nations which are intended to gain ground
against Stages proteges Saturday.
Wednesday and Thursday the scrubs took the
ball and hurled the wloa backs and other OF
Stages favorte plays ut the varsity line. Car

lineup this week. Carriers leg, which was An

of last Saturday. Redden has again returned
and we'll as ever He may injure his
ankle early in the game Marshall field Satur-
day, In which case Graver will take his place.
Many claim that Graver plays as. good a
game rs Redden mt end. but he Is needed as sub
quarter and halfback. Lawrence is steadily i'm
proving but Jones will commence the Chicago
game at fulback and be relieved by Lawrence
in the second half. Jones plays such a fast and
hard game that ne rarely can stand two full
halves.
Sweey is keeping his punting leg In shape
and will probably be called on to keep the ball
last year. Maddox is already in class With
Curtiss of Wisconsin and Shorts Of Michigan,
and 1T will be hard to find better tackle in the
west to-day. He tips the scales at about 100
