Jennison of Williston is back from
practice also and will be stronger

year. nR
Need Center Bad.
The universitYis very badly in need
of a center at this time and it is ex-
pected that many candidates will be
tried out. It--M{ss thought that Joe
Forester would be back for the Job
this year. but he- has gone to Leland
Stanford university at Palo Alto, Cal.
Forster was one Of the best centers

sltlons. Both are aggressive players
and Will be likely members Of the
squad. Don Payne will trv out for
quarterback. Payne played quarter
on the second string last fall and also
tried out on the first squad. He is
one OF the headiest players at the in
stltution. He is rather light, but what
ne lacks there he makes up in head
work. Payne can carry the ball about
as good as any man at the ~" He
Will he out for practice regularly,
James Carter of this city is out for
quarter also
There are several members of last
years second team who will make
strong bids for places on the first
squad this year The second team
played the first squad off it's feet on
several occasions. There is one thing
that the coach wants understood. and
that Is. that no man has his job
c1nched. The fact that man PLAYED
on the first team last year does nor
mean that he will make the squad on
his reputation. He will be required tn
show the goods this fall or he will find
himself out Of luck. Coach Gill is
here for work and expects to turn
out first class team.
