TWO SQUADS ARE AT PRACTICE
Coach Grimth of Iowa Putting Men
Through Spring Foot Ball Work.

IOWA CITY, Ia, May S.-(Special) -
Good progress was made in the spring foot
ball practice last week and Coach John
Griffith is laying his plans for a series of
contests in passing and punting for COM
mencement week. Two teams ran signal
practice yesterday and the men displayed
lots Of ''pepn' despite the warm weather.
TIL addition Of the strong freshmen re-
cruits has encouraged Coach Griffith and
Captain Gross. A tackle from the fresh
men class By the name of Hanson has
proved the find of the spring in his ability
to boot the ball. He can kick it farther
than any of the varsity men and is ex-
pected to prove a second Kirk.
The fact that a large number of foot ball
men have been Interested in other sports
has been a decided handicap to Coach
Griffith. Quarterback Stewart is captain
OF the base ball team and has not been able
10 report at all for the pig skin practice.
Wagner, the ex-west high star has been
running signals at quarter, the position he
played on last falls freshmen team.
Murphy OF the freshmen eleven and Alder
man are both on the freshman track team
and can practice i~rregularly. Ehret has
been unable to report on account of heavy
school work and many of the ether foot
ball players are on the track and base ball
squads, so that the foot ball nractice has
been held under difficulties.
The prospects for the second annual in
terscholaristic field meet a week from to-
day are good. Many more schools have
been heard from this year than last and
the fact that the freshmen of Iowa and the
University OF Chicago are to clash will
materially aid the interest in the event
over the state.
The board OF control Of athletics is still
undecided over a track coach for next year.
II Is possible that no selection will be
made until next fall. Harold Thomas of
Ida Grove is still one of the prominent
candidates.
