READY
FOR FOOTBALL

The Grand Junction high school
football squad, bristling with good
material, is, as yet. coachless and
the crying need for some energetic,
"heady" man to lead the team to VIC
tory this year is the greatest worry
the boys are facing at the present
time.
A fast, skillful team, averaging
close to $50 pounds, is ready for the
moulding fingers of a brainy college
man and the football lads are pineing
for someone, anyone, who can be
with them every evening and make
them go through the necessary
PAGES. 1t is fine, big squad without
a veteran leader. Capt Glen Walker
is expecting to get Coach Kacher, who
trained the boys last year, but his
acquisition is by no means a GER
tainty.
The list of boys who are down
on the slate for football practice is
as follows:
Duncan Collins, weight, 215
pounds; Henry Mahannah, $50: Ar
thur Chapman, 162; Robert Rhone,
1i7; Roland Desch. 16S: Glen
Walker, 14O; Archie sills, 14O; Earl
Fahrmyer, 1886: Don Mead. 146;
N'1ANs AAN"AAAs - % ANdlph
144; Glen Schrader, 146; Walter
Palmer, 1S0; Eugene Krohn, 1872;
Gecrge Gallupe. las; Walter Rhone,
1870; Red" Smith, 1922; Glenn Chez
die, 1856; Leonard Smith. 145; Mar
tin Beck, 145; Fred Peck, 1873; Au-
drey Stong 1873 pounds.
Many of these players are members
OF the team of last year and are fast
players. Arthur Chapman is trying
for the position of fullback this year,
Henry Mahannah will probably be a
tackle as will Glen Schrader, Robert
Rhone and George Gallupe want the
halves, and Walker and Palmer are
trying for the quarter. Roland Desch
viii doubtless be guard. while Wal
ter Rhone and Trewin want to be
ends. Duncan Collins will plug the
center position. without doubt due
TO his great weight Martin Beck
is after guardship and will probably
land 1t. The other players have not
been after any particular place, but
ready to try any. Sills may get an
end position.
In spite of the lack of a coach the
boys are practicing every night at the
fair grounds.

don't expect to devote much time to

submit my candidacy to the people

In reply to a iocular suggestion,
Judge Robertson disclaimed that his
political ambitions had anything to
do with his visit to Chickasha al this
time. Il don't have to apologize for
attending a meeting OF Odd Fellows "A
