their minds. 1t is taken for granted
that Captain Arthur Howe will be head
coach and 1t is expected that Jim Scully
will be coach of the tackles. and Fran
els coach of the guards.
Captain Spalding said today that some
winter work would be ordered. The
uuarterbacks will be called out in the
gymnasium soon after college reopens,
about January Is, for some technical
detailed instruction. AS all three quar-
terbacks Of the eleven the past season
