SQUAD
IS IMPROVING
Team Promises to Be a Win
ner-Several Are Helping
Coach Dunlap

About thirty-ave members Of the
varsity squad were out for the scrim.
mage Wednesday evening and forty
minutes OF hard work was given them.
several OF he new men are showing
up In stellar style and while the team
a c IN a promise Of something
better before the end of the season
displayed.
Lykken Of Grafton. playing tackle
on the scrub, Is showing up to great
advantage and he probably will be
transferred to the varsity before very
long. Holmes, a freshman, who is
holding down an. end on the scrub, Ia
also a conner and although small and
rather light, he shows class.
The team work is very ragged, ow-
Ing probably to the many changes
made in trying out various men,
which fails to give any one eleven
very long to work together. Coach
Dunlap ts busy sizing up the various
men by this means and according to a
statement made or. Wednesday even
Ing Is having q hard time of it. He
Will not be ready to announce the
lineup for the Saturday game with
the Grand Forks high school eleven
until Saturday morning.
Although the scrimmage practice
shows flaws in, the team. a slight i'm
provement has been observed and the
men are gradually working into a
condition that spells defeat for some
Of their opponents the coming season.
Manchester are all having troubles Of
he'll own and from the reports sent
out none of them will have any heav.
Ter or az heavy a team as that Of the
University Of North Dakota.
The members of the U. N. D. squad
are having a hard time of it trying to
break themselves Of trying to walk
through the line, instead Of charging
1T low m hitting their opponents with
a rush that means ground gained.
This fault is the main one con-
tend with. but it is slow work
developing speed and action in the
back field. Once that part of the
eleven gets started. it will take some
pretty fleet ends to save touchdowns.
but it is In getting off with a snap that
the trouble comes. All of the MEM
on the track. G%ullickson and Hemp
especially have proven their ability to
get close to the ten second fiat mark
in the 100 yards. but they do not de-
velop their usual speed in getting off
when the ball is passed. Notwithstand-
ing the many difficulties he has to
overcome, Coach Dunlop feels that it
is doubtful whether there mas ever
been a time when the University of
North Dakota has had such promising
material for the football squad and he
Is confident that the long end Of sew
eral games will rest with the U. N. d.
gridtron warriors at the end Of the
season. >... =, 4... -.
Professor McAllister is helping to
coach and is in charge of the linemen.
His work has not been without re-
suits as a decided improvement has
been noticed in the work of the men
who will respond to the cries Of
''stone WALL when the goal may be
threatened.
Tom Brannon and Marsh Brannon
are also out on the coaching job.
johnson was rendered the coaching Of
the second team but owing to his stud
les conflicting. he was forced to re-
sign. Since Coach Ansel Wineman
was laid out with a torn ligament in
his left ankle, johnson has stepped
into the vacancy and is doing all that
is possible to help turn out a winning
team. Daily practice will be held
from nov on.
