XVlll NO. 203 OF THE EVENING NEWS Rose FOOTBALL SCHOOL Apathy Shown by Many Boys in the Senior High.; JUNIORS HAVE TEAM Prof. Cochrane to Coach Class Teams of Junior - High School May : Forrri League. Football as a major sport In the high schools of the cily now occu pies the attention of the athletes of the city schools. ' In the senior IiIkIi school the coach is having a great deal of difficulty in getting out material to make up the squad for this year. For same reason a good many boys who are badly needed to make up a team this year do not seem to have enough interest to engage In this activity. The boys who have had previous training are turning out regularly, but many others who could be very valuable to the school seem lo have little interest. Some, ap- : parent ly, would like to play but rre not willing to practice, and Poach Turner insists that any man -"Who- play's on the team, must turn out regularly for practice, and no matter how good a player he may be if he is not out regularly he will not be permitted to play. Oth er boys evidently want to be coax ed to play, but Coach Turner says that those who have not sufficient interest in the Bchool to get into the game for the sake of the school , '-will" not be coaxed to join the squad. Seven lettermen are 'back from last year, and there are a few who had experience last sea son that will probably get berths this year. Several places, however, are open and there is a need for re cruits and while plenty of ma terial is available In the school, there for some reason, a great lack of Interest on the part of many boys who should be active. The junior , high school, how ever, Is all "hopped up" over the prospects of a football team this year, and tho enthusiasm of these youngsters promise much for foot ball in lloseburg In future years. Football was proposed in the jun ior high ns an Inter-class activity, and still may be kept on that plane. Prof. Charles E. Cochrane, instructor in business training and algebra is coach in tr the youngsters, having had a good deal of football experience, In addition to a course in coaching nt the University of Ohio. He is teaching the boys the fundamentals of the game and has every prospect of a good team in STARTED tho - Junior high senool.
