commands are few.
Williams has played one season. 50
this is his second year ut the game.
He is willing player and is always
under the line when il comes his way.
He snaps the BAH back in fine shape
and will doubtless overcome the few
defects in his work before the season
is over. He is light but makes w for
his lack OF weight by his quickness
and strength. Few gains have been
, made through him.

tried and il is almost a toss-up between
them. {. A. Bates played the position
~ the beginning Of the season but he
I later gave way to Hodwell who is the
heavier. Neither man has played much
before and IL is 4 battle royal between
the two for the place.
The find OF the season is at lcf;

on his feet as any Of the backs and his
weight and strength count tremen-
douSly when Coburn has the ball. Other
teams had better leave Knox and
Max" alone when they are trying for
the gains.

/ strong and heavy ana when he plays lo,,
nothing has gone through him. this sra-
son. His work on the offensive is bril-
liant AT times. His great trouble is IN &C.

rapidly overcoming this defect and Will lt
