Redskins Short of Time for Play, But They Get Ahead Just the Same

By TOM OCHILTREE The torch of a gallant gridiron

tradition is being carried proudly]

at Emmerich Manual Training High School by a group of boys who are trying to make up in versatility what they lack in numbers.

It isn't a big team, even as high school football squads go. string line has an average weight of only 174 pounds per man, while the backfield average is 158 pounds. These boys have enough dig in and shove spirit, though, to make up for that,

Many Are Employed

But Coach Harry Painter and the players themselves realize that they are going to have to face a ninegame schedule with only a handful of reserves. The will and the spirit is there at Manual. When the call for football candidates was issued 46 boys showed up and drew uniforms. A large percentage of these lads hate to work to help pay their school expenses, and reporting for practice every night is a luxury they can't afford. Consequently, it is a big afternoon when they get 30 boys on the field and the average turnout is 25 or less. This situation has produced some

The first]

are happy that this will be the first time in 10 years that the Manual lads have tackled a nine-game schedule. It follows: Sept. 22—Indiana State School for the Deaf at Manual. Sept. 29—Manual at Park School. Oct, 6—Warren Central at Manual. Oct. Oct. Oct, Nov, Nov.

13—Manual at Technical. 20—Manual at Broad Ripple. 25—Westfield at Manual. 23—Cathedral at Manual. 10—Washington at Manual. Nov. 17—Southport at Manual. The State Deaf School and Park are new additions to the Red and White's game budget. For persons who remember the days when the rivalry between Manual and Shortridge was one of the high points on the City's athletic calendar, it seems odd to find that these traditional foes aren't meeting. This situation has prevailed for the last three years, chiefly because the schools [can’t reach an agreement on what (the price of tickets should be. Southport Is Close Rival

Within recent years sports-con-scious Southport has come along to become quite a rival for Manual. The two schools are relatively close together, and the territories from which these institutions draw pupils

use a shift for the first time in recent years. This increases the team’s striking power, but such maneuvers require longer hours of practice. No Time to Waste

Acting on the assumption that

they haven't any time to waste, the boys ran through their drills on hot days clad in shorts of many hues, which gave the line a rather striking appearance when it was crouched for the charge. At Manual you earn a letter by persistence, regardless of the time you spend in varsity games. The squad this year has six returning lettermen: Robert Timmons, fullback; Allen Smith, left halfback; Harcld Overton, tackle; Gilbert Mordoh, guard; Clarence Rieper, tackle, and Leonard Robinson, right halfback. Of this list only Overton. Mordoh and Robinson have seen much action in games.

First Spring Players The first string backfield consists of Herbert Bogard, quarterback; Smith, Timmons and Robinson, Bernard Davis and Robert Linson are backfield replacements, In the line the starters are expected to be Mathews and Chester Ventress, ends; Overton and Rieper, tackles; Frank Funk and Mordoh, guards, and Richard Kattau, center.

Peter Astra Eligible

One of the features on Tuesday's card will be the championship stallion stakes for three-year-olds of both gaits. Peter Astra, winner of the Hambletonian this year, is one of the 23 colts eligible to start in the $7000 trotting division of these stakes. Purses of the staliion stake ‘or pacers is $150). A $600 added handicap trot for horses with records of 2:04 or faster also is to be held, and Greyhound, the greatest star of all, is to run an exhibition mile. This big gelding, owned by E. J. Baker, St. Charles, Ill, and driven by Sep Palin, holds the world's trotting mark of 1:55%. Dean Hanover, with a present record of 1:58!z, is| to attempt to break the world’s stallion trotting mark of 1:58'4 posted in 1916 by Lee Axworthy.

Single Stine Moves On

Originally it was planned to hitch | Single Stine and Green Valley together for a run against time in the hope they could break the present hitched pacing mark of 2:02 made by George Gano and Minor Heir in 1912. Green Valley still is here, but Single Stine has moved on to other tracks. If a partner can be found for Green Valley, the hitched pacing attempt still may be made, it was said. Tickets for the racing program can be obtained at L. 8S. Ayres & Co.; 34 N. Pennsylvania St. and in the Indianapolis Junior Chamber of Commerce offices.

COSTS OF CITY SUPPLIES RISE

Contract Bidders Notify Losche of Increases Now Effective.

Albert H. Losche, City purchasing agent, today received letters from concerns which bid on City supplies advising him of increased prices on commodities, effective immediately. In some instances, he said, concerns would quote only estimates, intimating prices would fluctuate teo rapidly for quotation. Prices of medical supplies anc surgical instruments are going up sharply, Mr. Losche siad. Most.surgical instruments are imported from Germany and France, he said, and imports have virtually ceased. The City annually buys between $6000 and $7000 worth of medical supplies for City Hospital and clinics. A 33 per cent increase has been noted in prices quoted on wool blankets, linens, sheeting and enamelware, most of which goes to City Hospital, Mr. Losche said. Copper and lead supplies, he said, also are rising in price. These are used for the City Signal Department. The City is protected against rising coal, oil, gasoiine and asphalt prices by year contracts until next May, he said. Mayer Reginald H. Sullivan and City Controller James E. Deery have indicated they would oppose attempt to cut the City’s 1940 budget because of the possibility of price rises.
