S0u ~os1owo WANT 10 play on this
team you've got to come through with
the goods" said Coach vehmeier to
the university men yesterday after
noon. "and II you haven't the stun. I
will soon get some players that have"
At the practice yesterday Captain
Mcknight. Harris and Forester were
unable to do any work because of in
juries received in the fracas last Sat-
urday with Carleton. Forester will
probably be out of the game all the
rest OF the season, while the other
W men will likely scrimmage TODAY
or tomorrow,
The squad will leave FRIDAY noon
FOR st. Paul and on Saturday will try
conclusions with the Manchester col
lege team. Coach Vehme;er will not
give out any more signals until his
men have learned the old ones thor
oughly. Yesterday he made them
use several icy formations, however,
with the same signals.
Some Changes.
Johnson. Mason and Nelson were
used at passing the ball yesterday aft
ernoon. johnson has an advantage
over the other two men as he has had
considerable experience at the posi-
ton this season. Lynch has been TAX
en- from full and will be played at
right tackle from now on and Nc
Knight will be tried out at guard as
soon as he is able to get into scrim-
mage. Gill. who has been alternating
at half and tackle. will try out for
the other guard position. Harris
spent the time yesterday in showing
Metzger a few points about playing
left tackle. Bulge who has held down
one Of the guard Jobs Is a consistent
player and the coach has a hard
proposition on his hands to pick out
the man for this place If Bulge is
changed. Flint and .McClintock are
being used at right end for the pres
ent and Russell. who has been sta
toned there. may be played at quar-
ter. Dawson, a new man from Iowa.
has signifed his intention to try out
for end and with Schlosser at left end
these jobs will be we'll taken care of.
Pinkham n Batten the team
yesterday. but it is very uncertain
who will have the place permanently.
Robinson. Lowe and Russell at halves
satisfactory work in practice and If
they hold up as we'll in a real con
test the backf1eld will be fairly strong.
Coach Talks.
In speaking of the defeat last Sat-
urday Coach Vehmeier said: "There
Is not a gutter among my men and
they a play fine ball If they will
only see that they must work harder.
The trouble. it seems to me, is due
to the fact that the men have learned
to LOAF and it Is exceedingly hard to
digging all the time. We have to run
up against fellows that have trained
long and consistently and the u. N. D.
boys must do the same thing ii they
intend to get anywhere. Most Of the
players a play a star game If they
only make up their minds to learn to
do what they are told. There is no
question about the capability of my
men and I am, sure that the outcome
Of the remainder Of the games will be
i different.
the men Saturday and will make
changes whenever 1 see fit to do SO.
Every man who ia after a berth on
the squad has a good chance to make
1t and the sooner the fellows realize
this fact the better 1t will be for them.
When an experienced man finds out
that he Is in danger of losing his
place he will work harder to hold
Not Cutters.
Several Of the pink and green
players should have been on the side
lines in the recent contest. but the
fact hat they played in spite of their
injuries shows that they are not quit
tiers. Carleton had a splendid team
and 1t is no disgrace to be beaten by
such a squad. The latter team has
practiced several weeks longer than
the "U'' and there were tsixty-two can
didates out for the very first practice
Of the season and most Of these were
first class men.
Another thing that has hurt our
scrimmages Is the fact that the stu
dents have crowded onto the field
day after day and as a result the foot
ball men have been prevented from
carrying the ball and have missed
many tackles besides. We appreciate
the roofing. but 1t would be better
to have 1t from the sidelines.
During the next two days I expect
to give the squad hard workouts and
they must learn to hit the line low
and make tackles. It would be bet
ter to be penalized for making a fly
ing tackle than to have the opposing
side make a touchdown. OF curse
in every contest n Of the teams has
to lose. but I think North Dakota
should not always be the loser"
