games 10 be played this season.
As running backs. the most depend
ence is being placed I'm Craig and West
phal, both of whom did some brilliant
work last season. Westphal was cut
short in his work, however. as he broke
his leg while playing against the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania IN one Of the
early games of the season. Craig im-
proved in his work steadily, and made
some most brilliant runs toward the
end of the season. These two. with
Miles at quarterback are expected to
do some brilliant carrying of the ball
this year, as all have shown their ca
pabilities as open field runners. both
from the scrimmage and after receiving
a kick. The effort of the coaches is to
develop plenty of capable men in the
backfeld and not to depend upon a
regular arrangement and a few substi-
tntes. as has been the custom.

is being used for the position and there
are also Goodstein, a new man with eX-
perience in the position: Barlholdi who
has been on the squad for two seasons,
and Broadfoot, who has played at end.
Broadfoot does not weigh over 100
pounds. but he has had two or three
years experience on the crew and
wrestling squad, and Is very strong,
clever and game There should be no
trouble at all in developing a first class
center from this quartette

placed at guard. He Is the biggest man
on the squad, weighing 2l0 pounds, and
is active for his weight he played
four years at Tennessee Military lnsti-
tute, and one year at Southern Illinois
Normal University.
