of last year is working at the other po-
sition of half. He is fast charger and
has a great knack of dodging, being
good yardage maker on a broken field.
Paul Homan, who is back at his old
position at quarter, has established a
great record as a field general, and will
have no trouble in holding down that
position. There is possibility that he
may play at half if a man can be de-
veloped to take up the quarterback po-
sitiOn. He has had several years of
college football, and is without doubt
one Of the best men on the team. He
does great work at running back punts
and kick offs.
Three New Men.
The center of the line is made up of
three new men, Teeters, of Weiser high,
Weiser, Idaho, being at center; Ferris,
senior law, out for his first time, being
at one guard, and Pfeiffer, of Dayton
high, at the other.
Eric Colt, recently chosen captain of
this years team, is playing at one
tackle and Ben Neustal at the other.
Bolt has held his present job for the
past two years, and will be one of the
strongest members of the first eleven.
Neustal is an old man at the game, and
is doing good work.
The positions of ends are being filled
at present by Flegel and Bandervert,
Both have played guard during their
previous football career, and are not
much at home in their new positions as
yet.
Schedule Not Ready.
The schedule for this year has not
been entirely given out, several con.
tracts have been signed, but the dates
are optional, and will be arranged for
later.
The first game will, of course, be the
'varsity.alumni contest. This game is
scheduled for October 4. The alumni
will be exceptionally strong this year
and should have it over the varsity by
a large margin,
Probably the most important game Of
the season that will be played in Sa'
lem will be the game with the Univer'
sity Of Oregon. This contest will prob
ably occur Saturday, November LIST
Just one week before the Oregon elev
en- meet 0. A. C. in the big game at Al
bany.
As the university is not well under
way yet, and there will be much new
material come in with the starting Of
the law school, the first of October, il
is quite possible that DR., Sweetlant
will develop a strong eleven, although
the indications just at present are mo-
as favorable as they might be. Th'
doctor has turned out strong teams IL
the past wNh poorer material than IL
on hands at present to work with, an(
the majority Of the students are mo-
at all discouraged with the prospects.

Football practice at Cony is coming
along fine. Coach Soule has the
candidates out for daily practice, and
is putting them through some. stiff
work in preparation with the game,
Wednesday. with Skowhegan. So far
about 80 candidates have reported for
practice and it is probable that more
will be out. Purnton, who played st
quarter part of last season, is out
again for that position, and it seems
now that the position lays between
him and Miller. Purinton, although
light, proved to be a better general
of the two last seasons. Miller has
the advantage in weight and he also
runs the team in a fair manner so
that it is just a toss up between the
two. Gony promises to have strong
back field, this year. Captain Bah
bitt will probably be seen at left half,
while for the other half back position
and at full back Cooper, Samson and
Wyer are the candidates. All are
fast, aggressive players, and it looks
now like a speedy team for the High
school this season.

Maine Central on the east side of the
river is making the dirt fly at rapid
rate, and it is thought that the work of
clearing a place for the tracks will be
finished in about two weeks. The
most difficult part of the work was
done, Friday, when the shovel remov-
ed gravel from the highest part of the
bank, height of about 25 feet The
remainder of the work will be com
paratively easy for the height of the
bank now averages only about feet.
Except for one point where layer of
hard clay was taken out, the digging
has been comparatively easy. Most
of the gravel removed is being use
for grading the temporary track
which has been constructed for the
use of the bridge building company.
