IN Grid WORKOUT
Forty Candidates Respond to First
Call for Football Material at the
Rock Island High School.
BY GEORGE b. ADAMS.

Between 35 and 40 students of the
local high school answered Coach
Carl Anderson's call for football men
Thursday night. The coach marched
them up to the field back of the reser-
voir for the first practice of the sea-
SON The initial workout of the year
is usually the hardest, and last night
was no exception.
When the squad reached the field
they were split up in two divisions
under Coach Anderson and Dick Dopp.
They were then lined up and given
practice at running with the ball.
Forward pass work followed with the
usual routine practice that always ac-
companies the first workout of the
season
The lack of good quarterbacks
which was felt so deeply last year will
not trouble the coach this year. Three
fast men are out for the position
Ellinwood, McMullin and Bergendorf-
and all are strong contenders. With
Helmbeck as fullback, they will assist
in forming one of the fastest back
fields Rock Island has ever had in
high school teams
A good line is also expected this
year. Some of the strongest aspirants
for the line are Johnny Sullivan. Earl
Bassett, Stew" Battles, Henry Fran
ing, and number of others who dis
played ability during the workout
Hendren and Martin, reserve men last
year, were not on the field. but I'M
doubtedly will show up at the next
practice. Irving Anderson showed up
pretty strong and with little coach
ing Will form one of the dependable
men of the squad.
The letter men of last year who
returned to school showed the right
spirit by coming out for practice with
the hrst call for men. Heimbeck
During, Morris, Captain Dempsey,
Iaylor and Anderson all got into
