ing discouraged over the defeat received
last Saturday at the hands of Purdue Uni
versity the Franklin College football squad
is working hard. trying to get into form
for the game next Saturday with Earlham
College. The game last week with Purdue
demonstrated that Franklin lacked effec-
tive team work. This has been greatly
remedied this week. through the hard prac-
tice which Coach Whitesides has given the
team. The weakest place now is at guard
Sturgeon and Hanley. who played the posi-
ton so well last year and on whom Coach
Whitesides has been depending, have had
to give up playing. Hanley may be able to
get back in the game again, but it Is
doubtful. Pritchard probably will fill Spur
geon's place at left guard, but Coach
Whitesides has not yet decided who will
play the other guard Miller probably will
succeed R. Bryan at right end. In a game
