Wright or Osborn will play center for
the team. Wright seems to be the more
available man owing to weight and
strength. Osborn was formerly on the De-
PAW team and will play a guard if not
center. Loop, Clymer and Olive are also
candidates for the position of guard, with
Loop making the best showing for the
position. Captain Lister, a player of four
years experience, will play his old posi-
ton Of tackle. for which he is noted
throughout the State. Robinson or Smith
will play the other tackle. Loop, Roberts
and Cunningham are trying for ends, but
none OF them have the qualifications for
are candidates for quarter. Clark has had
several years experience and plays a
nervy game. giving him the advantage in
line. Ludlow, Lamkin and Blount are try
Ing for halves. but all are too light. Lud-
low is a new man, but shows signs OF
err coaching. Rhinehard has no opponents
for the position of full back He played
the same position with the High School
last year and proved to be a sure tackler
and goal kicker. The team will present a
much more encouraging appearance after
a weeks work under coacher Flint and
Vile. 1t plays the University, of

other games are being arranged. There is
some question as to whether the Butler
team will play the Artillery team. owing to

friends of both are attempting TO arrange
a contest.
The High School team, which holds the
