As the autumn time draws near and the
DAYS grow shorter and Just a little bit
cooler the foot ball enthusiast leave his
shady summer haunts and ambles out into
the open. It Is almost time for him to come
forth. The last few days OF refreshing
weather have been ideal for ante-season
foot ball takers and it will be now but a
few short days until bounding pigskin will
take up its position upon the vacant lot and
college field.
Locally interest will to a great extent
this season center about the Creighton
eleven. In the history of the university
the prospects for a fast strong team were
never brighter, The outlook is entirely
satisfactory to those who have the team
making I'm charge. With plenty of good
material TO work with Coach Snyder is
wearing several different kinds Of smiles,
Of course not all at the same time, and is
impatient to get to work with his canvas
backed crew. As soon as the last scraper
leaves the new campus the coach will be
out with his first batch Of warriors demon
strating to them how to jump out Of third
story windows without hurting themselves
and telling them that the hard ground is
really q bran pile.

partments of the university. The outlook

In regard to the possible personnel oil
the team, Coach Snyder is not saying
much. However, 1t is known that he ha,
every assurance that two players, whC

Captain Marin, who played a real game
at halfback last year, will be back on tn,

he has been training all summer and viii
set a fast pace this fall. Bob Magirl viii

on hand for the first practice.
