team this season who will fill the va
cant places in good shape. Just now
there seems to be no opposition to
Whitney, the fullback of this year s
second team playing the center posi-
ton. Whitney played in a couple of
games this season on the second team
and showed UP in good shape. He Is
one of the most promising players on
the team. For the guard positions,
Munford of this years team will have
one of the positions. The other
side of the line will be cared for by
Templeton or Realm both of whom
were seen in some of the games this
season and who showed up we'll. Rea-
Yin is promising player and was
only prevented from earning his ''W"
by an accident. Templeton who Is
heavier is not as aggressive player
as Realm but promises to develop.
Brethour the left guard of this years
team is pretty light for a guard and
although he was one of the best in the
state this season he is probably too
valuable a man to be kept in the posi-
ton. He will probably be developed
for some other position-perhaps full
back.
For tackles there are several good
candidates. Codding who has been
playing guard on this seasons second
team is a strong candidate. He is
heavy man, we'll built. and plays an
aggressive game. Besides he does
who played a substitute tackle on the
1905 team but who was not in school
this season, has written that he will be
back next season and he will be a
strong contestant. Realm might also
be used in this position. Brethour
also could be developed into a good
tackle.

this years team will play the right

he been in better condition he would

Kansas class. Osborne Larimer who
"subbed" at end this season; VIII play
the other end. Iarimer is unsur-
passed when it comes to handling for
ward passes, which is TN important
duty of the ends under the new rules.
For quarterback Hope will have the
call again. Hope was the choice of
most of the critics for the all-Kansas
quarter this season, and is a hard man
to beat. In accurate passing, directing
the plays and in headwork Hope has
few equals
The remainder of the team is as yet
Smiley Of course will
have the call for one half. Smiley has
played on the team for three seasons,
but on account of his weight and the
older heads with whom he has been
he has never made regu-
in nearly every game in the past two
seasons. Burkhart of this years sec
ond team is a good man and will put
up a fight for the other half. Weld

as good as any man on the team, will

had to turn in his suit because of par

Nipps, the other half back On this
seasons second team, will try for a
half back position.
For fullback there are really no
candidates: The task Of developing
one will devolve upon Coach Weede
next season. Brethour has practically
declared his intentions of trying for
this position and with his aggressive
ness ought to develop into a good man
for this place
In addition to the men who have
been enumerated there are several
other good men on the squad of the
past season who will try for first team
positions next season. Among these
might be mentioned Dolman, Brad
field, Aten, Foster. Bowman and a
score of others. Dolman or Aten
could be developed into good linemen.
Bradheld is a promising end and Bow
man put up good exhibition at quar-
terback. Foster would make a good
ineman If his parents withdraw their
objections to his playing.
For kickerS next season, Hope is a
fair all around kicker. Smiley also
boots the ball well. Robb is the best
made to punt in good shape. He can
use either foot.
Manager Stahl has been instructed
to spare no time in arranging a sched-
ule for next season and is already
to secure bigger games than
were on the sohedule for thfs Seoaop
