With all but veteran players report
ing for practice, and achievements
by a dozen or more high school stars,
football prospects at State College
were never better for a successful
season. In fact, State rooters believe
they have every reason to expect an
absolutely clean slate, ever including
the game with the hitherto invincible
university squad.
Among the new men who will con-
tend for places on Coach Ewing's
team are:

Of 1913 team Is returning for practice.
Capt. Nelson, Stevens, Sheehan, Web
er, Miller, Skinner, Hoover, Peterson,
and a large number of 1914 reserves
are on hand. If States team doesn't
make a clean sweep this year, 1t can't
be done. This is the judgment Of
alumni and local fans who have "sized
up" the new and old men, and have
watched preliminary practice.
State has an excellent though hard
schedule Of games this year. Brook
ings enthusiasts are rejoicing because
