The grand total of 505, rolled up in six games, 23 quarters to be exact, against seven by their opponents was attained against high school elevens of ordinary calibre, some in individual ability far above the average. The hope of followers of the tan find blue is a meeting with the winner of the Cook county championship in the heavyweight division. Hyde Paik high school. The Chicago team is regarded on a par with the best in the country and a game with Hyde Park would .attract a mighty crowd to Springbrook park. High school graduates who have seen the Chicago elevens in action say that South Bend's play is far more finished and believe the tan and blue would have better than an even chance of victory. Should Have Trip. The least that is due the boys, their supporters contend, is a good trip. An out-of-town game is one of the delights of high school players, but all of this season's contests, except the first with St. Joseph, have been played at home. The Defiance, O., high school football management made the local school an offer of a game on Thanksgiving day with a guarantee of expenses. The local authorities refused to consider the offer in order "not to break faith with Goshen." It Greater $17 Forget your old impressions of $17 Clothes.

seems when Goshen high asked to be placed on South Bend's schedule for the annual Thanksgiving game, the request was refused on the grounds the high school would not play on Thanksgiving day. The real reason, it is said, lay in the poor opposition afforded by the blue and white in the past few years. Coaching Develops Team. Since 1910 South Bend's reputation in football has gradually increased as the result of efficient coaching. J. B. Miller, physical director of the Y. M. C A. has donated his services to the high school football and basketball teams for several years and has made successes of both. Metzler, another graduate of the Springfield. Mass., Y. M. C. A. Training school, took up the football work where Miller left off and devoting his entire time after school hours to development of the team has turned out the best high school team ever seen in this section of the state. He himself, was a star halfback at Springfield. Metzler found his material to be light but extremely fast. He has worked on that basis and the tan and blue has a world of shifts and trick plays built around the speed of the back field and ends and the forward pass. Linemen Are Fast. The linemen- while not in the whole heavy are fast on their feet and good hard tackier. The best combination around Whitman at center looks like .'..- we and Stanley at the guards and H.roth and Cordier at the tackles. Cordier did not get in .until the second half Saturday, but displayed Tiis worth then. He Is one of the fastest men on the team and while short is powerfully built. Booth is the big man of the team and a hard willing worker. Howe and .Stanley are both strong and possess endurance. Stanley is the best first year man lie has ever worked with. Coach Metzler states. All the backs and ends are hard open field tacklers, getting their men by low fierce dives. It would be hard to pick the best defensive player of the secoi clary defense. The linemen hit low. too.. Whiterr-.ftn hacking up the line at center being the most prominent. Allen Best IIiie Plunger. The best line plunger on the team is Allen. Weighing in the neighborhood of 14." pounds his man hits the line at full speed, picking his holes without hesitation and being one of the hardest men on the team to down. Cornell is next best in tackle and guard plays, but he makes his gains ly following his interference until he reaches the secondary defense when his speed and straight arm serve him in good stead. All the hacks are good open field runners. Nearly every member of the team p!as baseball and all are adept in handling the forward pass ai either end of the play.
