ers Crowd.
WILL BE GOOD CLASH
Local Men Are Being Whipped Into
Shape and x. n. 8. Rioters Are
AnxiousIy Waiting for the
Curtain to 90 Up.

The football lid in Keokuk will be
pried off next Saturday, September
rs, when Keokuk High school and
Memphis High engage in the first
game of the season Memphis has a
good squad of athletes to send against
Coach Springer's proteges and the
first game promises to be more than
the usual curtain raiser, providing
the weather is of any sort to make
good football possible.
The Keo0,llk squad is being whip
ped into shape for the first con-
test and Coach Springer and Captain
Huiskamp both anticipate that the
local squad will be able to give a
good account OF themselves in the
clash. The Memphis bunch Is re-
ported to be exceedingly fast.
Memphis. last year defeated Kinks
willie and Kirksville defeated Keokuk
Coach Springer is finding lot OF
good material for the back field for
the purple and white squad. He IS
trying both Hubinger and Wells at
quarter, the job left vacant by Han-
cocks graduation. Hubinger is be-
ing groomed for the place in order
that Wells can go to end. where ne
starred last season. Beach and Lloyo
Roberts are fighting it out for one OF
the half back jobs. Willard Roberts
with his muscle and beef is the log
ical man for the full back job. but his
slowness in starting proved dig
handicap last year to the team and
to himself. Springer is trying to get
the big back into the way of getting
away fast, and if he does, Roberts is
going to be candidate for all-state
fullback.
In the line there will be Captain
Huis kamp at tackle, and Megchelsen
at center. Joy is trying out for end
and Evans will be one Of the guards.
