Muncie football fans, including

the Hoosier bailiwick emphasize
the fact of such . boast 10 because
the Muncie Flyers, Indiana's entry
into the A. A. P. F. C. il augmented

Pine Village team that held the In
dependents to . scoreless tie.
Muncie is jubilant over the ace
ouisition Of such former Pine VIII
layers as Archie Erehart, the one
big ground gamer OF last years
game: Chunk" Helvie, the stubby
little end; "Husk" Hathaway. the
beefy tackle; Bull" Davis, former
All-Western tackle, and two or
three lesser performers.
In the press notice received to-
day by The Argus sporting depart
ment. the Muncie management, per
William c. Connolly, Jr.. makes the
/ following prediction in view OF
Sundays game:
II feel that in the Flyers We
have a club lined up that will rate
at least 40 per cent stronger than
Pine Village did last year. and ii
Pine Village was able to hold the
Independents to q scoreless. tie, l
feel no hesitancy in predicting
that we will win Sunday; and We
are coming to Rock Island with
that intention"
Nucleus Of Flyers.
MIR. Connolly wishes The Argus to
call the attention of tri-city foot
bail fans to the following players.
who will be seen in action Sunday
in Muncie moleskin:
ARCHIE EREHART-His great
defensive game at right half was
the main factor last year in hold
ing the Independents to tie.
"COONIE CHECkAYE-This man
has p.ayed quarterback for Pine
Village, the Wabash A. A., and the
Fort Wayne Friars. and is regard
ed the greatest quarterback in the
Indiana sector. Football critics in
: that section assert that Checkaye
is the best quarterback in profess
sional football. During the last
eight years, he has played with the
. strongest teams in Indiana, Michi-
gan and Ohio. -.
"'CHUNk' HELVIE-His great
work at end for Pine Village last
year is, no doubt, still fresh in the
minds of your fans. Helvie gets
into every play and never quits.
"'HUSk' HATHAWAY--Captain
of Indiana University in 1917, per-
formed in the Pine Village line last
!, year against the Independents. 1t
: was he who stopped most Of the
plays on his side of the line and
forced the Independents to punt
, frequently. 'Husk' is even better
, this year
!. BULL DAVIS-His playing
while at Indiana university, gain.
+ ed him the honor of being selected
as one Of the All-Western tackles
Davis also played for Pine Village
last year against the Independents.

Of whom are former Indiana uni
versity captains; Reno at end ant
r Tibbs and Skinner on the line, for
