on the campus next week. Strathern, who
played guard in the big games last year,
is expected to be on hand in few days.

second team also will be on hand and with
Harris. Downing, Van Valkenburg and
Burdick, will form the material for a fair
back field.
Line Causes Anxiety.
The line just now Is causing the coaches
considerable anxiety. The latest piece
Of bad news is that Scha chit. who made
q good record at right tackle last year,
may not return. Schacht has been
troubled with a bad knee and possibly will
not be in shape to play. That will leave
two tackles, one end, and center to be
supplied. The most enthusiastic rooters
now admit that Minnesota's prospects are
far from bright. With Nebraska, Michi-
gan Wisconsin and Illinois all looking
dangerous, it seems almost impossible for
