Inti., Sept. 15. —Under the most favorable \reather conditions, sixty-five players teed off today in the medal play of the national professional golfers’ tournament.

[TECH PROSPECTS GLOW FOR ANOTHER WINNER Coach Mueller Has Many Holes to Fill, but He Is Not Worrying—‘Army’ of Candidates. BY DICK MILLER Technical High School expects to have another winning grid squad this fall, in spite of the fact eleven regulars graduated since last season when the team easily annexed the city title. Tech looks for another championship because of the confidence instilled in the team by its head coach, J. A. Mueller, 'and the fact the school has equipment and plenty of material.

Mueller is assisted in the handling I of the 100 football aspirants by W. E Cleveland, X. O. Chenowith and William Lampert. From last year's team Mueller has Clift, end. who is a real end, and in better condition J this fall thanllas;s f ; Harrell, a half back, who was one of the outstanding players of last year’s championship team; Hicks, a guard, and Babcock, a tackle. Four letter men left would cause most coaches to wail, but Mueller is different than most coaches. He does what he thinks coaches are paid to and new stars. Glancing over some of the possible men for the team this year, you soon will reach the conclusion that Tech will have beef on the field, not the kind that waddles down the gridiron, but the kind that is powerful. The line material stacks up like this; Wilson, 180; McCalip. ITS; Barnes, 179; Martin, 176; Mitchell, 208: Wehrel. 178: Bauermeister. 190; Ringwalt, 175; Hagaman. 170, and Hicks and Hawkins. All these men are harl hitters and tackle In fairly j good early season form. Clift will take care of one of the wing positions and his tackling Is ; , the same deadly variety as of past seasons. The other wing position will develop a battle among Jonnson. 155; Jordon, 135; Kirgls, 135; Kauser, 160, and Fultz, 167. Johnson seems to have the most experience, but at least three of the rath era will give him opposition. The center position is giving Mueller worry at this time, as the Io3S of Hank Gordon left a real hole Special coaching may make ‘he grade for Travis, 155; Clark, 160, to I the fir3t team, but it is thought Mueller eventually will make a pivot man out of some of his giant line material. Clark appears as though he might make a wing man. Needs Backs Probably the real worry' confronting the east side mentor is the task of welding together a back field. He has one good man left in Har rell. First of all he will have to develop a quarterback. Garrison graduated, as did Scearcy. Bailey is about the most likely looking candidate, but seems to be hurt easily. This handicaps a team’s chances. He weighs 155 and is fast. Jackson 135, is another good candidate. He is a sure tackier. Meyer and Wehrel hope to get a chance to be among the ten whom Mueller is going to give chances with the varsity material. A lanky boy from Post La Vac, Texas, named Van Arsdall. 160, is out and determined to get a halfback position. He can run, but will have to hit harder if he expects to nudge one of the ithe-r many candidates from a place. Hicks, Schofield, Hickman, Bray, Stevenson. Leet, Reise and a young fellow from Culver named Fletcher are all sure they will be the outstanding .player for the other two back field places. At any rate there is no Rush in the back field this year and little chance there will be. For a fullback a glance at the material would con- | vince any one that Mueller is going * to have to make a full back of one of those linemen. Out-of-State Games Mueller Is optimistic and insists the two games with teams out of State will reveal he has a powerful squad. Steele of Dayton, Ohio, and Male High of Louisville are on the schedule again this year. He insists -eivUe he will have to develop

almost anew team, and then pick out reserve power, he will stiii have about four men for each position on the sidelines. Tech has ninety-six uniforms in use now with a large number of candidates waiting for more. Mueller said it was his hope to issue twentynine more uniforms and bring the squad up to 125. He then will divide :he squad into groups and in that way weed out what he does want ( and send the balance to the assistant coaches. The first Tech game occurs Sept. 26. and there isn’t a student on the Tech grounds that isn’t willing to bet his hat that Mueller, the title i winner for Tech, will make Elwood.

Feature Games of the Past —Sept. 15. 1912 —— WOOD WINS HIS SIXTEENTH STRAIGHT Boston’s pennant and world championship flag in, 1912 were won very largely by the pitching of Joe Wood.
