Iowa City, Sept 2.-Active prepar-
ations are making. with the advent of
September, for the opening of the foot
ball season at the State University Of
Iowa.
Manager Henry G. Walker is in cor
respondence with more than thirty as
pirants for gridiron fame, including
nearly all of the eleven that Professor
Chalmers moulded together last fall.
Coach Chalmers, himself, is in Du-
he expects to arrive here for the first
day of preliminary practice, Septem-
Der IL.
Man. Walker has promises of more
than twenty men that they will be here
for preliminary work. and the coming
week is apt to bring similar assurances
from at least ten more. Captain
jones' the star half-back, and "Reddy"
Griffith, the noted quarter, are among
those who have announced their tnten-
ton of coming here to preliminary
practice.
Old players, who were not on the
regular eleven, who will show up for
the ante-seas work, are Knapp, the
end who made good Thanksgiving day,
when Captain Coulthard was laid
out in st. Louis. He is Dubuque boy
with an excellent record, and an end
position is almost certain to be his
the coming year.
Kent, a star quarterback from Mar
shalltowns high school, will be a well
come addition to the ranks this month.
Kent was approached by a number of
university "providers.' and Alonzo
Stagg was among the coaches who
were eager to get this young and very
promising player. He is known as u
gilt edged pitcher, also.
The Iowa City lovers Of the sport
have already seen good performances
Humboldt; Moore, sub center, last
year; Roy Buckley, of Shelby; White
Of Cresco; Stoltenberg, of Shelby;
BowersoX, of Shueyville. who played a
great half on the Coe College team,
couple of seasons ago; and Salinger
of Carroll. All these men will be here
for preliminary practlce.
Other players who have made rec
ords in their home towns are Mcmahon
of Victor; Hubbard, of Ida Grove;
Stewart, of Iowa Falls; Peterman. a
South Dakota boy from Lead; and
French, of Humboldt. A number of
these are new to Iowa field, but they
have agreed to be on hand September
IL, and their regulations will make
them welcome. French is an $50
pound, IL second man; MCGOWAN, the
tackle on last years eleven, and
Schwin and Atkinson, guards, are also
to show up the first day of ante season
practice Both of these men made
great improvement the last few weeks
of the last season, and are expecting to
shine this year.
Coe will open the season here on
September "a, and Coach Chalmers
anticipates a respectable" score in
Iowa's favor. AS to the season, he has
declined to predict, except to say that
the experience of the men, who have
played together for at least one full
season, ought to be stronger than ever.
The team of last year will be back,
with the exception of Center Johnston;
-
and Coulthard ends, in all probable
ity.
