SURPLUS OF KICKERs.
Plenty OF Men for the University
Football Eleven.

Coach Jerrems, of the university football
team, has not yet done exactly as Coach
Forbes of the Harvard team. but he has
come very near it. That is he has hit upon
combination for the team which he thinks
will be winner. To be sure there IS an en-
barassment of material for some of the po-
sitions, and even at this late day some OF
the freshmen and other players are getting
out making some startling showings and COM
pletely shattering the makeup. However,
Jerrems is not jumping at things or making
up his mind about players without giving
them careful and serious consideration. To
thai end there may possibly be some changes
in the makeup of the team, but it Is safe to
say that matters have about settled them
selves, and that the coach has pretty good
idea of what the makeup OF the team Will
be for the season.
The appearance of several men who were not
counted upon and who have proved themselves
as able to make pace on the team has ne
cessttated several changes. The center OF the
line is now well filled. Ingalls,, the big 240
round wonder who was heralded early III the
season, has made up his mind to get in for
good, and has been at 1t every day TINS week.
He realizes that it will take work to learn
the game but is determined to be the left
guard of the team. He is fast learning, ana
bv the time of the Wisconsin game will have
had practice enough, and gained few points
in the three games before to hold down his
iob in good shape. Winkjer, a man standing
six feet four inches, and a subguard on the
'94 team, is being coached for right guard
Harding's coaching, will make rafting good
man.
With these two for guards, it has become
necessary to find place for f1nlayson. IL
was not hard proposition. The raven-ha1red
guard was born to the game at the center po-
sition having obtained his original coaching
under Madigan captain of the SO team. Fin
lawson played center for one year and went
over to right guard when Fulton was placed
at center in '95. Last year he played left
guard to succeed Larson, and was considered
to have a cinch on that pace. But with two
new guards it was necessary to have an old
man at center and so Fin" was put back
in his first love- He is all right there.
There is going to be a hot fight over tack es.
Reynolds, Nicculin, Parson, La rama 4, Pheips
and lot of others are out for it. The first
two are playing there now, and making the
best showing. Nicoulin is playing such
game that he may be considered a fixture
but if as good man appears to take Rey-
nold's place then Mickey" i'll be put behind
the line, where he naturally belongs.
CAPTAIN Harrison, Of course, need have no
fear about his end, but at the other end four
men are lighting to win out. Scandrett, the
last years end, has first call, but Shepiey
who has heretofore played at tackle, is now
out for end and playing a game 1e,. that that does
Buttz are also in the fight and will at least
provide the team with a fine lot OF sub
stitutes for that position.
Behind the line there is only one position
that does not seem to have an abundance of
candidates. Full back is alone and entirely
the property of Harry Loomis. Evans will
be the sub
Quarter back is still the exclusive property
of Cole and Woodwork. Mayo, Brown and
O'Reilly are also doing that work Mayo has
been playing half on the second team and
O'Reilly is captatning that important eleven.
new man has appeared for the quarter
position in the person of W. 5. klenholz,
who was the mainstay of the st. Cloud Nor
NAL school team for a couple Of years.
