cal college has been under way only since
last Monday. but Coach Caldwell. who has
taken charge Of affairs. thinks that MS men

Gus factor in football circles. The line IS
almost Identical with that OF last year. al
though the positions OF the Mnemen have
been changed somewhat. and this will at
ford a strong basis for the team to organize
arounds- The most serious loss in the
back neld Is that Of Todd. but LeCron IS
showing great form at fun back
SHUTTLE Is back In his Old place at quarter
and is easily holding the position. SHUTTLE
Is short and chunky. but - fast on his feet

dropped back on defensive work The elev-

for the initial game OF the season than II
has been at the -Ommencemen OF any other
