4 (By The Apprentice school football snusd will be ready for the opening game at Randolph-Macon next Saturday. While the team which will start the game has not been selected the scrlm-nmges showed two elevens aTiie to play good football. Veterans on the squad who expect to hold places on the first team are Hogge, Hanna, Franltie, Shelton, Rutter, Morris, Keith, Rust, Lincoln, 1-anltford and from last year's substitutes Glmpet, Evans, Petty, Bryant, Horner, Craig and others. The season is too young to pass Jugdment on the first year men but the showing of Chrletlansen, Morrison, Schmidt, and several others is encouraging. With a well balanced college trained coaching staff Indications are that the boys will develop a strong defensive game and an Improved offensive at tack.

The box formation backfleld and jump shift' which has been the Apprentice haaio style will be varied with other formations and shifts. If the equad continues to Improve as it should the Apprentice followers can look forward to one of the best seasons. The Apprentice school band which made Its appearance last year has made remarkable progress under the lender- ship of Mr. Davidson, and wtll be an added attraction at the football games this year.

19, P. I. opened its 1925 football season by downing Lynchburg College 10 to HIS SCALPED School in Virginia positions seem to be about the best ever gotten together at the local field. There is a number of candidates out for each position, and every man Is putting out every ounce of energy he can muster in an effort to land a berth on varsity. Regulars back from last season are "Casey" Jones, quarterback; Bic Curtis and Rbsenberger, halfs, and Malcolm, fullback.

This quartet, known as the midget back-field, has established an enviable record and it is going to oe a mighty hard fight on the part of any candi date to oust these sturdy youngsters. One of the outstanding candidates for a backfield berth is Meredith Fox, from last year's scrub squad. Although playing in a number of cham pionship games last fall Fox failed to get a letter. Fox is a sure ground gainer, a good punter, possesses lots speed, is a hard man to stop, and it expected that he will be one- of the main cogs in the offensive combination of this season's gridiron machine. A week of hard practice lies ahead ot the candidates, in order to per fect the plays for the coming battle Friday, as well as to round them into top condition.

A warm reception awaits the lads from the Goober city and it is expected that when the whistle sounds for. the kick-off, the Shipbuilders will have one of the the strongest teams on the field that ever wore the moleskins of the local high school.

One of Fastest of any Newport News officially, Individually and collectively will throw aside thoughts of a past summer and of joys under a July moon to turn once again to the Itirring days of autumn with its: pageantry of bright colors and thunderous cheering sections and to declare subservience to the pagan rule of football on next Friday afternoon when Newport News high school wilt entertain Petersburg at the high athletic Held, in what may not be the greatest game of the Season but which will contain all the ingredients of the fall sport.

In the vernacular of the commonplace, the "lid" will be oft next Friday and the fandom of Newport News, to whpm the most thrilling thing in daily exi: sj)ee is the sight of two bulkily pad Jed teums putting their all in vicious thrusts at each other, will not have a weary moment from then un til the chill of a day in late November has thrust aside the last perfumed winds of mid-fall. Between the school and the Apprentice school, Newport News will be visited by a football game nearly every week end, and although there are to be, no college games this year, the loss will not be felt as keenly as was felt last year. At the liigh school preparations are going forward rapidly for the lid-opener. The field will be put in shape during the coming week and the bleachers will be placed on the west side of the field. Season tickets are wiling rapidly in the school and ef-K rt is heimr made to sell a large number in the city.

As a forerunner of that herculean effort the first call for practice was issued on September 1 and since that day Coach "Red" Joyner has been hammering allof his fonfhoii fcrinwlprlfffL into the various candidates for his team with a thoroughness calculated to produce the most results.

All games, starting on wnn tne Petersburg game of Friday, that are to be played on the home field, will start at 3U0 o'clock in order that they may be completed before dark. This is the announcement last night from Prof. Fred Alexander, principal of the high school. From present- Indications if hard practice has anything to do with it-Monk White and Assistant Coach Charles Hoster will send a team to meet Petersburg that will be In fairly good condition and will hayfi a fair amount of team work.

This year the local coaches were fortunate in having most of last year's regulars return to ie fold along with excellent reserve 'material that is expected to ive the regulars somewhat of a run For their money before the season is through. Captain "Jake" Davis, at center, will in all probabilities be the lightest man in the Shipbuilders' line, -but his speed, aggressiveness and keen knowledge of the game will offset any disadvantage that might arise in that quarter. Around this veteran linesman Coach White hope's to build the strongest eleven that ever wore Old Gold and Dark Blue colors. Blake Cameron and Shelby Curtis, guards from last year's varsity, are back in harness, and are displaying the same fighting spirit that marked their brilliant work last season. Botn of these men are heavy and have the pep and enthusiasm that should rank them with the best linesmen in the StThe loss of Mirmelsteln at tackle Vi a severe blow to the locals, dui dging from the wealth of materia! vieing for the opening ieii uy graduation, a likely candidate can be found to plug up the hole.

The most promising youngsters out for this position thus far appear to be Fuzzy Wood. De Alba and Hooper. The return of Gray takes care of the other tackle position. Gray has had lots of experience at tackle, ana his performance this season should be the best of his career. Gray is known as a sure tackier and a fighter that figures in every play.

The loss of Captain "Josh" from last year's varsity will surely weaken the left end. as Howell was rated as one of the best wingmen in state last season. Howell was a player and a leader that any eleven would be mighty glad to have. To fill hi3 position will be about the hardest task confronting the locil mentor, although a number of likely candidates are showing up splendidly for the berth. Berkley will probably take care of the other wing position, having earned a letter last year at that berth.

Berkley is a fast man, a good tackier and one that can break 'hrotigh the interference with apparent ease. The brickfield, although very light, will undoubtedly be one of the fast combinations in -the state. The varsity backs from last year have been working out each afternoon since the opening ol practice and appear to be fast rounding into tip top form.
