They are j out for the championship again this i year and will endeavor to at least equal the record made by tho team last season. The group pictured above is as follows from left to right: Front row, Rees, Garret. Wilsbach, Lingle, Beck, Malick. Si.cond row, Foland, Emanuel, Matter, . Arnold, Pleam, Smith, Captain Frank. Third row< Books, Foehl, Huber, McCord, Al dinger, Ellinger, Marcus. Fourth row, Beasor Black, Gotshall, Ziegler, Ellis, Erdley, Rlcedorf, Manges. Fifth row, Palin, Hoffman, Eaton, Shue, Taylor, Germer and Fair. On the left is pictured the back field of the Technical High School football team that proved such a wrecking crew in all of the con tests last year. Three of the play ers were members of tha aggrega tion hqt wn the championship from all-comers. Garrett is the new lad in the backfleld. Left to right they are: Wilsbach, Beck, Garrett and Lingle. Wilsbach Is noted for his line plunging and great defensive work when Tech's opponents have the pigskin. Beck is given credit by Spalding for being the best high school athlete in the United States. He is a second Jim Thorpe when it cames to versatility. Garrett has played at center, but this season Coach Smith shift ed him to the backfleld. "Buddie" Lingle is the last of the quartet. He can slip through the smallest hole in the line, and is a regular speed boy. Last year he was cap tain of the basketball quintet that won the State championship. Tech never had a better backfleld than pictured here, and it will be many a year until the like is seen I on a local football eleven.

Lebanon Valley College to Start Next Saturday Annvillc, Pa., Sept. 27.—The sec ond week of the college team saw Lebanon Valley's candidates hard at work in preparation for the opening of the football season with the game with Villanova College at Lebanon on October 4. The strenuous work out which Coach Paul L. Strickler has given the men has furnished him with some idea as to the probable line-up for the initial contest one week hence. With the return to the college this week of five more varsity players, both the line and the backfleld posi tions were considered as strength ened, while two ex-service men, who have re-enrolled at this institution, Larew, the 204-pound tackle, and Shetter, a fast end and basketball player, will bolster up considerably the forward positions. Harvey, the | hard-hitting halfback of the S. A. T. C. team here last year, and Giles, I tackle of the same team, both of !whom hale from Hazleton, Pa., ar rived here and registered as students during the early part of the week and already seem to be in form tor the opening of the season.
