Bellevue Meets
Amity Saturday
Presbyterian Line is Unusually Heavy
and Team is Rounding to in
Fine Shape.

Tuesday evening the student body Of
Bellevue college held a mass meeting In
Clarke hall and organized permanent
Rioters club for the foot ball season.
Speeches by Coach Mccoy and the players
aroused the greatest enthusiasm, assuring
the school that the material, the coach ana
everything that goes TO make up cham
plonship team is on the ground and asking
for the loyal support of the students. Fer
ris e. webb, Thomas F. Miller and Ray
Kearns are the officers of the new organi-
cation They will systematize and lead the
roofing at the games this fall
The first intercollegiate game OF the sea
son comes off on The Bellevue gridiron sat
urday afternoon with Amity college OF Col
lege Springs, Ia Although Amity is not in
the College league and is not very well
known In Nebraska foot bah circles, they
play good foot bali in fast company, and the
game Saturday will be we'll worth seeing.
The team Is rounding into shape very sat
isfactorily 1t is the policy Of Coach Nc
Coy not TO give any man a cinch on any
position, and so far the candidates for each
position have been used impartially In sig
nal practice AID scrimmage. The full back
position is the most hotly contested for;
Rice, Clabaugh, Fowler and Paulsen are
being used, with the honors about evenly
divided between Clabaugh and Rice. john
son at quarter handles the ball well, and is
fast gaining the confidence of the team and
fans. The line is a mountain Of strength.
Captain Barry has been working out at
tackle Instead Of his old position at center,
and will probably be kept there If man
can be found out of the abundance Of
heavy line material to I'll the central POSI-
ton. Mastin and Primrose are working at
the end; both men are fast and experienced,
and II they are kept Will be the biggest
pair of ends in the state, both men stand
ing over six feet The whole line will aver
age about 175. Jones and Joe Clabaugh,
Maxwell, Pausen and Holmes. all Of whom,
with the exception Of Maxwell, have played
intercollegiate foot ball at Bellevue in 'OS
and 'O9, are fighting FOR the half back po-
sition. The lineup for Saturdays game is
known only to Coach Mccoy, who is not
given to divulging his plans, but the team
that will line up against Iowa college will
surpass any foot ball machine turned out
at Bellevue for years.
