Iowa City, Iowa, Aug. 5.--Manager Nyle Jones
of the University of Iowa athletics today issued
the call for candidates for the preliminary sea-
of 1905. The men are urged to appear on
Sept. 1 that they may be ready to engage in
actual work on the Monday following.
Manager Jones declares that the season is too
far away to make reasonable any wholesale pre-
dicttons as to the eleven and Its strength but
he knows that eleven tlrst-class men of last
years squad will be back-and ten Of them
will surely play. The varsity will lose "Reddy''
Griffith, its spectacular quarter; Stoltenberg and
Lee, ends; Jordan and Jones, halfbacks and
Knapp, end Atkinson will return, but the
giant 245pound guard AYERS he will not play.
The minor colleges of the state have been
secured for promising material, and much Of it
has been tentatively pledged. Owing to the
new conference rule, these men are not avail
able and, therefore, Manager Jones and Coach
Chalmers rejoice over the fact that a number of
strong who in the university last
season. but did not make the team because of
tneligibility other causes, will be out this
year, determined to work for place.
Familiar Faces.
Familiar faces among the returning players
gill doubtless continue to be prominent thruout
the coming season. Captain Mcgowan will be
at fullback. where his hurdlng, line
bucking and tackling were features in 1904.
ROckW0od the Minnesota product. will be at
guard again. as his work during his freshman
year phenomenal. Streff, noted for going
down with the ball on the punt, will be at
end again, and Schwin who had never seen a
football game before coming to Iowa two years
ago, but who developed into an astonishingly
good at tackle, and 'Cresco' White, will
be at tackle.
Moore and sKent will try for center and quar-
terback respectively, their positions last year.
'Fuzz'' White will again try for half, but may
be worked at quarter. Allen, a brilliant half
in 1903, but victim of typhoid in 1904. will
be out again. and Seidel, who was disabled at
center last season, will also return. He is a
1S5pounder, noted as charger who gets his
man the jump
Felkner, who has been acquiring -adipose tissue
as librarian of the Carnegie library in Iowa
City. seems to have the making of good key
stone in him. and will also be tried at center.
Randall a 19O-pound tackle, who shone in class
team work last season; Washburn, fullback
ond eleven last year largely because of at
tack of typhoid; Myer. winner of the hurdles
at the Iowa state field meet. and Murphy a
state champion hurdler during his high-school
days, will be strong bidders for end posts.
Parsons. Cornell college importation. not eligi-
BILE until this year, and Brown, still another
expert hurder. lengthen 1owa's already long
list Of possible ends. Berry, Iowa City high
school graduate, who has been a fine utility
man, playing every position on the varsity eleven
except quarter during the past two years, will
try for center.
Work in September.
With this and other hoped-for material to
start with, Coach Chalmers will begin work in
September with determination to mould a
team fully good that Of 1904 if not
better than that eleven. The engagement OF
DR.. Ward osteopath to better
physical condition thruout the coming season
than last year. when fully 80 per cent of the
remained the hospital list the greater
part of the season. Coach Chalmers has repeat
edly said that, even in the face of his losses OF
good men. he may. with better fortune in the
way Of fewer cripples, make stronger clever
with fewer stars. He makes predictions as
to the system he will adopt, but he is noted
for the devsing of original plays adapted tC
the special gifts and abilities of his Individual
players and the team, regardless of so-called
systems. He will not take the team up the
Iowa river as of old, but the work of training
will be done last year, in the gym anG
on Iowa field. The latter has been practically
reconstructed. The corrected schedule for the
coming season was given out by Manager Jones
