The boys. at least about eighteen, Of
them, have been showing up every
night for practice, but according to re.
ports they are not showing the inter-
est and enthusiasm they should. The
packs and the team are having a hard
tlme mastering the signals. according
to Coach O'Keefe probably from a
lack Of attention.
Only One scrimmage.
But one scrimmage practice has
been held, that occurring on Tuesday
This Is n thing that is giving the
oac considerable concern, although
probably eighteen have turned out
each night there have not been enough
to furnish any scrimmage that is
worth while. It is a question of hard
work before the local boys can cop
the state championship they r as
pfring to, and that is what is being
lodged at the present time.

locals playing a game in that city this

pay the expenses of the team but there
Is a provfso attached which demands
that in case the local boys do make the
trip. they must have a good clear title
on the state championship. The trip
to Duluth. which If made probably will
be on November 4, should prove a big
incentive. enough to make the locals
go after that state title.
Hard Game Saturday.
That a hard game will be played on
Saturday is promised by both coaches.
Coach Dunlap of the university has
had his men out nearly every night
this week and mas his team fairly well
sifted u for the opening game Of the
season. Coach o'keefe Of the high
school however promises to give the
university q. hard fight, and believes
that the score will not run over four
touch downs for the university. :.
Although nothing in the lineup is
definite. several men are holding their

by. Fishman and Feetham are holding
down the backfeld positions and
Payne will do the pass work. AL
though Gilby is light he is fast in get
ting off with the ball and is quick on
his feet. Fishman of last years team
will help materially, and will un.
doubtedly play fullback. Feeham is a
good man at left halfback.
On the line. Dryden. who Is a new
man. Is showing up we'll at guard. He
will probably make a good man for
the place. Lynch is bracing the left
side of the line considerably in his
position at left tackle. Welsh. an
other new man Is holding down the
left wing pob in good style. Hassell
has been shifted from the backfeld to
right end and is making good. Camp
bell and Armstrong are fighting it out
for the job at center and Ferguson is
making good at right tackle.
Wells and Batten are held in reserve
and Coulter who is at the present time
nursing a game knee, will be ready
when called.
The team for the year will be pref
ty well picked after the university
game. as that probably will be the first
time the men will be tried out owing
to the lack of second team men for
scrimmage work.
