HIGH COACHES
ARE ANXIOUS
Teams Not Working to Suit the
Directors, Who Fear Satur-
day Results.
BY Gil.

Anxiety reigns supreme at North Side field.
With the Shattuck game only two days away
the lineup is still in doubt Yesterday Coach
Nye and his assistants shufled up the first and
second teams beyond recognition in desper-
ate ATTEMPT to get combination Of men who
were in good physical condition and who would
play the game.
With the exception of the oswa1ds and VIII
kinson, the veterans upon whom the blue and
white rooters counted at the opening Of the
season in bad shape ''Big" King is still
weakened from the attack of blood poisoning
which kept him out Of the game for a couple
Of weeks, and 'Little'' King has not played
un to his usual standard at any time during the
season. Jack Marks was out in suit yester-
day. He insisted on getting into the game,
but showed sign of his old-time dash and
vigor. The coaches handled him very carefully,
plavinp him in the line where he could get
soma much-needed exercise with minimum Of
danger to his game leg.
Marks a Problem.
The uncertain condition of Marks is the great
est difficulty confronting the North Side coach.
If he is not going to play it will be necessary
to rearrange the lineup considerably, and up
to they have tried by makeshifts to hold
his place open. With the heavy games Of the
season upon them they must either put him in
at once or shift the team permanently.
DR.. P. M. Hall. who has had Marks under
his care since he was injured is quoted as say
ing that the chances of his PLAYING this sea-
son are slight. Marks will probably practice
with the team this week. but there is little
chance Of his going into the Shattuck game, for
for he is not vet in condition to stand the pun
ishment of drought contest
La Paine. who went into practice yesterday
| for the first time since he wrenched knee in
| the Fort Smelling game. received injuries at the
very start which will keep him out for the
| rest of the season. This Is a severe blow tt
the team. he the best end in the squad
With La Paine out the line will be seriously
weakened Lee, a promising sub half, is also
on the hospital list. =.
| Yesterdays practice was ragged.
To say that the coaching staff Is gloomy IL
to mt it mildly One Of the alumni coaches
instead Of improving the men had gone back
since the opening of the season. "We dom,
know what to do he said. eff we give then
scrinmage they get overturned hurt. If we
don't give them scrimmage they forget how tt
will be doing we'll" '''Ses'~ ~ wv
Alumni Helps South Side.
At South Side bunch of alumni stars linet
I'D against the regulars and walloped them al
over the field. Johnson. who PLAYED fullback OF
the second team. tore holes in the first lin
at will. and the veteran forwards simply walked
over the school line
Johnson PLAYED fullback for the second team
Capron and Ellis PLAYED the halves, Berg an
Blomgren PLAYED tackle and g,lard respective
and Void held down center. These men, wit
frst-team substitutes to fill out their number
We're ALTOGETHER too much for the lighter me-
Of the first team. z1%-
Slower and Bang assisted Coach Goldbum wit
the first team and did much toward poundin
them into shape. In spite Of the moor shown
made Yesterday. the outlook is bright for Sal
urdavs game There is little possibility tha
the head-of- the-lakes school can nut team i
the field which can compare with the bunc
which did things to South Side yesterday, ,fc
IT. contained most Of the stars who once mad
j South Side the strongest team in the city.
