Appleton, Wis, Aug. 4.-With the exception
of one man, Chael Gochpauer, captain Of last
years team every member OF the 1904 football
school next month. In addition to this unusually
favorable circumstance is the fact that Concn
Koehler has a list of about twenty-eight other
prospective students who will try for the team,
and many of whom have q football reputa ton
that gives the dope man justification in placing
them in line as a member of the team. Briefly
stated, the prospects for the strongest team In
the history of Lawrence university, are very
bright for the coming season, and there is every
indication that winning eleven will represent
the school in 1905.
Captain Robert Wolter has issued a call to
every old player and all the promising material
to report at his summer home on Lake Wtnne-
bago on Aug. 81, for early training Accept
ances have been received from about two dozen
Of the players. Coach Koehler will report at
that date and active preliminary work will be
begun. It is expected that signal work and
wind exercises will occupy most Of the time Of
the squad while in camp prior to the opening Of
school in the second week in September.
New Material.
Among the most promising Of the new men are
Herman Nelson OF North Fond du Lac, who has
played two years on the strong Green Bay ath-
let1c team. and who has played on high-school
. teams. leaving good record. His weight
Is about 1T2 pounds and his position is at end
Or one OF Tne nulYeS. pteu huuC OF MaClueLle,
a member of last years University of Wisconsin
team, has decided to come to Lawrence. Charles
Boyer, Il six-footer, weighing about 1S0 pounds,
is another candidate from Green Bay who will
try for the team. Louis Klaus Of Gillett, small
town just outside of Green Bay, and an athlete
of record, will report for early practice. He is

Mgh-school ends in the northern section Of the
state is coming to Lawrence. F. J. Bull, half

Graasse Of Sturgeon Bay will also register at
Lawrence and try for the team.
Koehler on Hunt.
Coach 'Deacon' Koehler spent several weeks
| touring the state this summer and while in
Appleton yesterday said II feel justified in
| saying at this time that Lawrence university dur
ing the coming season will have the strongest
representation on the grfdiron in the history OF
the school. I have found ma terial enough dur
! ing the summer to build up two strong teams
! and will have little difficulty in securing
| strong first eleven. I now have material enough
| for at least three men in every position on the
| team, and must say some of it looks exception
! ally good to OF course, it is too much tt
say that Lawrence will get team to defeat any
of the big nine teams, but it is no more thar
| fair to warn them that they will have no cas-,
| time when the doughty ministers meet them OF
the gridiron next season.,
| Lawrence has got very strong schedule ant
I fear that several Of the big games are closel.
| punched, but then, we will do best to maxi
strong showing, and know I've got materia
that won't stand by and see Lawrence's color
| dragged ignoniniously in the mud
Arrangements have already been made for tn
establishment of training quarters at the Par
hotel, where a squad Of thirty five men will b
fed until such time as the coach sees fit to par
the number. new consignment Of football
| suits, complete, arrived during the summer an
a new tackling bag for early practice also is o
hand. Everything has been done to expedit
the work of getting the squad into training.
