READING HIGH PLAYS ACADEMY
Game Here Saturday Afternoon; Berks County Team Is Strong

Reading, Pa., Oct. 9.-The outlook for a strong football team for Reading High School this year is becoming brighter. Although the entire line with the exception of Nuebling and Potts were graduated, the backfield remains intact and there are capable linemen now taking the places of the graduates. With Adams and Fehr as halfbacks, and either H. Muhlenberg or Leinbach as the quarter, the unsettled position at the present time is fullback. Johnson, Sailer and Howard are the prominent aspirants.

Captain Neubling holds the position at center, and is showing fine form. Nyquist, the star of the cage game, has tried his luck at tackle and is coming along. Stitler is a promising guard, while Esterly, Fries and C. Saylor, are holding down the end positions. Reynolds, who was the find of last year, has been out of practice since the start through a knee injury. When he recovers he is bound to make the other line candidates take notice.

Coach Oscar Hyden, of Schuylkill Seminary football team, has been working the squad hard to get into condition for the opening game. The schedule to date follows:
October 13, Harrisburg Academy, at Harrisburg. October 20, Perkiomen Seminary, at Pennsburg; October 27, Harrisburg Academy, at home; November 3, Albright College, at Myerstown; November 10, National Farm School, at National Farm; November 17, Lebanon Valley Reserves, at home; November 24, Albright College, at home; Thanksgiving Day, November 29, open.
