FOOTBALL NOW
IN LIMELIGHT
Prospects Look Bright for Successful
Year.
TRAINING HAS COMMENCED
MA0Dock's MEN AGAIN OUT FOR
CHAMPIONSHIPS.
TRAINING HAS COMMENCED

With the opening Of the fan school year
| football is again to the fore and from
! now until snow flies the youngster with
the tousled head will occupy the front row
in sDortdom. This is especially true in
local sporting circles where football has
IN the past few years grown to be one Of
the leading sports of the day. Chief in
the state university, which under the
coaching OF Maddox has become one OF
the leading football eleVens in the west.
coming from the east with new and
/ fresh football ideas the past week. Mad
COCK has already jumped into harness to
shape up team for the coming year.
For several years he has had what ma
terial there was on hand working at the
u. campus and although he has not been
able to give any forecast on this year
Team ne y trying to get material to
take the place of those of last years
champions who have left school,
Short on Good Material.
Maddox will not be able to do much in
| THIS line until after the new students reg
lister the coming week He says. how
ever that he is woefully short of good
material and that the freshmen students
! viii have to furnish him with at least
two men for the line In former years the
| u. has always fallen back on the new
students TO fill up the vacancies IN the
! team and there is but little doubt but
what the necessary material viii be
forthcoming by the time school is fairly
started.
The public in general are not the least
! bit worried about the u team this year
ON account of the absolute confidence they
have in MaddOck's ability as a coach.
Partlsans of the university win bet that
! Maddox will not lose a game this sea-
son even if he is handicapped by the lack
OF material. They figure that Maddox s
knowledge of the game is so much Su-
periOF to that of any other coach in the
west that he will make the L boys win
anyway.
BY the end Of the coming week a fore
cast of the U team can probably be made.
and until that time football enthusiasts
will have to pin their faith In Maddox
and they probably will.
West Side Has Good Start
The West Side High school is probably
in better shape at the present writing
/ than any team in the state. The agrees
siVeneSs that has always been the domi-
ready shown itself. For the past two
weeks nearly twenty candidates have been
( out for positions on the team. Fred
Smith. former captain of the High school,
and Dick Ogelsby have been coaching the
boys. Ben Harris, q former tackle on
the team and now going to Michigan, has
been imDarting some of the knowledge
gained by watching Yost's men In action.
In giving a forecast OF this team II can
safely he said that CAPTAIN JudSon will
again be at full back as it will be next

ster for that position. Richardson and
Dunn, last years half backs, are again
in uniform, although Dunn may be
switched to end. while Moon and Settle,
two promising candidates. are trying for
the position held by Dunn. Quarter has
two likely candidates. Hyde and Hansen.
Both have had experience OF sub teams
and either will make a good man for the
position.
Morris appears TO be the most likely
person TO take RichmOnd's place at cen

present slated for guards. and .. Settle
and Paul may fill the tackles, with win
Harris again at end.
Coach Callahan has promised TO be on
hand next week to take charge of the
team and ii is expected the West Siders

week or two. At the present time Mana
ger ClaWsOn Is busy arranging MS sched-
ule for the coming year, which will prob
ably include @ames with Butte. Pueblo
and perhaps a Denver high school
