There were thirty students to offer their services to prospects for a the school, and among these were only three veterans. Many of the most prom- ising new men were found to be inmates of the “Hospital for Intellectual Crip- ples.” However, as those that were left have proved very capable, we may look for rattling good games against “Tech” iT tit. ie i! 4 aa Mh ol Da and Western.

24 THE EASTERNER know that you are behind it and wishing for its success. This year we have something that we have never had before: a freshmen team. It is a known fact that a fresh- man cannot play on a varsity team until his second semester. Now in order to Jet the new fellows learn something of the game and help the school at the same time, a freshman team has been formed. It will be coached by “Bill McCaffrey and will scrimmage against the varsity twice a week, thereby helping greatly to get the first team into shape Mr. Kimble, the new faculty athletic instructor, is an excellent man and a good coach. He is what the boys call’ “a good fellow.” I am sure that we all wish him a great success at Eastern. The candidates for the varsity team are: R. Clark (Capt.), G. Ellis (Mgr), Dyer, J. Baldwin, Goebel, Fisher, Lana- han, Steltz, Boteler, D. Gates, J. Thor- nett, Flaherty, Whalen, Garmen, Gwinn, Jonscher, McElhannon, Ledoux, Maier, Roddy, Speer, Knapp, Janezeck, Horn, H. Hill, Turpin, Walsh, Brown, E. Burns, R. Baldwin, Barr, H. Graves, Hunt, Fes- senden, and Dade. Eastern played a practice game with St. Albans, Friday, Oct. 9th. Although gaining three yards to St. Albans’ one, Ksastern lost, on account of fumbles. The score was 12 to 0. Those who took part were: Ends, Mc- Elhannon and ‘Thornett; tackles, Gwinn and Ledoux; guards, Maier and Knapp; center, Graves ; full back, Clark (Capt.) ; half backs, Goebel and Dyer; quarter- back, Baldwin. Another practice game was played with Army Navy Preps on Oct. 16, East- ern winning 13 to 0. ‘Those who played were: Ends, McElhannon and Thornett; tackles, Gwinn and Ledoux; guards, Maier and Knapp; center, Graves; full back, Brown; halves, Goebel and Dyer; quarter, Baldwin. Substitutions, Clark for Brown. The schedule for the rest of the year is as follows: Oct. 28. Georgetown Preps. 30, Wester: Noy. 10. Business. » 20. Central. 21. Charlotte Hall. Eastern lost the first game of the scholastic season to Tech, 13-0. The in- experience and lightness of the team gave Tech a decided advantage, by which, however, they did not seem to profit. Coach Hart, of ‘lech, was quoted, after the game, as saying something to the ef- fect, “That Tech should have scored four or five touchdowns more.” This in it- self is a splendid tribute to the gameness and pluck of the Capitol Hill boys. They fought hard all the way, This is shown in the fact that they held Tech for downs three times when only a short run would have put the ball over. ‘The lineup and summary follow : Eastern: Tech: Thornett. coclks Diseiy oy son plete Giitititeceence Tip poccersvesisws Young Knapp see = Lake Girt +...
