Manual Training Coaches Have Likely Bunch of Football Candidates
FORTY ANSWER FIRST CALL FOR GRID PRACTICE A T SOUTH SIDE SCHOOL Manuals Line Probably Will Be Heavy and Early Indications Are That a Fast Team Will Be Developed by Coaches Banner and Swanson. By HEZE CLARK While the heat was such that it would make one think of playing baseball or plunging into the river for a swim, forty Manual Training High School athletes went through a long football practice at Garfield Park yesterday afternoon. Eighty-seven have signed for the squad. Hugh F. Bannen and Carl E. Swanson are the Manual Training coaches. Bannen is supposed to be “head coach,” but he explained after practic by saying, “We don't have a head coach at Manual; Swanson and I just team together to try and make a winning football combination.” Bannen drills the back field men, Swanson the line men and ends. While the Manual squad had two light workouts early this week, still yesterday really marked the start of football practice.
Manual will have a team with plenty of weight, but it is too early to determine just how the south side team will compare in weight with either Shortridge or Technical. The three teams will not differ much in weight, however. It appears that Manual's weight will be on the line. The backs, while good husky boys, are not exceptionally heavy. William Mussman, weighing 217 pounds, is the largest athlete playing j football at any Indianapolis high j school. He was worked at guard yes- | terday, but he may be moved out to j a tackle position. Mussman has plenty of height to carry his weight. For a big athlete he charges unusually fast. Several ' boys had a chance to try to muss Mussman up a little yesterday, but Painter was the only one who had much luck in trying to break through the big man. Painter played guard last year at i Manual. He has been shifted to ' tackle this season. He is without question one of the best line men on any high school team in the State. He charged hard and fast yesterday in scrimmage. The other tackle position is causing the south side coaches worry just now. Herbst, 197 pounds, is a tackle pos-! sibility or he could be used at guard. Henry Hebert and Lambert will be tried out at tackle. Hulbarder, who was a second team line man last year , at Manual, should make good on the first team this season. Carl Howard, Robert Alley, and Joe , Strickland are all trying for position ] on Manual's football team. Volrath is a line man who is a fair punter, and this kicking ability may help him land a regular job on the j varsity eleven. The truth is Manual : is in a bad way for a punter. Both ; coaches admitted one of their big prob- ; lems would be the developing of a kicker who can punt, and kick field j goals. Floyd at Center Floyd of last year's team seems to solve the problem at center. He Is tall enough, heavy enough and has plenty of speed and experience. He passes well and in tackling practice yesterday he downed the back field men in far better style than any other man who was given an opportunity to tackle. The strong point of Manual’s team last year was the ends. James Huber and Charles McNeeley, last year’s regular wing men, are again on the ' job. Charles Becker who was a reg- ; ular early in the season and was in- j jured in an early season game and not used in the more important contests, is back this year. The regular ends will have trouble holding their positions at Manual for Charles Courin, Fred Braum, Sam Glazier, and Ted Martin all are trying for end po : sitions, and all have good chance to ; make the first team. Hutton of last year’s squad is be- ! ing worked at full back. Higgs, a new man, is his rival for the full back i position. Three half backs, by' their work so! far this season, appear to be the men who will be almost sure to make the regular team. Stewart, Cederholm and Comiskey are' the half backs. Stewart was half back and captain last year at Manual. No captain has been chosen at Manual this year, John Scott and Noll are also being tried at j half back. Manual has two quarter backs in Boyd Courin and Horace Oglesby, who could be used at half back. Both are good men at carrying the ball. Another quarter back is Markey Snodgrass, a little fellow, who Was a world of speed, can pass the bill either long or short for forward passes. While it is early in the season and a true comparistn of the strength of i the Indianapolis high school teams would be hard to make, it is safe to say Manual will have a strong team, and will make a real fight for not only city honors, but possibly for the State championship. A splendid schedule has been arranged for the Manual team. The schedule follows: Sept. 30, Marion at Marion; Oct. 6, Wabash at AVabash; Oct. 13, game pending; Oct. 21, Central high school at Evansville; Nov. 3. Shortridge; Nov. 10, Greenfield at Greenfield; Nov. 18, Brazil at Brazil; Nov. 29, Technical. Manager K. A’. Ammerman plans to schedule a game on Oct. 13 with come j high school in the northern part of j Indiana. Goshen has asked for this i date and Manual may play that team. No game on Manual’s schedule is attracting more attention than the one with Central high school of I Evansville, to be played next month at the Ohio river city. Central high school was the best team in southern Indiana last year and ranked among the three strongest in the State. This game is one of the most important ever scheduled by Manual and will do much to assisting football critics in naming the State high school champion team at the end of the present season.

OUT East the Baltimore Orioles in the International League have c 1 in c hed another pennant, This makes the "'VSfourth for Jack Dunn and h:s A® ball players. The winning of -jjjlK/i a double-header is on par with ' much of the stuff ANDERSON displayed in the major leagues. It is far ahead of anything in the International. So much so that the other clubs demanded that Dunn clean out his crew. Jack agreed to this and has offered some of the choice stars for sale. Dunn knows how to make a ball player. POP GEERS broke into the limelight again Thursday when he drove Sanardo a mile in 2:02*4. It was over a half-mile track and clips a fourth of a second off the world mark for a gelding pacer on a half-mile oval.

INDIANA COACH STOPS OTF ON WAY TO NEW JOB Pat Herron Expected to Fill Breach Left by Illness of Coach Stiehm. Pat Herron, new head football coach for the 1922 season at T. U. and disciple of Glenn Warner of Pittsburgh, stopped over in Indianapolis today a few minutes on his way to Bloomington where he was to start first practice at Indiana. While here, Herron met eGorge Levis, acting director of athletics, returning from a conference of Big Ten executives at Chicago. Levis confirmed reports of his resignation as basket-ball coach, but local alumni are said to have received assurance that he will not retire until the end of the next basket-ball season. Following a mass meeting at Bloomington Friday night, it was estimated that between fifty- and 100 candidates would appear on Jordan field for the initial work-out. Telegrams expressing hope for immediate recovery were sent to Jumbo Stiehm who is convalescing in a hospital at Rochester, Minn., after an operation. W. It. Stuart, the alumni athletic committeeman, said much satisfaction was felt over the choice of Herron to coach. AVith the very best coach in the country taking charge in the emergency that exists, too much can not j be expected, Stuart explained, but he j believes that Herron will prove a | happy choice.

YOUNG FILIPINO SATTLESHISWAY TO CHAMPIONSHIP Johnny Buff Takes Count in Eleventh Round After Taking Fearful Beating. By United Nctrs NEW Y'ORK, Sept. 15. —Pancho Villa, demon fighter from the Philippines, won the flyweight championship of America Thursday night by knocking out the title-holder, Johnny Buff in the eleventh round of a scheduled fifteen-round bout at Ebbet’s field, Brooklyn. Buff never hail a chance before the pumelling, flaying onslaught of the invading F.lipino. ILs chief reliance was gameness, but this did not feaze Villa, who used every blow known to boxing and threw in a few of his own particular brand to celebrate the occasion. Villa took every- round. He whaled haymakers with left and right., shot speedy left one-twos cracking to the ribs, smashed Buff on the Jaw twice with the same left-hand lunge frequently- and lifted mighty wallops Irom the floor into uppercuts. At long-range fighting he broke down Buffs guard with sheer strength and at infighting he soon had the champion groggy. Buff was a pitiable spectacle as he came up for the tenth round. He was bleeding from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth and his body was smeared. He was flopped three time,s in that j round, but in each case crawled to his feet without taking time out. The bell saved hirn from a knockout. At the beginning of the eleventh round Villa sprang from his corner and landed a disastrous right to the jaw. sending Buff into the ropes. Johnny hung on, but Villa battered j him to the canvass, and Buff’s seconds tossed in a towel at the end of twenty- j seven seconds of fighting. Buff weighed 11 -* 1 * and Villa 110. A match with Jimmy- AA'ilde of Great Britain for the flyweight chain j piunship of the world was hung tip s as a prize for the winner. Before; meeting Wilde, however. Villa is ox pected to dispose of Frankie Genaro. another prominent contender for the midget throne.

AVhen Patterson won the British championhip at AVimbledon earlier In the season ho issued a friendly challenge to Tilden, former holder of the title, to meet him and decide the world’s championship. The draw this afternoon brings about what the challenge failed to do. Patterson and Tilden meet In the feature battle of the day, and the odds are all in favor of the American. Because of its international color and its championship flavor, Patterson-Tilden match is ranked afl the feature of the card, but for battling it should have nothing on the other part of the semi-final card between Johnston and Richards. In tennis circles here, which Includes the aristocracy of the suburbs down to taxi drivers and bell hops, It is taken as a. foregone conclusion that Tilden and Johnston will meet tomorrow for the championship and they talk more of tomorrow than today.
