past week on the high-school gridirOn.
+ The coaches have been after their
men hard and knowing the ability of
each have made life miserable for the
Is qhe ba s ags Of the
ticallY picked and SO are the men who
will go in case any Of the regulars have
to quit the field. With the task of Civ
ing every man a fair trial and picking
out the best ones complete, the instruct
ors have been able to pay some atten-
tion to individual form and to COM
mence to develop the strategic side Of
the game.
Cripples Are Back.
The cripples are nearly all recov-
cred and back at their posts, Kingsley
and Sherbloom of East Side and Marks
of North high are the only men of note
who are still out Of the game. The two
crimson players are undoubtedly out
for the season, but Jack Marks is al
ready moving about freely in spite Of
there to make trouble for the opposn n
team when North Side begins on the
championship end of it's schedule.
At Central Coach Morse has matters
well in hand. His mind seems to be
we'll settled as to the makeup of his
team. Bresky and Saxon will undoubt-
edly play the end positions thru most
of the games with Cobb and Longfellow
in reserve. The ex-North Side player
and Saxon make a strong pair of flank
gaining possibilities to the teams which
play against them. The two subs have
shown up well in practice and will in
sure Central against any irretrievable
injury thru the loss Of either or both
of the regular pair. ,
Pendleton and Hoagland seem to be
the first choice for the tackle, with
Parker as a strong substitute avail
able for either side Of the line: Melin
either Of these places or at guard. Put
nam and Shave will probably play thru
the season in the guard positions: Cap
tain Farnam, at center, is a fixture.
He seems to be immune from injury.
In the backfeld Green has quarter
all to himself, tho Carpenter could
take his place were it necessary. Car
penter, however, will be played at left
half, provided he returns in time from
his hunting trip. Tobin seems to have
schooley IS pressing Gsrpenter HARD and
may replace him. If he does not he
will undoubtedly play at least part OF
every game. Schroeder, at full, had
received the major part Of the coaching
handed out to the team this week q 81
is heavy and strong and does well. The
only thing the matter with him is that
he might do better. Even as things
stand at present he is without rival.
South High Settled.
| South high is the other school with
it's lineup practically settled Tor the the
| @lo1 &ho 4h,.,, OF
with Solem occasionally acting as relief.
| Rose and johnson, the tackles, are a
husky pair and have shown themselves
to be good ground -gainers as well as
| strong defensive players. aZalusky and
| Zahner will keep their hold on the
guard positions unless they are put
out of the game entirely. Wethall, the
center, looks light between the guards,
but makes up for his lack Of weight
ny In n the backfieid solem is easily the
first choice for quarter. His expert;
ence is considerably more extended
than that of either of the other can
didates, and in addition he has knack
of wriggling thru a close field, which
makes him valuable man in the yard
acquiring side of the game. Ostrem
will act as relief frequently, as there
is always a chance that Solem may be
needed more at one Of the ends than
at quarter. Captain Holstrom will play
right half. He is fast runner and If
hard to tackle, combination which
ouist at the other half and w. Gunder
son at full have large portion Of the
Mechanic Arts yardage credited to thei1
account and look good for a season
ticket apiece emitting them to hole
their positions up to one minute before
the whistle at all games.
! Owing to forced changes and rear
rangements and the uncertainty about
the future condition Of some Of thei1
best players, the East and North Side
! teams are less crystalli Lied. Taking the
medic game and the East Side Lineup
| for the Carleton game as the basis fol
| discussion, some light can be secured
! on the final disposition of the forces.
For North Side, Leighton and Dit
benner, with Wingate, make up the ex
tremities of the line. The Oswald boys
at tackle not only boost the weight Of
the line, but can be counted on to gain
the necessary yards at critical moments
the TWO guard positions. Armstrong
at center, is ideal. He is guaranteed
not to move or get hurt.
Wilkinson of Shattuck has life ten
ure to the quarterback job. Nothinf
short Of graduation or some equally
irretrievable disaster can separate hin
from the blue and white team. His gen
eralship is good, he keeps the team con
tinually on the move and carries thu
ball we'll. Iberson and A. King catl b.
accounted the regular halves, tho lber
son is at present playing full and Park
er is substituting for him at left half
Lee, Lauritzen and Reibeth are tn
leading backfelG substitutes. Captain
Jack Marks is, of course, the frs
choice for fullback.
Coach Nye has the team in excellen
shape and has drilled in some prett,
: smooth football. There is little fumb
ling and seemingly no hesitation owe
signals.
East Is Changed.
East Side has played only one in
: town game and that early in the sea
son. Since then the team has been s.
changed that it is hard to do more thai
give the lineup as it was in the game a
Mortified a week ago Saturday. Thi
arrangement promises to be fairly per
manent except that Martin will prob
ably replace Comfort at quarter. It i
Rollins and Hawley, ends; Morrison an.
Cranbrook, tackles; Sherbloom, Col
grove and Kelly, guards; Huey, cen
ter; Martin and Comfort, quarter
Westbrook and Phillips, left half
Wore lester, right half; Captain Bum
nell, fullback.
Line Is Heavy.
