High School Prospects.
The varsity eleven this year will
be comprised largely of new men, ac-
cording to Davis, who states that the
field is wide open to high school men
who will attend the university for the
first time this year.A The coach has
a line on a splendid string of embryo
varsity men and expects to form a
formidable lineup from the new ma
lerial.
Several of~,the most prominent of
prep school athletes in the state have
declared their intention of entering
the university this year. Among these
men are three or four stars in partic-
ular who have played on SOM OF the
best teams the army has developed.
These men who starred in high school
football and later played with army
aggregations will prove strong mate
rial from which to pick regulars for
the varsity.
Old Players Expected.
-Four veterans have definitely de-
again hit the gridiron. These men are
Frank Richards, Ellis, Hansen and
Mcmillan johnson who played center
on the champion A. E. F.. eleven.
These men who are all players Of ex-
perience, will form a strong nucleus
for the 1919 team.
There is a possibility that other
old-timers ma return and efforts are
being made to secure Porter, Joe
Boyd, B. Melvin Johnson. Joe Nor
rtson and Delaney. as we'll as other
many Of these men are planning to
return to the university.
Other Prospects,
University fans and other sports
men about the state r watching
of an idea in the mind of "Jackrab-
Bit Jacob Of Grand Forks, who has
declared hat there is a possibility
that he may enter the university here
this fall instead of returning to Wis.
consin, where he was of the best
bets on the Badger eleven before en-.
tering the aviation service.
Jack Vaughn, a highly recommend.
ed letter man from Colorado univer'
sity, who has been working in Crane
Forks this summer, has also declared

urn out for football. Vaughn played
a fine game at Colorado and is looked

the army after two years service a!
a lieutenant.

there will be, so there is every oppor
tunity in the world for the high schoo
payers who enter the university thi
