8 FITCHBURG SENTINEL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1944 Large Scale Football Program Is Planned By St. Bernard's; Dooley Sees 66 Players Per Day With the cooperation of the Rev. Daniel A. Crowley, moderator of athletics the local school. Coach Bill Dooley St Bernard's yesterday inaugurated practice, whereby from now until the cold weather seta in more than 132 boys will get the; opportunity to play football at the school's athletic field.

The purpose of the plan is to find talent for next year's varsity. Three games were played yesterday at the field, meaning that barring substitutes, 68 performed. And, according to the Dooley search for talent plan, 66 more, least, will go at it today. All will appear in full uniform, wife one team wearing the regular blue and gold uniforms and the other wearing the white Members of this year's varsity team, some of whom will play to lend a little experience to the games will also serve as officials. Coach Dooley will be on hand at all times and will point out the players' mistakes.

This is probably the most widespread plan in the history of the chool, as far as furnishing good ir eernedi It will uncover material otherwise would probably never go but for varsity sports. It will be a distinct boon to sports interest in the Harvard street institution and should be of tremendous help to Coach Dooley. At the close of the play, which may go to the tournament stage towards the finish, with eliminations taking place, the Seniors, material which will not be around next year, will.Jace the pick of the finest in the entire grouping. The first day was marked by some fine running and in a few instances, some good tackling. Some of the younger teams, inspired by the play of the varsity in the recent Gardner game, the school's first victory in two seasons, displayed some of the first string team's best scoring plays, Some unorthodox football, laterals, short over-the-line passes, and some eood kicking also featured.

In the line, the centers seemed to be of Singer midget calibre and size. As soon as two teams leave the field after performing, two new ones enter. This keeps the afternoon activities moving rapidly. Yesterday, being a rather cool day, was a perfect one for the inauguration of the new everybbdy- play plan.
