High Schools Football Prospects Better Than for Several Years.

The close of the first week of high school has given the football enthusiasts an opportunity to look over the field and take a little stock for the approaching season. It seems that a squad of nineteen has decided to come out and there are sufficient of the old men to give hope that a victorious team can be developed. Don Beam was elected captain at the end of last season, while John Hemphill, Jim Ellis, Leo Colvert, Chas. Porter, Virgil Robinson and Clarence 'Smith are all holdovers from last year. Among the new ones are Fred Hamilton, Orth McCarthy, Paul Miller, Sam Duvall, Ed Honan, John Moore. Ed Parkison and others. Practice will begin shortly and the new rules, which involves a large number of changes, will be studied carefully as the practice goes forward. The high school was suspended last year from the state association for alleged playing of disqualified men on the high school team and unless this matter can be adjusted the games that the team playß will have to be with teams outside of the association. It is believed, however, that the high school will be reinstated' and thus all teamß in the association will be possible opponents.
