REAL PRACTICE ON MONDAY
FORMER HIGH SCHOOL STARS
PROMISE GLASS.

With the opening Of the first day of
school at the University of Utah Monday.
the Utah football enthusiasts will have an
opportunity TO size up the football squad
of the university for 1909. In former years
the men dragged in slowly to register,
and as a consequence the football tim
Der was not known until about two weeks
after registration opened. With the Charg-
ing Of the extra registration fee this year,
however, the men are all back and ready
for practice.
The main drawback so far is the absence
Of Benere Grant from the squad. Grant
with some other students, went to Logan
during the last track season and as q
result Of a trough house" there was dis
qualified by the faculty from partiClpa-
ton in all athletics or student body ac-
ever, that the action of the faculty will
soon be TescindGd so that Grant will
again be the man behind the football gun
at the University of Utah. In the past
years, Grant has shown wonderful head
work at quarter, and with the additional
year on his head it is expected that he
viii prove a marvel the present season,
The old men who will be back are Rich

Will be IN the squad, the salt Lake Higa

ton TO the squad.
