CREIGHTON LINES UP STRONG
CONTINUED from First P2ge)
season on the second team, with an occa-
siOnal try out on tshe first team. The man
who works hard to build up the first team
by his work. against that team in scrim-
mage play Is entitled to Just as much
credit and can be just as proud Of his col
lege v~ictCgies as any man on the regular
varsity eleven. lie may not get the APP
plause Of the grandstand, but the men OF
the first eleven know his true value The
coach knows that without this sO-called
scrub" team he would never be able to
build a first team.
While some members Of the team have a
few sore spots from the rough work Of
practice on the field and most of the men
can boast Of the absence OF a few inches
Of skin on elbows and shoulders. the team
as a whole has been very fortunate. No
serious injuries have been sustained as
yet by any OF the men. No wrenched
ankles, sprained knees or thigh bruises
have developed. This in itself liz encour-
aging. II is not. however, from any lack
of work or hard training. Coach snyder
is as gentle with his players as most
coaches are and that is enough said. The
coach believes in having real practice and
is against anything that savors OF a tea
party on the campus.
Many Candidates.
There are a number Of candidates out for
center this season. Hoy. from the law de-
partment is one of the likely men. Though
ne is somewhat light for the position,
Weighing but 1854 pounds, he makes up for
his weight in speed. He is strong also in
the line and passes the ball with much
accuracy. He played on the st. Marys,
Kan. team last season. Leo Young is
showing up fairly well at center and may
develop into a good center. Siercks, who
played the center of the line last year
and who. according to the coach, is a
veritabie vhirl wind, has not been out so
far this season. This week will, however,
in all probability, bring him out in q suit.
Siercks weigh 1870 pounds, and is fast and
strong.
Two guards who will in all probability
make the team are Lynch and Hubbard.
They weigh about 1874 each. Lynch played
on the regular team last year and Hubbard
is a freshman at the Medical college. Nor
ganthaler is back at his old position at
left tackle. "Morg'' is strong on offense
this year, but still needs a little brushing
up In defensive work. He is a hard, faith
full player, and Is a strength to that side
of the line. With Lynch as guard on that
side of the line should be a hard prCpLsi-
ton for an opposing team to solve.
Dan Lee, who played on the st. Louis
team two years ago when st. Louis de-
feated Nebraska, is sure Of the job at
right tackle. He springs the scales at 1917
and is a mountain Of speed and strength.
Lee is good at the defensive part of the
game in particular. Coach Snyder says
that he is showing up better even than he
did on the great st. Louis team The right
side of the line will also present just a
little of the stone wall front.
Leo Hannifan Is the logical candidate for
left end. lie is showing all the power and
dash Of last season and promises this year
to do better work for the team than ever.
Critics at st. Louis, who saw Hannifan
play there on the Creighton team, say he
is the best defensive end ever seen in s..
Louis. This lis saying a good deal, but 1t
is none too much for Hannifan.
Captain Marin Holds Reina.
Captain Frank Marin IS at present
holding down the things that come his
way at right end. Marin is playing his
usual good game. Last season he played
halfback, and it Is possible that the coach
may this year later in the season try him
at fullback. Captain Marin is a careful,
steady player and will do much for his
team this season.
Galligan will also be used at end. He Is
a good heady player and is fast. Galli-
gan. with his constant good humor, is the
life Of the team on the field.
Dolor Murray, the fast little quarter
" -. 800. t. bacLr - HE ola npef-
t,on. Murray is the field captain and
runs his team like a veteran. His speed
will in all probability be responsible for
more than one victory for the blue and
white this year. Let Murray get started
with the ball on a field that is half open
and there Is not a man on any team I'm
this section of the Ak-Sar-Ben domain
who can catch him.
II now looks as IL Bob Magirl would
, have the place at right half. Bob knows
the game and has won many a victory in
the last two seasons for the Creighton
team. He is a hard, consistent player.
He is seldom out of the game and is hard
to hurt. His iron physique seems to be
immune to any foot ball injury.
Mckinney looks good for the other half.
He was captain of the Omaha High school
foot ball team last season and has a good
working knowledge OF the game. He is
fast and a hard, sure tackler. Hroneck,
however, viii give Mckinney a good race
for his place. HroDeck Is one of the re-
liable men OF last seasons team
Thus far Mcclure has the place at fult-
back nailed down. McGuir played the
same position last season and is a goSd
man. Baekule is another likely man for
this place, He has had plenty of foot ball
experience and is a hard man to stop
when he Is blowing through the line.
Jack Baldwin is showing up well at end
, and will no doubt get into some Of the
games. Tamesie is doing some strong
B bidding for a place as guard.
There is plenty OF spontaneous enthus-
} iasm among the students OF the university
over the team which will support the
D Blue and White this year. The coach also
? says everything looks promising. 1t is
therefore a safe bet that when the call is
made for material many men will respond.
Besides a short lecture on the principles
Of fine game and the new rules. Coach
