EXPECT GOOD TEAM
Football Gossip Has It's Start in
the OWatonna Insti-
tuition.
Special to The journal.

Special to The journal.
Owatonna, MINI, Aug 11.-Football
and athletic prospects at Pillsbury
academy were given big boost when
the institution authorities announced
that the enrolment of the school would
this year exceed that of last year
greatly: Among this horde of new pu-
pills is included some Of the best foot
ball material to be found among pre-
paratory schools, and this Is the fact
which is causing expressions of JOY
among the fanatics.
This new material, in addition to that
which will be retained from last year,
insures the school the best team in its
history. The fears that Peterson and
Pickering, two Of the big fellows for
the team, would not return to school
were set at rest this week when Pick
ering visited the city and gave the as
surance that both would again be at
school and would be candidates for the
team again. In addition to this he
brought the news that new candidate
might be expected in the person Of
Peterson s brother, who will enter this
ing star, being well built and speedy.
The only position over which any
doubt whatever is felt is that of quar-
terback. For the past three years this
has been filed by Ted Smith, He grad
uated last year and his loss will be felt
deeply, but it is thought that there will
be no dearth Of speedy candidates. In
addition to Midd1ebrook, it Is under
stood that two or three of last year g
second team have decided to try out
for the place. Then there is posi-
bility of the entrance into the school
Of one of the star quarterbacks from
Of ho IL
er mentioned being in the academic or
preparatory department of the college,
and therefore being eligible to the
team should he enter Pillsbury. Mid
dlebrook, however, is counted upon to
make good.
The new rules will be strictly adhered
to in coaching the team, and members
of the squad are already busy studying
these rules and figuring out the various
changes. Coach J ones is of the opinion
that while the rules may be bit con.
fusing at first, they will ultimately re-
suit in a better, nnderstanding Of the
prepared to say that the rules will help
the game itself until after they have
been clearly tested, yet he does believe
that it will result in more open play
and make more interesting situations
on the field.
With the opening Of school only a
few weeks distant, the management is
now getting down to real work in the
matter Of arranging a schedule. Every
school included upon it's list will be one
worthy Of championship claims and
a schedule is to be arranged for the
second team, including games with sew.
eral neighboring high schools.
The two games most desired by the
local people are those with Shattuck
and Minneapolis North high. The lat
ter is practically certain and will prob
ably be played in Minneapolis the lat
ter part of October. The game with
but every effort will be made to bring
about such a meeting.
