As the tentative 1919 interscholastlc
football schedule drawn up by the
coaches of the nine schools Friday calls
for the first game on Wednesday, Sep
tember 24, high school gridiron mentors
will have to rush their squads into
condition for early opening of the sea
son. As far as can he remembered the
annual interscholastic football season
has not opened until the first week in
October at the least, but with nine
teams in the league this year an early
start is necessary to get all of the
frames played. As it stands, the season
will end on November 26, meaning that
the followers of the prep school games
will be in for two solid months of their
favorite entertainment.
Lincoln Han Faxt Eleven.
If the season gets under way Wednes
day it will work a great hardship on
Hill Military Academy and Columbia
University, as both of these institutions
have been unable to hold any scrim
mage or heavy practice. Hill turned
out for the first time last Friday night,
while Coach "Ad" Dewey had all of last
week in which to start his Columbia
turnout in the game.
First call for football at most of the
schools was issued on either Septem
ber 5 or 8 so they have had several
weeks to get into condition. Lincoln
and James John, which opened the sea
son last year, are billed to furnish the
curtain-raiser again this season. Coach
Harlan of the Railsplitters has sim
mered his squad of 40 men to what is
said to be a fast first-string eleven. He
has the benefit of experienced men both
on the line and in the backfield. Morris
Rogoway, Marion Monroe and Irvin
Cole, last year backfield veterans, are
all valuable players and rank among
the best in the league. Rogoway was
one of the best quarterbacks of last
year and should give all others a run
for all-star honors. Cole was a hard
hitting backfielder, and Monroe was
good for yardage many times. Jake
Knkelis, captain and tackle, is a three
year veteran and is hard to beat at his
position. There are bigger men in the
league, but few play harder and nail
their man better than Jake. "Curl"
Oliver and Bill Beck are two other line
holdovers who are being picked to
shine. They may start at the ends, but
Oliver is a good tackle and also plays
half.
Jefferson in High Spirits.
Johnny Ohm and Dick Girt are the
only veteran backfield men whom
Coach Campbell has at James John.
Ohm played quarterback last season,
while Girt rambled around the sawdust
at right half. Grit is a star and will
be the mainstay of the team. On the
line Campbell is better fortified with
Cochran, Chatterf ield, Hiatt, Toole and
Jessup in the harness. He has had a
good turnout, however, and the team
will not be found lacking when the
whistle is blown for the start of the
first game.
Students at Jefferson are in high
spirits caused by the return of Reggie
Tousey to school last week. The addi
tion of Tousey, last year's fullback,
gives Coach Quigley the entire back
field of his championship team of. last
year, composed of Norman Toumans,
quarter: Art Sutton and Ken Julian,
halfbacks, and "Reggie" Tousey, full
back. Jefferson will feel the loss on
the line with Mike Reed, Dick Faville
and "Saw" Anderson missing. Reed
and Ajiderson are two of the best
tackles of which Jefferson has boasted,
while Faville played an all-star game
at center last year and is credited with
putting Jefferson through to victory on
more than one occasion by his work in
intercepting passes and breaking up
plays. Reed and Faville graduated and
will attend Stanford university. Ander
son is still at school, but up to date has
not been playing football. Jess Digman
and Morgan Stanton, of the 1916 team,
are back and will fill the breech.
Wm hi lift ton Eleven Strong.
Washington will have to be reckoned
with again this year. It has been sev
eral seasons since the East Side school
has boasted of a team that has been a
bugbear to other elevens, but Coach
Strong has a formidable aggregation
this year that should measure up to
anything in the league. The line is
heavy, averaging probably 175 pounds,
while the backfield is built up with
letter men. fetrong has been doing a
good deal of shifting among the ends
and backs and will have decided upon
his first-game starters by the first of
this week. Edlund, captain and quar
terback of last- year's team; "Dude"
Hitchcock, Dick Robbins and Johnny
Haak have been holding down the back
positions regularly. Edlund. Haak and
Robbins played last year, while Hitch
cock has not been wearing the "W
Since 1917, having been a member of
the S. A. T. C. at Oregon Agricultural
college last year. Keller King. Bill
Johnson and Ken Scott are the heaviest
men of the line and all are experienced
men.
Hill Military Academy will also have
nearly every member of last year's
backfield on hand, the only loss being
Wilbur Haines. Harold Churchill, Har
old Robinson, Dick Ball and Irving Day
formed a keen combination last season
and are endowed with speed and the
tbility to hit the line.
Columbia, Benson, Commerce, and
Franklin are booming and all of the
coaches will have a line on their first
team by Wednesday.

expected to do good work in a year
