wealth Of good material and the team
expects to make a showing which viii
entitle the team to claim the cham
piOnsnip of Texas despite the fact
that no game will be played with the
University of Texas. There are now
on the field two fast teams either on
Of apparent championship caliber-
Two sets of fast heavy backs viii
be used during the season. At preS-
ent captain Bell and Macarthur at
halves, HigginbOtham at full and Her
ring and Beasley at halves, NesmirOcs--y
at full and Spake at quarter making the
other. Bell Beasley, Bateman and YES
mirOcSky are all stars of former seasons.
HigginbOtham did not join the squad
until last session, but was the most brill
liant player on any Of the company
teams. He is fast and hits the line like
a veteran. Herring played full back
at Allen academy two years. and while
he is too light for that position here,
his pOise, experience and knowledge of
the game make him valuable for the
position OF quarter Kern, who played
quarterback In most Of the games last
year, has been work at end, but his
experience makes it unnecessary for
him to be used at his usual place at this
time in the season especially in view
Of the fact that just at present ends
skilled in the game are needed. Girls
som. another ''I' man, has been used
at fuuback and end in practice, and is
fitted by experience and ability for
either position. Montgomery of MuskO-
gee, a pTOtege Of Chloe Kelley, the IA
nous indian quarterback Of A & NJ,
is another man that IS showing up good.
Plenty of Material Available.
Cusnman OF last years squad and
Shaw, a new man from the Fort Worth
high school, are prospective Centers,
with the advantage at present in IA
vOr Of Cushman. Lyles, seasoned
IT" man, and Miller, a sturdy 195-
pound man from Thurber. will probably
hold down the positions at guard most
of the time. In addition to Lambert
played two years on the GraysOn Col
lege team, and Parker, a former Austin
College star, barred by eligibility rules
last year, are available.
There is plenty Of material for ends.
The proposition that cOnfrOnts coach
Moran is to make choice of the best
men, NelmS, d fast little man from
Dallas who was on the squad last
ticUlarly on defensive The best men
rarely get by him He is the lightest
man on the squad-135 pOunds-bUt
will probably be used against some of
the weak teams Morrison, catcher on
the baseball team; Everett a fast track
man. WitherS, who was on the squad
last year, and Bryan, a new man with
preparatory school training are all
working hard for these positions. Kern
and GrissOm may fill the positions
when they are not put behind the line.
J. ?. Peutet a well developed French
man, who halls from Paris, France, and
who has played association football. is
doing earnest conscientious work un-
der Utay, but he lacks experience.
VesmirOcszy and HigginbOtham are
the mainstays for kicking and punting.
Both are good at drop and place kick
ing for songs and yell practice, and
be in danger when either of them is
within striking distance.
Rusty DOyveU Is Yell Leader.
Indy Millender the picturesque yell
leader of former years, will not be in
college this year, and Rusty DOwell
has been elected to lead the cheering.
The cadets have assembled every even
ing for song and yell practice, and
great enthusiasm has been aroused.
All are looking forward with eager
ness to the opening game with Daniel
Baker here next Sunday. The west
Texas school is reported to have an
good team this season, and
with the coaching of Freeland a dis
ciple of McGugin of Vanderbilt. they
ought to put up a pretty game fign-
The big game with Arkansas at the
Dallas fair is beginning to excite con-
siderable comment. The entire corps
viii go to Dallas in uniform, and a
great exhibition of genuine college
spirit may be expected
Moran is coaching his men for a va
riety of trick plays. as Bezedek, the
coach is noted for that style
Of work.
