COACH GRADY IS PLEASED
New Men Show Up Well-PraCtlCe Game with
High School Is Played.

of last seasons stars, but Campbell
are back; there is an abundance of
good material I'm the new men, and
the college has in Coach Grady a
man who is capable of getting the
utmost out of the men, as has al
ready been shown by the fine pro-
gress the men have made.
Capt. kefgen will undoubtedly
be seen at end this year. Last
year he played behind the line, on
account of lack of backfleld mater
Pial. End is his natural position. A
; fast man of unerring judgment,
hard and sure tackler, good at car
ryIng the ball, and with that valu-
able faculty of ever following the
oval, kefgen should play such a
game as to be considered on the
al-state team.
For the other end there is Strif-
fler and Hyde. Both are of the
chunky type, and are fast, nervy
and heady. Either with a little
more knowledge of the game, add
ed to his four years of high school
experience should be capable of
taking care of the position.
VonThurn, captain '0o, and Mise
mar, last years tackle, are back 'on
the job There is no need of fear
ing that these positions will not be
properly filled. Law who played
tackle on last years team, is
out again, and with Johnson, a new
nan who halls from Cadillac, will
give the veterans a hard fight to
hold their places. johnson is lS0-
FOUNDER of the siX-foot-one variety.
From his first practice he has i'm
pressed everyone with his hard
and heady playing. He is fast and
there are rumorS that he will be
seen in the back field before long.
For guards Alma has as good
material as there is in the state.
Edgerton and Anderson played the
positions last year and impressed
everyone with their work-time
and again they broke the line,
throwing their opponents for losses
AT NJ. A. c. and Olivet the cry
was "Stop those guards"
Chapel the only fourth year
man on the team, is working hard
er than ever at center. His work at
center has been of the spectacular
sort. Playing strong defensive
game, and on the offensive, he Of
ten leads the ends down the field
on puntS and on-side kicks. Ma
bic, last years center on the Hud-
son high school, plays a strong
game, and will make good sub
at this position.
At quarterback the prettjest race
is on-Ewing, last years pivot, is
fighting with Harwood and Rogers
for the position. The three are the
fastest men on the field, excellent on
open-feld running, and strong on
running back punts. Harwood's
strongest point is his headwork,
while Ewing has two years of
experience on the varsity behind
him-any one of the three is
capable man.
At fullback Cook is working
daily. His punting alone would
assure him of a position on nearly
any college team. Last year he
out-punted every man Re met, of
tentimes his punts being good for
sixty yards. He is accurate in
handling the forward pass, and
seldom fails to gain when called
upon.
For the two halves Marks and
Hooper look like winners. Hooper,
vino played at half the last two
years, is sure ground-gainer and
plays mighty strong on the de-
Tense. Marks is new man. He
gained his experience on the Big
Rapids high teams of '0o and '07
THESE teams were topnotch con-.
