GOOD SQUAD OUT
FOR FOOTBALL At
THE UNIVERSITY
BaCkfieId to Be Especially
Strong; Line will Be Heavier
Though Few Old Men WIl
Play on It.

Looking over the football souad ).
lthe University of New Mexico rs
1 the season of 1915 forces ~
conclusion that the varsity eleven tb,.
fan will outweigh that of last yesr
/ by not less than seven or eight poiinfs
POSSIBLY by ten pounds. There fs
good nucleus Of last years men baet
/ in the game but not an that had beau
hoped for.
The line will be much heavier than
last years perhaps ten or twel,a
pounds would be fair estimate from
the material in sight The back field
ialso will be heavier and may be faster
The squad yesterday was the hrl-
est that ever donned varsity uniforms
at this stage Of the season and when
things get warmed up well il is prac-
tically a certainty that Coach II n
Hutchinson Will be in that enviable
position of having more men than he
can place.
New material will be the rule this
year and some of it unquesti0nabN Ia
good There are several high schools
that have played Glass A football for
the last few years who have at last
been persuaded to begin sending their
men to the university and Coach
Hutchinson has this year the best field
Of material which has even been pre-
sented to him He win not be-
hampered very much in making se-
leetions
AT center Wilson is a likely candl-
date. though the place easily bel0ngA
to Gass who played two years ago, if
he can be persuaded to follow the pig
skin this fall For tackles and guards
there are Langston, Portales man,
Erb, who halls from Roswell Nc
Wicker of Dexter, and several others
Chester Lee will be missed In the line
up, however, for his playing last year
did much to strengthen the line and
he had weight enough TO hold his own
with the best Of them. Shields will
not be back to play end this year but
Brorien is out for the team and ought
10 hold his place, won last year. As
a partner Zeke Chavez, freshman
registering from the Albuquerque
high school, is likely to fill the bill
Zeke played a hard, fast and heady
game last year and was good on ham
ding passes. Those who have fol-
lowed his playing career expect him
to make the place without great diff
ficulty. Emmons will try out for end
%
improved by faithful work for the
past two years.
Behind the line there is good ma
terial for quarter ana a surprisingly
good fullback. For the first place
Lapraik, veteran of three seasons OF
varsity football, and Thackeray a
freshman entering from the local high
school are the likely candidates.
AT fullback Wigeley and BalcomD
are probable selections, with Wigeley
a favorite, Notwithstanding that Bal
comb captains the team.
For halves there are Aydelotte ana
McGary, who played fullback some
times last year. Of the smashing type
and Friday of the dashing type Ayde-
Iotte has considerable speed and hits
hard Friday will be practically GER
tain of the other place if he has tax
en- on a little weight this summer or
If he shows speed enough to compen-
safe for McGary's weight
OF course, such a selection is pure
ly tentative and is likely to be chang
ed in half a dozen particulars before
the first game is played. 1t takes iil-
tie consideration Of some dozen or
more men who are trying for the team
hut who have not been mentioned, ior
instance, Crebbs. who halls from KAN
sas, and who bears all the earmaiks
Of big-college training for at least
year. Then there is Sinescio, of )aW-
son. who played on the second team
at the agricultural college last year
And there are others.
The varsity schedule this year is
somewhat disarranged as yet While
il is known that games will be playeu
with the cadets from Roswell ana lhe
University Of Arizona, with Whlcn
athletic relations are TO be resumed
here. the only date yet fixed upon
is with the agricultural college a'
Mesilla Park on Thanksgiving day.
Three more new students register
ed at the university YESTERDAY prlhs-
ing the total up to 1856. Last Ylo'
at the corresponding period the GU.
rollment was ninety-three. There aiv i,
good many students who are sun
working and who have not register
ed 1t seems safe to prophesy an en-
rollment of at least 170 before tU'
end of the first semester.
