q new era in foot ball at the univer-

practicing at any one time. Among

Gross, Stutsman, Hazard. Hanlon, Car
berry, Kirk, Collins. Besides these

Hastings of Spencer, Iowa. who has
been holding down the center position
for the past two years, will not have
a cinch again this season. Comfy OF

and Stutsman, who intended to go to
the Pacific coast to school, has been IN
duced to remain. These three men
trying out for tackle together with
Bell Of Washington, and Macdonald OIL

warm for that position. Peck Haz-
ard, the stocky little full back, who
played such good ball last season, will
probably be shifted to end this year.
