Although the football team of St
Johns College will lose the majority
of the members of last years team, a
fast and fairly heavy team will be put
in the field this season, and there is
au unusual good schedule. Ii is al
ready certain that there will be good
strong backfeld, and although there
is lack of experienced men in the
line, there are number of strong
men who had experience as substitutes
last season.
OF last years team those who have
not returned TO college are Smith and
Hopkins, ends; Green, center; Staley,
left tackle; Harrison, guard, Ruhl,
fullback. On the line the only old
men in college are CLARK, guard Nc
Cardell, tackle; Rouse, substitute end.
Back of the line there is Stephens,
half, and Duval, last years star quar-
ter, may return. The college will also
have an experienced back in Battle, a
new man. A strong man for the line
will be Himmler, new fellow from
Cumberland. Some of the good candi-
dates for places on the team are Hous-
ton, Williams, Parlett, Perkins, Hal
bert, Bennett and Anderson.
A very large squad reporte on the
field for practice yesterday afternoon
and worked with the old St John s
spirit, which has done so much in past
years to lead the team ON to victory.
Even the new men seemed filled with
it and worked with a spirit which,
TO a certain extent, has been lacking
throughout the first few practice of
the week. As so many of the last
years varsity men graduated the
outlook for a good team has been a
little discouraging, but after yester-
days practice the men have much
more confidence.
Some preliminary work was done
by the squad, but Professor Cissel
soon lined them up for signal prac-
tice. Some of the largest men from
the second team were brought over
and put against the varsity line.
The backs we're then sent through.
Anderson, who was playing full back,
worked very hard and nothing could
stop him when he was carrying the
ball. Most of the line men were green
men, but went into the game with
the spirit of veterans. Duvall was on
t he field coaching the team, but he
expects to be out again for practice on
Monday. 1t has not been decided yet
who will play but most likely he will
be worked in at halfback With Ste
vens, Duyal and Anderson as backs,
and Battle at quarter, the back field
ought to be as strong, or stronger,
than last years team.
Captain Clark has announced prac-
tice for this afternoon at O'Clock
Practice is always held in the morn
ing on Saturdays, but today on accoun {
of examinations il had to be postpone d
until the afternoon. There will be a
lineup between the first and second
team this afternoon and all the prom
lsing men CT both the squads Will be
tried out.
