casting about for a contest or scrimmage ses- | sion for next week end. | In additon to the four-letter men. | members of the Blue and White squad | include the following: { Albert Hochbaum, Lawrence Plumley, Paul Hinkel, Clifton Willingham, Oliver | Schiver, Trueman Dodson, George Mc- Ginney, Seymour Mintz, John Hanley, Iichael Oliveri, Lambert Crymes, David Krupsaw, Alfred Reines, David Stephan, Ton Blish, Herbert Olsen, Sam Mir- man, Walter O'Loughlin, Harold Black, A'bert Taylor, Joseph Cochran, Fred Burka.

November 20—Western. November 28—Princeton Prep. Under the direction of Coach Bill Poley, Central High track candidates are now down to work. Calvin Milans, sen- | sational young high jumper, is captain | @t the Biue and White team and other veterans on the squad include Jim Proctor, pole vaulter; Lamber Crymes, Ed Milans, broad jumpers; Russell | Lampson, javelin thrower; James Reilly, half miler; Feldman, dash performer; Soolsby, quarter and half-miler; Martin, half-miler, and Hobbs, Ducker, Walden- meyer, Buckingham, Caplan and Allen.

Quincy Owens and Worthington, line- men, and Captain Dick Park, Mike Hunt | And George Fletcher, backfield per- formers, constitute the group around whom Ahern must build his eleven. Among candidates for the Tech High foou ball team are Jack and Logan Wil- ton, twins. Jack is 5 feet 10, inches and Logan is 5 feet 11 inches. Each| wWeighs about 168.

With Captain Knott, Culler and Bernard in the backfield and Tangora, Sampson, Huntress and Vincent in the line, Coach Jim McNamara has a capable bunch of veterans.

Coach L. P. Banfield of Emerson In- stitute's grid squad is confident of turn- ing out a sturdy team if a backfield averaging only about 135 pounds can stand the gaff. Leading Emerson candidates include Davidson and Riggs, ends; Darby and Shugrue, guards; Krick and Matthews, tackles; Trilling, center; Dan Galotta, quarter; Gordon, Bird and Kidder, backs. Joe Lynch, Malcomb McKaig and Nelson Colley are other promising as- pirants on the squad which includes products of several public high and prep schools in this section. Emerson will open its campaign Sep- tember 29 against Business High. GRIDIRON CONTESTS CARDED TOMORROW EAST. Drexel vs. Juanita. Philadelphia. Rhode Island vs. U. S. Coast Guards, Kingston.

Also the opposing back who is stationed about 10 yards down the field opposite each end. The job of this back is to prevent the end from getting down the field either to make the tackle or, in case that cannot be done, to turn the receiver straight up field instead of out and around him. Practically every punt that is run back for a big gain is returned up the side of the field.

NEIL, (Amsociated Press Sports S¥riter.) HILADELPHIA, September 21— | Perhaps the sons of wealthy | | families do not turn out to be better foot ball players | those who are obliged now and then to toil for a living. but they cer- tainly are easier on the mind of a coach. hought belongs to Lou Young. eaded, kindly leader of Penn- gridiron forces. It comes of | association through the past 10 or 15 years with both types of young men on foot ball fields and off. He ex- plains it this way: “You never worry in the off season about a boy whose parents are wealthy because you know he is somewhere out in the open, getting sunburned and | husky, building in_healthy leisure for the rugged work of the Fall. The ath- | lete who has to work in the off-sezson may be cramped over a desk and return e | to college all tired out. “The wealthy youngster comes back to foot ball in great shape. ready for play. When the season is over you forget about him until the next Fall rolls around. Source of Worry. “But consider the other fellow. You worry about whether he has a job and can return to college all right. If he hasn't a job, you get him one. When college opens you must see that the work he does is swapped off against foot. ball, so that he gets the most good in both directions.” Coach Young. busy now since Sep- tember 4 building a team that has -aught his imagination and lifted his hoves for a championship eleven to rew heights, also knows what has hap- sened to all the reserve material miss- g on so many prominent Eastern grid- 15 this Fall.
