Coach Begins Cutting Down Squad
Scrimmage to Start This Week

Open season for football men has
been declared by Coach Gus Welch.
The big stick is about to fall. After
10 days of preliminary practice, the
coach is ready 10 begin eliminations
and the grind OF real work The
squad Of forty-odd men is to be cut
to three full teams, and scrimmage
will begin some time this week.
Chapel period theoretical work was
lnaugurated Tuesday morning, and
will continue every Tuesday and
Thursday morning until the team
has been whipped into shape.
Captain WEIGH has also developed
that disease so common to football
coaches known as "gloomia bearitis, y
which particularly affects the vocal
organs in such a way that he can
only talk about the weak points in
his team. The poor tackling of his
men and the acute shortage of eX-
perienced players on his squad are
coming in for their share of his COM
ment.
eve are getting fifty-fifty
break" said the Indian coach yester-
day. THE team is strong in some
points and mighty weak in others,
With only six letter men out on the
field and only one quarterback in
sight, the outlook for the heavy
schedule that has been. arranged is
none too encouraging. Dick Hanley
will 60 big at quarterback, but we
can't possibly go through the season
without at least one rel eff quarter
with no one showing up yet to suit

strong pair in the backfield, and
Jenne is developing into fairly
steady punter and kicker
The line is good-in spots, but
would be much stronger if ! could

other end position, and if this man
Herreid would show up"
Minor injuries and bruises are al
ready slowing up the progress OF the
squad. Hansen is out with q bad
knee and Dick Hanley has a bad
stone bruise.

men enrolled who are eligible to play
this year although there is plenty OF

material on hand to insure stiff COM
petition for the team. Hopes are
still entertained that Walt Herreid,
former tackle, and Fred Glover,
former backfieId man, will show up
in the next few days. This would
give the State College an even break
with the other conference schools, as
one more heavy man in the line and
another speedy backfield man would
round out the squad nicely. If these
two men do not show up, it will be
necessary to fill these places with
comparatively green men.
Captain Dick Hanley, who cap
tanned the famous Mare Island team
of 1913, is the only man out for
quarterback VINO has had any ex-
perience TO speak Of Lieutenant
Walter Brown, former second string
back and quarter on the Mare Island
toam of 1917, is now doing active
service in Hayti as an aviator, and
viii not be out of the service in time
TO enroll in college this fall 1t is
possible that the coach will be able
tc develop a quarterback out of Jen-
ne, who is showing up exceptionally
well as a punter and kicker.
In the bdckfield, ellis, w man of
1916, and Curley Skadan look best
for the fullb ok job, with Durr-
wachter promising them good bat
tie for the position. Glenn Glover
Yonne, Davis and Pink McIyor appear
to be leading the field for the half
positions. Jenne is another good
halfback. but may go either to the
line as end or understudy Dick Han
ley at quarter.
Plenty of Line Candidates
Roy Hanlcy and Bert Brooks, both
letter men, look good for the end
positions, though Brooks has always
played tackle before. Hamilton, an
other " man of 1916, is out for his
tackle position again, and goine
strong. Hamilton played on the
Nather Field service team last fall,
end saw seven months service as a
graduate flyer Trommenhauser'
former prep star, Allworth and Rufe
Schnebly are second string men out
for tackle.
The two King brothers, Carl and
RAYMOND, are out for guard and both
look good. Moran, Cook and Han
sen are also showing up we'll for that
position. Bob Schnebly, w man
Dutch Dunlap and Harry George are
the candidates for center. The big

hold the advantage his letter gives
him, as both Dunlap and George are
going strong.
Harold Hanley, KotulG and Bohan-
non are all out for the end position
and will give good account of them
selves when the team is picked.

to Doc Boiler for a suit. Speedy"
Fast weighs 225 pounds and is built
something like Joe Harter and Walt
Herreid, only taller, and promises to
make good line material.

THE AUTHOR DOES II ALL

Harold Bell Wright, author and
producer of The Shepherd of the
Hills" which comes to the Grand
theatre Tuesday and Wednesday,
September 80 and October /, refers
to his production not as a motion
picture in the same sense that others
are, but as a story told by the
camera,
The distinction is made by Mr..
Wright because of the fact that he
has merely transplanted his famous
book to tho screen page by page, re-
fusing absolutely to allow a profess
stonal scenario writer to prepare the
script.
So determined was the author to
transfer his writings TO the screen
exactly as Il was written and so OPP
posed 10 this idea were the staff OF
directors he employed at first, that
be discharged the entire aggrega-
ton, and acted as director, location
man and technical supervisor; in
fact he did everything himself but
actually turn the camera crank.
Mr.. Wright Les his own ideas
about motion pictures, In staging Il
book for the screen he contends that
the readers 0, any popular novel
would prefer TO see the story trans
ftwed to The silYer5hcet, rather than
a series of close ups" Of the stars
He has followed this idea in staging
The Shepherd of the Hills, and
those who see this film viii find it
to be merely a INSTALLATION of his
book as he told it in printed form
That mis- views on the subject are
not far wrong is evidenced by the
success That aas greeted his initial
cinema creation n every city where
it has been shown Tic Shepherd
o. the Hills" has tnrned out to be the
one real film sensation Of the year,
as # has eujoret extended runs in
the larger cities, and broke all at
tendance reco,4s in every playhouse
where it mas beal exhibited.

Paris. April 22.-The council Of
four decided today to discontinue its
hearings on the Chinese and Japan
csc claims to rights in Shantung
province, and agreed merely to
terminate Germany's rights in China
in the peace treaty, leaving the set
Element of the respective rights of
China and Japan to the German
concessions until later date.
This agreement is subject to the
approval OF China and Japan, whose
delegations have sent cablegrams to
their governments and express the
belief that their governments will
agree.
The postponment of the final set
Element is q compromise which
meets the demands Of neither China
nor Japan. Japan asked that the
German rights definitely be given to
it with the understanding that
it return them to China under GER
tain conditions.
China urged that the German
leases and concessions should be
definitely recognized as belonging to
China again, having been taken
from her forcibly by Germany.
The postponmen. of the final de-
cision leaves it uncertain whether
the respective rights of China and
Japan will be passed on in the final

Eight Year-Old Girl
and Her Little Chum
Aid Victory Loan Drive

Thelma Hanson, 8-year-old patri-
OF, thought to lend her voice and
energy to the Victory Loan drive
yesterday in an effort to bring her
daddy back from France. That ac-
counts for Thelma's absence from
home all yesterday afternoon.
Thelma conhded to her aunt, Ed
ma Hirschrnan, yesterday that she'd
like to go down and help swell the
crowd at the MONDAY Victory Loan
celebration. Auntie told Thelma
nothing doing. But when auntie
left the house, little Thelma shad-
owed her. Thelma met Orpha
Hitchings, 7-year-old neighbor.
Arm in arm they followed Thel-
mas aunt. Auntie got lost in the
crowd so they had to celebrate all
by themselves. Toward evening
they were awfully tired and were
roaming around the downtown
streets. A policeman took them to
the police station. Neither could
tell where she lived
After two hours wait for report
of two lost girls the police became
anxious. Thelma very quietly in
formed them then that her mother
had passed the police station win
dow about an hour before on her
way home from work. Thelma ex-
planned she didn't hail her mother
because she knew mother would take
her home.
