the Seattle Y. M. G. A. H. r..
Carter, former Y. M. G. A. athle-
tic director, will handle the Sta
dunn mat men, and as Carter is
some wrestler himself, Moser ex-
poets a hard tussle at this meet.
No one has yet been elected
captain of the team to succeed
Talbot, who canno. help being
missed a little. Tie longshore-
man was a star among welters,
strong and clever. He is now at
tending the University of WASH
fngton. The association has an
experienced welter in AL Carlson,
but whether he will prove as
strong as Talbot is of course
problematical.
On the whole, however, In
structor Moser thinks the outlook
Is very bright, and confidently
expects to turn out a bunch of
winners.

Despite the fact that Harry
Talbot, captain Of the Y. M. G. A.
wrestlers, and star mat man for
several seasons, has left, Wrest-
ling Instructor N. d. Moser ex-
poets to turn out mighty strong
team this fall. The association
had a good bunch of grapplers
last year. but Mr.. Moser thinks
they will be even better this year.
He expects to turn out some
especially strong bantams and

The University of Puget Sound

out q number of men in different
positions during the game.
!. Although defeated by the sta,
dunn High second team Thursday
this coach was cheered up by the
showing of some of the men, who
give promise Of developing into
good footballers. 1t was the men
who came out every evening and
practiced faithfully that played
the best game. as usual.
Quarterback is a position that
is bothering the coach quite a lit
tie. 1t Is one OF the most Inn
portant positions on an eleven
and requires brains and quick
thinking ability. A man who had
been figured for the position fail
ed to perform up to standard, and
Mr.. Zoller will try out several
men today in an effort to get hold
OF one who can fill this response
Bile position.
changes are probable also in
the back field and at the end
positions. Billmeyer will be Civ
en- a trial at right half, and 1t is
likely Burton and he will alter

field.
There is some talk about the
