Review Of Spots

strong eleven. Reports from Algona,
however, would indicate that this
years team would not measure up to
the battling eleven Of 1916.
Marshalltown has lost two stars from
the backfield and graduation has
robbed the line Of two of the most
formidable defensive men in the state.
The outlook, however is bright for an
eleven which will not be far below that
OF last year in strength and versatility.
In some respects the team this year IL
expected to exceed last years titled
claimants. The forward wall appar-
emily will be lighter and less expert
enced but should show greater speed.
The backfield. while increasing speed,
will be handicapped by loss Of weight.
1t is probable that two inexperienced
men will fill the gaps in the backf1eld
made by the loss of Balch and Hurl-
burt, but the change may add to the
speed Of the team.
The Waterloo teams are said to have
suffered thru loss of men who have
been called to the colors, some Of the
players being members Of the Water
loo guard companies. The early show
ing Of the two elevens, however, has
been inspiring to coaches and follow
ers. Cedar Rapids has lost some OF
the mainstays Of the defense. it is re-
ported, but has gained one or two
players who are expected to fill the
shoes of the men graduated in an ac-
ceptable manner. Clinton and Daven-
port have made no report on their
teams thus far. but both should show
Improvement over last year Iowa
City also Is expected to have more
formidable eleven than in 1915.
1t Is the general opinion Of follow
ers OF the sport that the high school
teams this year will compare very
favorably with those Of the past, and
that for the most part the teams will
be more evenly matched in the more
important games.
