owatonna, Mimi, Sept. 22.-That the pros.
poets Of Pillsbury's having a champion football
team this fall brighter than ever before
Is apparent 10 those who have been watching
the practice work Of the past week on the
academy campus Not only is the material
from which to build a team comparatively plen-
tiful but the team has this year the advan7
tage of two fine coaches, both men who have
played on leading college teams and have ha.
the advantage of the most up date instruction
in the game.
Of Professor Jones, who last year developed
out Of most unpromistng and meager material
winning team, little need be said. The football
cranks of this vicinity have already taken off
their hats to his ability He will continue as
head coach, and all have confidence that he
will with the experience and prestige gained
last year and the founda ton laid by last years
team, be able to produce even better results
this year. .
I Professor Jones has this year the additional
advantage OF an assistant in the person Of Pro-
fessor Schuyler B. Terry, who a member
of last years Chicago university team, and has
had several years of training under Alonzo A.
Stage, director Of athletics at Chicago uni
,versity. Professor Terry will devote his entire
attention to the individual instruction of the
linemen of Pillsbury's team, and his coaching
must as prove Of immense advantage to the team
| all back in school and in football harness. They
| are: Captain Ted Smith at quarterback; Porter
and Colquhoun, both good tackles Dunton and
Kinney for halfbacks, Palmer and Jensen, guards.
OF the second team. Peterson and Updegrafft
guards, and Cooley and Knatyold for the back
i, field, are among the most promising and will
keep the vets hustling to hold down their jobs.
! The New Men.
! . There is also fine lot of material among
| the new men, Middlebrook, fast halfback from
Milbank, s. D.; Johnson, who has had expert
ence as guard at Des Moines; s. Goss Of Le
| Roy, who made such a good showing on the
| track team last spring, and Cox, who last year
played with Minneapolis Central high school, are
among the most likely candidates. There are a
number of other faithful, handwriting players
who within a week or so may "loom up" as
possibilities The season Is young and it is
| not uncommon for scrub to suddenly ':get
| the idea" and develop into star.
However, luck is an important element in
| athletic contests, and If it comes in too large
4 doses may disappoint the hopes of the enthu.
siasts who are already. counting up Pillsbury'
gridiron victories this fall. The prospects are
I for fine team, and it will be recognized as
! such If worthy, in spite of what bad luck may
| befall 1t. -,.- ..s.>}.
| The teams first game this year will be with
the university team on Sept. 80. OF course the
crack university team always runs all over the
preparatory school teams which it takes on fol
practice, but the boys in hopes of making
showing creditable in comparison with those
of other teams Of its class against the varsity
and In addition the experience will be very
valuable one for both the old and the new
members of the team. '---'@er~
