had two years experience and this
will be a strong factor in their
favor when Coach McAvoy picks
his men for the first game.
The Freshman class has some
very promising material in Ashen-
bach, Carter, McCorkindale, Hirsh-
man, Clancy, Selby, and Roach. In
addition to these men there are
several others out for the squad
who may prove to be dark horses"
later on.
During the signal practices held
this week, Coach has been trying
out Ashenbach at full, Carter and
Hirshman at guard, and Clancy,
Selby and Roach in the backtield
on the Varsity. From the form
displayed in these drills, all should
have very good chance to make
the team. "Bill' Stewart has been
taking care of the center position
in these preliminary tryouts and
seems to have first call over Nc
Corkindale, a likely looking Fresh
man.
With Stewart center, Carter and
Hirshman guards, Wilson and
Weldin tackles, Marston and Mey-
ers ends, Coach seems to have a
pretty formidable line. On the
secondary defense, Fidance at
quarter, Selby and Clancy at
halves and Ashenbach at full APP
pears to form a light but fast
backfield. This is the probable
lineup of the Varsity in their first
scrimmage.
Giles, Loose, Cantwell, M. PLAN,
L. PLAN, Bernardo, Holton, Will
Jams, Stevens, Mackey, Chambers,
Marshall, Gordy, Goggin, H. Alex

naming men who are striving to
gain a berth on the squad. Any

sity will mean that some of these
men will jump right into THEN

eleven.
Coach McAvoy has been up
against a stiff proposition this
years team as nucleus around
which to form his new combina-
ton. Captain Fidance, Ernie Will
son, and Weldin are the only men
left from last years star team.
Fitzpatrick, who played a star
game at end last year is not avail
able for the team because of a
lame shoulder, the result of an au-
tomobile accident he received last
summer. This means that Coach"
will have to depend almost entire
ly upon the Scrubs of last year

up new eleven. Of last years
scrubs, Meyers, Marston, Loose,
Gilman, Lauritsen, and "Chet'
Smith seem to have first call. In
signal drills held thus far, Mey-
ers and Marston have held down
the end positions on the Varsity.
Whether these men will retain
