criminal neglect of his leg reacted
Taylor has been in the hospital SC
ever since. Coach Hempel said last nh
that he believes Taylor is improving faN
enough to be able to play in the gamN
against Utah university Saturday after
next.
Leffert, who played left tackle against
Denver university, and did fast work
by even getting down under the punts
quicker than the ends, has been in bed
during the last three days with bad
knees and bruises, but will soon be out
to practice.
by practice that he could not play last
Saturday, is getting over his sprained
ankle, and Coach Hempel depends on
him for the Utah game.
Taylor and Keim are both Denver men.
Taylor played on manual high in the
Centennial capitol as tackle and was
considered the greatest high scnool foot
ball player in the history of the game
there. He Is over six feet in his stock
lngs, weighs 1SO pounds and is the fastest
man on. st. Vincents Taylor is really
the only fine one on defense, the other
men on the line failing signally to get
through in the Denver game.
Keim played with North Denver high
for three years, and, besides winning
note in football, he, also holds the inter-
scholastic record for the 100-yard dash.
He is quick as a flash, weighs 16O pounds
and is a solid piece of steel muscle.
Taylor and Keim will form st. Vim
cents tower of strength against Utah.
Gait, the acquisition from the Sherman
Indians, is looked to for sensational for
ward passes and end runs. He is also
fiend at bucking, and goes through the
opposing line like a catapult, picking
out his own holes, independent of inter-
ference
Coach Walter Hempel will do well to
look to the sleep of his men. 1t is
rumored all over the city that the st.
Vincent's team has been behaving scan
dalously since the game with Denver.
This is bad sign of that reckless self
confidence which forebodes certain de-
feat, sooner or later.
The men have quarters in a twenty
room fiat at 1850 Hope street, right near
the college, but this has not prevented
many of Them from sneaking out at
night. They have taken in everything
from theaters to dances, and this sort
Of fooishness should be stopped
Coach Hempel should either establish
his own quarters on the same floor with
the mems sleeping rooms, or else he
should fit a jail lock on the exit.
How st. Vincent's can take such Grim
inal chances. losing sleep and violating
every rule in the training decalogue,
with the big Utah game only eight days
away, Is inexplicable. st. Vincent's has
the greatest opportunity to mark the
name of the college high on the roll of
football honor ever known in the history
Of the institution, and the men should
be severely lectured on their conduct
If players on an eastern university
team should violate training orders they
would be accused of betraying their
school.
Get some spirit, st. Vincents!
