Yesterday Paul Marshal, a post graduate student at the Waterbury High school and candidate for the football team. was practicing at the Atheltic field with the other candi- dates.

Charles Evarts, another High school candidate, had his leg severely wrenched and will not be able to play for some time. The students in general at the High school are manifesting but little interest in the candidates. The candidates show only half-hearted practice. One day they turn out in full numbers, the next day there is hardly a bakers dozen present Captain George Mcdonald is somewhat discouraged and said yester- day that unless eighteen candidates reported for practice to-day there would be no team this season. There is plenty of good material among the students for, a fairly good team, but the players won’t turn out. Attorney Francis Driscoll has been coaching the candidates daily for the past two or three weeks. pr Monagan also helps occasionally to instruct the team in the fine points of the game. The Young Colonials would like to play any football team whose players are under eighty-fve pounds. The lineup is as follows: B, Cass, center; J.. Sullivan, quarterback; F. Tehan, fullback; s. Donahue, right halfback; D. O’Connor, left halfback; T. McGiv- ney. right guard; T. Lane, left guard; G. Bressnahan, left end; F. Hull strunk. right end: B. Horrigan. right tackle: “.
