COLLEGE TEAM
REQUIRES WORK
Coach Puts Men Through Pace
and Dickers For
Games

About two months work was the
cryptic comment of Coach Anse Cor
nedd after the conclusion of the foot
ball practice of the College of Idah =
gridiron artists at Recreation park
Wednesday evening.
Following a threat on the part of
Coach Cornell to refuse to continue
the work of coaching the squad unless
the men were more regular and
punctual in reporting for practice,
about rs huskies turned out for the
Wednesday evening melee. Several OF
the squad were soon incapicitated for
hard scrimmage when they suffered
minor bruises. OF these, the majority
were the men who have not been re-
porting regularly and who, the coach
believes, are far from being in shape
for the grind.
Prospects were rosy for a practice
game with Weiser or Nampa high
school for Saturday. Difficulty in OBJ
tanning early season games has made
it imperative that some fairly strong
aggregation be induced to come here
for battle in order to keep the men
on edge. Of the conference games
with Pocatello and Albion and the
Methodist college at Gooding, none
have SO far been scheduled Arrange
ments are now under way to perfect
the schedule shortly with the prospect
of the Pocatello team providing the
fun here for the Thanksgiving classic.
May Get Idaho Game.
Overtures have also been made to
the University of Idaho and it is pos
sible that Coach Bleamaster's team
may be seen in action here before the
present season closes.
While Coach Cornell is rather
pessimistic just now, he believes that
he has the material for good team.
Most of the men are comparatively
new at the game and a great deal of
work will be necessary to round them
into shape. Cornell, product of the
Bezdeck school. is giving his men the
same tyre of football that for years
has characterized the University of
Oregon attack and which so far Cor
nell has applied at the local college
without losing game.
VI the men who are reporting regu-
larly, Lowell at half back, Fouch of
Parma, new acquisition by the team
who is holding down right tackle and
Capt. Jim Jackson are the ones upon
whom the coach is counting most.
Each apparently has a cinch on the
first team lineup and are not only
capable playeds but manifest a. real
liking and interest in the game, thing
of considerable merit in the eyes of
the coach.
Tri-weekly Scrimmage.
Some of the other men are showing
class but they will have to keep on
their toes to insure job with the
regulars. New men are coming in and
with the large squad now on hand, the
coach anticipates SOME merry old bat
ties for recognition.
Scrimmage three times week and
hard signal practice on the other
nights have featured the work so far.
Some of the men, Sinking the absence
of the coach who is enabled to be with
them only on scrimmage nights, are
soewhat weak on signals Some good
stiff practice. Coach Cornell antici-
pates, will eliminate this difficulty.
The team Wednesday night lined up
as follows Center, Jim WEIGH of Ros-
well; right guard. Hewett of Roswell;
right tackle, Fouch of Parma; right
end, John Walsh, of Wendell and
James Hawkes. of Caldwell; left guard,
Wittiberg of Caldwell; left tackle, Jim
Jackson of Caldwell Captain; left
end, Frank Hartkoph and Gardner:
Lowell, Trout and Cook in the back
field
