organized for the coming season.
The management is prepared to ar

who will make some of the vets
work hard to hold their old jobs.
Robert Cooper who held the full
back position for several years, has
been doing some flying for Uncle
Sam and will probably make some
of his opponents leave the ground
to stop him. Walter Kuhnert, a
we'll known boxer of Dauphin
county, will try to hold down right
half back.
Edward Attick To Play
Edward Attick, a former Pen
| brook star, will be out for left half
| back. Frank Bowers and Lewerne
Snavely, both of whom saw service
with Uncle Sam, will try for the
same position, Chester Cooper, q
star in former years, will try for
| his old position as quarter back.
The line, which will be stronger
than ever, will be composed of the
! following:
The center position will be we'll
taken care of by Bartels, an ex-
soldier and one of the best amateur
centers in this vicinity. The guard
position will be a hard struggle be-
tween w. Metka, Etzwiler, Parthe-
more. Sioux, and Still.
"Bing" Metka and big Jim" Av-
cry, a former Steelton High School
star, will shell shock the tackles of
the opposing teams. Metka weighs
| 200 pounds and Avery 100 pounds.
The candidates for ends are: E.
Hoover, ]. Cooper, Laudenslager, G.
Hoover and Keeter. Alleman and

opponents like they stopped the
