Lineup Uncertain With
Two Backfields Working.

New spirit was injected into the
Earlham football camp yesterday
afternoon with the arrival of Chester
Coleman, an eX-Indiana university
star, who took up work at, the Quaker
college and was out at practice. Cole
man played at end for Indiana in 1911
and 1912 and was considered one of
the best players in the conference.
His swift accurate handling of the
forward pass made him one of the
most feared ends in the middle west.
He did not attend Indiana last year
and by the ruling Of the I. c. A. L.,
he will be >permitted to play in the
Earlham games this season.
This has relieved the mind of Coach
Whitesides who was at loss to know
who to work in at end. Coleman's ar
rival at the college was hailed with
delight by the students. He is all the
talk at the college today. 1t will take
some time for him to get back into
training again, after years rest from
football but from his actions in the
scrimmage last evening, it will not
take long He was put in for few
minutes. He will begin training i'm
mediately and it is expected that he
will prove an important factor in the
game with Wittenberg next Saturday.
Coleman halls from Lynn, Indiana,
and is taking regular work at the col

Plays Against Coach.
The greeting which he received from
Coach Whitesides yesterday was not
the same kind of greeting he received
two years ago. He played against
Whitesides when the state team play
ed Chicago the team on which the
Quaker coach was an important factor.
Whitesides knew him we'll and as a
matter of fact, he had reason to for
Colemans playing with the Scarlet
team the tive seasons was easy to re-
member. He is not a heavy man but
Is the speediest player ever seen in
an Earlham suit.
Another grilling scrimmage was
undergone by the Quaker warriors last
evening and several more Examinations
from the prospects We're made by
the coach. The players are being
pushed hard in preparation for the
first game of the season with Witten-
berg. The practice has not gone SO
far as yet to enable the coach to pick
out varsity" team and as a conse-
quence the two teams in scrimmage
last evening lined up differently.
Whitesides. as true follower of
Alonzo Stage is strong on the kicking
end of the game and Herb Logan, the
diminutive quarter back, is being
worked hard by the coach in antici-
patton of this.
Team Shows Speed
From all appearances, there is not
going to be any bright and shining
stars among the Quakers this year but
the coach is working on developing a
strong team, evenly balanced with
lots of speed. The team lacks the
weight of the Quaker teams of former
years and will probably not average
over 100 pounds, but an especially
speedy backfield is being developed,
which with the assistance of Coleman,
the speedy end, will furnish a combi-
nation that will be hard to beat.
Coach Whitesides will not make any
announcement regarding the probable
lineup for next Saturday and will not
even intimate who he intends to work
in the various positions From the
development in the scrimmage prac-
tice of the past few days the following
lineup appears to be the most promis- |
ing: Quarter back, Logan; halves. |
Thorton and Mills; full, Bowen;
ends. Coleman and Calvert: center, f!
Morrish; tackles, Senior and Fowler; |
guards, Kinnaman and GU.
Probably the best showing made by
any of the new players this season is |
that made by Morrish, the Paramount
Academy lad, who is trying for the
center position. Although he is some !
what green in the game he has shown
wonderful development the past week
and is counted on for much of the |
work in the coming games.

sides has over that of former years
s that he has two sets of halves to |
