HMMD TECH PUTS FOOTBALL TEAM IN FIELD

BY R. 1L E. The day has passed when Hammond followers of the favorite fall pastime of football will have to satisfy themselves with but one high school grid team, as the organizing of the Hammond Technical high school has placed two academic elevens upon local gridirons. The Hammond Technical high school is an out-growth of the Hammond vocational school, and immediately upon organization it waa decided to have said institution represented, from the beginning by the four major high school sports, namely: Football, basketball, base ball and track. At present those In charge of athle. tics, are hard at work to round out a football team that will be representative of such an institution and under the tutorage of R. M. Smith, head coach and A. E. Rhlnd, assistant coach, thirty-five men have teen reporting daily for practice at Harrison park. The two coaches have both had college varsity football experience and are capable of handling the work placed before them. Smith, who is the athletic director, hails from Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois, where he competed on the var

the New Yorkers crossed the Hammond line in the second quarter, but in the last half constantly threatened to even the score. Buffalo papers declare that Hammond outplayed the home team In the second half of the game. Buffalo was forced to kick out from behind its goal line repeatedly. Doc Toung, owner of the Hoosier club, was thrown down at the last minute by two of his players. Johnny Kyle of Gary and Burke of Purdue, who Jumped the team to accept more tempting offers. In order to leave Hammond and join the Gary Elks, Kyle broke a written contract with Doc Young for the season. These two withdrawals left the Hammond club crippled for Its opening game. Also It had not had sufficient practice. Doc Young Is getting his men down to business this week with nightly workouts. Friday and Saturday afternoons the entire squad will go through stiff scrimmage at Harrison park. Young is especially pleased with the showing of Frank Rydzewskl. the 220-pound tackle from South Chicago, and Lloyd Cearing. former Hammond high school star. Rydewski Is the greatest tackle In the professional game, according to the Buffalo papsrs, who sang his praises loudly. He made such a favorable impression on the owners of the Buffalo team that they offered him inducements to Join their club. Cearing was a marvel Sunday in running back punts and absolutely fearless against the all-American players on the Buffalo club. Shelbourne, t?le Hammond fullback, is the fastest man In the game, havinga 9 4-5 track record for the 100yard dash.

sity for three years. He received his high school football training for three years on the Galesburg high school eleven. Rhlnd received his early athletic training in the local high school, later attending Knox College, where he competed In various branches of varsity athletics. Authorities at the Technical school are more than pleased with prospects I of turning out a winning team, and they will have the first opportunity to Judge their real strength this com ing Saturday, when the team meets the grid warriors representing Wentworth high school of West Ham mond, on the local high school field. The men have shown a great deal of enthusiasm and pep and are confident of winning the first game. Some of the most promising backfield candidates are T. Boyle, C. Nelson, C. Niedow, R, Scherer, A. Fromme. B. Kronsell. G. Murphy and T. Cook. Of the line candidates, the following have shown the most stuff: Harder. J. Keelor, J. Thompson; L. Klee: M. Calderone; R. Tennyson; L. Strode, and M. Hudak. There are numerous other candidates who will be given an opportunity to break into the lineup some time before the final whistle. The lineup has not j yet been announced. better TurkisI better Virginia better Burley

The game with Wentworth will be called at 2:30 Saturday afternoon on the Hammond high school field. A schedule is being arranged which will include some of the following schools: Moroco. Rensstalaer, Lowell and the local high school.

SGATENA-BERWYH E WILL PULL Sunday's football game at Harrison perk between the famous Hammond Scatenas and the Berwyn Sports will be one of the real matches of the season. The Bewryn eleven Is considered to be the best middle weight team In Illinois. Last year the visiting team went through the season with but one defeat In ten starts, and this season they have two victories chalked up to their record. Both contests were won by wide margins so that the Scatenas will be in for one busy afternoon. A win for the Hammond aggregation will put the locals in the limelight, and if Coach Jones can keep his men in shape the Scatenas will be able to show a formidable front. Eighteen men turned out last night for the most strenuous workout the Scats have had this season. For two solid hours the players were up and down the field, passing, tackling and learning new formations. Coach Jones ironed out the few faults he found In the Crescent game and the men responded to the long grilling without a murmer. If last night's relentless drill is to be considered, there Is a strong indication that the Scatenas "will use two seta of backfield material in every game. The first choice, a back field that once performed in wonderful style for the Hammond high school consists of Warne, Daniels Schillo and Shanks. Howat, who Is at present a student at Northwestern, is a promising candidate for an alternate at quarter, and as soon as the "medic" gets on to the signals he will be a hard man to keep on the sidelines. The Sider-backer brothers are regarded as two of the speediest grid performers in Hammond and their worth will bear watching. The Scatena line as a whole is the same every year, a stone wall of brawn, some beef, and a great deal of ability. The guards and tackles are in every play, while the ends ore always watching for the passes. The Scatenas have numerous offers to play out of town, such teams as Michigan City, Fort Wayne, South Bend, and the Lowell American Legion are desirous of :getting the locals away from their home lot, but Business Manager Lou Cantwell has turned them all down In order that Hammond fandom may be given a chance to support their one real home town club. The fact that - over 5.000 people were out to witness the first 'big game of the season is an indication that Hammond is hungry for football, and the local aspirants will give the best that is in them if the football fans do likewise. Hammond has supported some wonderful teams in the past, and this year's Scatenas aggre'gatlon deserves the support of every sport loving man and woman in town. T STAR SIGNS WITH DODGERS ELEVEN By LARRY GEORGE Walter Conroy, East Chicago's youthful grid star who played half back on the profesa:onal Pullman Panther eleven last Sund-ay, jas forsaken the tough money game for the lesa strenuous amateur side of the pastime. He Joined the East Chicago outfit. During the chin-wag the writer had with him last Monday night, he revealed the peculiar psychology and the difficult routine of the professional football player. He said: "A young fellow on a professional team of the Panther clasa has no chance to really enjoy the game. He Is used all the time until he is all in. Then they yank him for a fresh man. He is being paid to play and, believe me, they get their money's "worth out of him! "Then. too. a professional man playing before a moneyed grandstand of strangers hasn't the pep and snap that a fel'ow has when he plays on his home team before the people that have jknown him since he was a kid. "And there Isn't the gory iattached to a professional win that attends the victories of an amateur outfit. A win or a lose is all in the day's work of a pro man. "Another bad feature of my personal case is the fact that I have a good Job which occupies much of my time. Part of the money a professional team pays a man to play goes for the heavy practice sessions that are held five nights a week. "After a hard day's work at my Job I have to hop on a car for Pullman, where ftie Panthers practice sometimes until midnight.' "When this happens any too often you can imagine the severe strain It puts on the vitality of a young fellow not yet fully matured. "No, I think I'll stay in the amateur field with the boys I have known all 'iiy life. At least until I am a few years older. Then I shall be strong enough to stand up under the hard gaff of professionalism." v The news of Conroy's addition to the Dodgers created a sensation among the team's backers and followers. Without a doubt. It gives Coach Pat McShane in Williams and 'unrnv two of the best weltA-wei yVi t i backfield men of this neck of the state.

cago high school, and Walt Piper, for years the star tackle of the Gophers, will both be on the Dodger's line next Sunday, with McShane at end and Piper at tackle. The Dodgers are quickly shaping up into one of the best welterweight teams that has ever represented East Chicago. They have Joined that division of the Mid-West league. And they are already rated among the best l'n the class by opposing managers. Jones is trying to bring out a strong club for next Sunday's game at the fight arena. Further develorments will be announced later in the. week. COLUMBIAS PLAY NEXT SATURDAY The curtain will fall on the most successful end exciting base ball season In city history next Saturday afternoon, the occasion to be marked most appropriately by a game between the Columbia A C. of West Hammond and the Hammond Colonials. The Columbia A C. pride of West Hammond, our sister city, and sponsors of a base ball team which ranks with any outside the big leagues, (purely a West Hammond expression) are going to meet up with a proposition which gives early promise of bringing on an afternoon of real entertainment. Bill Newman. "Sky" Meyers, Babe Simon and others are going to furnish the opposition, and that opposition promises to worry the West Hammondites to the fullest extent. Both the Colonials and the Columblas are members of the Inter-State League and might have hooked up In a much earlier contest had they so desired, but they didn't do It Just for the eamo reason that Yale does not meet Harvard at football in October instead of late in Nocember; and football enthusiasts never looked forward to a scheduled contest on the gridiron with more pleasurable anticipation than do followers of the Colonials and Columblas look ahead to the Saturday game in West Hammond. Truly the winners of this conflict will have something to crow over, for they will have proved Incorrect the predictions of the entire following of the opposition besides ailencing, until next year at least, the loud acclaim of their rivals in their boasts of supremacy In local base ball circles. The season's record of the Columblas. a compilation of wins and losses, isn't enviable, but they have played among the fastest of the Inter-State leaguers and have been continually hampered by the coming and going of their strongest players. In the two occasions wherein the Colonials and Columbias have played identical teams, the Colonials have the least bit of an edge, as the dope runs. The Chicago Red Sox beat the West Hammond team decisively, but were forced to their limit In beating the Colonials at Harrison park, as eye witnesses at that contest can testify. On the other occasion from which a comparison of the strength of the two teams can be drawn, the Columbias traveled 16 Innings before emerging victorious over the Whiting Red Crowns, and a week or two later the Colonials mado themselves solid by romping to a 16 to 2 win over the same club. However, don't bet your entire future on the strength of those past Incidents. The Columbias are now stronger than at any time during the past season, due to the recent return of a few of their members who play minor league base ball during the summer months. The Colonials opened the season with a game April 16th, and have played games on each and every Sunday since then, with' the exception of two postponements on May 7th and Sept. 10, and In addition several holiday games were played, and one double header. Practically the 6ame lineup appeared for contests on twenty-six different occasions, and of those twenty-six contests, twenty were won and six lost. The team played on no regular pre-arranged schedule, and the fact that there was no break In the string of successive games is due entirely to the energy and alacrity of a hard working manager. Bakalar is credited with seven wins: Zolla, 6; Simon, 6. and Morgan. 2. The staging of a Saturday afternoon base ball game has been threatened by the town's headllners several times this season, but It has worked out that the day is to be honored in that way Just once, and it is the closing date of the season. The game will probably attract the people who usually leave town Sunday afternoons besides the regular Sunday afternoon gathering. Interest in the game over in W.vt Hammond is said to be so great that authorities are about to declare a half holiday for Saturday. S.O. ATHLETIC 'S . SPECIAL TO THE TIMES WHI'ii-SG. Jna.. Oct. 6. At a regular meeting of the Standard Oil Athletic Association held Monday evening, the followin officers were elected for the ensuing year: J. C. Melvin, president; L. C. Moore, first vice president; H. D. tudabaker, second vice president; L. M. Graham, secretary; R. N. Brown, treasurer. The retiring officers have put the association on a solid footing, leaving $1,000 in the treasury to start the season's activities and the incoming officers pledged themselves to equal the record of the past year. The following sports will be sponsored by the association: Base, ball, basket ball, bowling, boxing and wrestling, golf, tennis, trap shooting, hose shoes.

Last Sunday the Warrens defeated the well-known All Stars of Logan Square by a drop kick In the first quarter. After the first quarter neither team scored, leaving the score 3 to 0 in favor of the Warran A. C. So in taking on the visitors the champs are taking on one of the leading contenders for the cup. The visitors have chartered four buses for tha occasion. The East Chicago Gophers will play all tholr games at home. At a meeting last night, the subject of Insuring the men was brought up. If the men are Insured, which is more likely than not, the East Chicago team will be the only club in The Mid-West league to be protected in this way. Last Sunday for the benefit of the nrany fans that braved the hot sun to walk down to the arena, the Gophers Put on some fast signal drills, punting, forward passes and end runs.

no matter when they play I will always be there. This is the attitude the East Chicago fans take, which shows that the East Chicago fans have much sporting blood In them.

I one great tning was the presence of the fair sex. The park at 1:30 p. m. looked like a fashion show all the young ladles tried to outrival each other in the way of style and dress. It was too had the weather wasn't a little cooler so the fair ones could bring out their furs. Next Sunday will sac more of the ladies at a football game than heretofore. The Goodfollow Club from the North Side of East Chicago has an auxiliary which Is comr-osed of twelve of the most popular younr ladies of the Twin Cities. They will be headed by their president, who will have charge of the girls who have been picked for the cheers. The Goodfellows will be on one side, and the auxiliary will be on the other side.

Bobby Darrow Is the best quarter back in this part of the country. The only quarter back who can take a bunch of green men and Inside of two weeks can have a finished team. We have the 217-pound marvel known as the "Beast Garvey" of the Mid-West Football league. Ha has been named Garvey on account of his build, size and looks. He is a ringer for the great Garvey. At present the real Garvey is starring on the big Chicago Bear dut. Buckeye Koster. the Rock of Glbralter, will hold his last year1 position. Ditto, christened the strong man of Hie Twin Cities, will be on the line. Geo. Mastey. better known as Iron Sides, will be In the lineup beside Koster. Williams, Rhodes and Bahll are a few others who fit In the lineup. Our ends have no equals, Cleary, Stltoh Rider, Herbie HiU and Lloyd. Shorty Long, the ladies' choice, will assist in the quarter back position. Shorty is the youngster who made a 90yard line un through the heavy weight White Eagles last season. Most of the credit goes to Coach Graves, who knows more football in one minute than many know in a life time. When Graves gets through with the Gophers, there will be one of the most finished teams on a football field. Coach Graves coached the Morocco high school to u. championship. Prominent men In Hammond in all professions, at one time or another came under the eye of Attorney G-aves. He Is giving up two and three hours of his time dally, whlcn means much money to him. to that the Gopher get out another championship club. The kick-oft will be promptly at 2:30.
