NULL IS CHOSEN AS
H. s. FOOTBALL COACH;
SCRIMMAGE STARTS

l.. R. Null, of Benton Harbor, Mich,
has been selected as physical director
and football coach for the high school.
He was to have charge Of the work at
the Fairgrounds Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Null is an experienced coach and
has played considerable football. He
played three years of high school foot
ball, and fullback with the Battle
Creek School of Physical Education
during his course there.
While in the army he was physical
director of his division and coached
the Saith division football team. Last
year he was connected with North
western Military and Naval Academy
at Lake Geneva, Wis, physical direc-
tor. Coach Null arrived Monday after
noon too late to take charge of the
team, but was to start his work Tues
day evening.
First Scrimmage Held.
First scrimmage occupied part of
the time for the members of the squad
Monday afternoon. After the usual
preliminary attacks on the helpless
dummy and vicious dives at the ball,
Coach Nicholas lined his men up in
two teams and let them stack up in
short scrimmage.
The high school squad looks good
for the first week Of practice and il
they continue to improve with the next
few weeks they should be able to show
some stiff competition to any of the
teams on their schedule. The scrim-
mage showed that they are going to
have a heavy, scrapping line and the
backfield will be above the average in
weight.
No first team was picked by the
high school mentor but from the way
the men were lined up little dope
could be had on the way the team will
probably look The backfield was COM
posed of Loehr and Clark at the half
back jobs and Brown at full. Jennings
was also taken from end and allowed
to demonstrate his worth at carrying
the ball. Bescher handled the team
from the quarter job most of the even
ing and looks like promising mater
ial.
The line was made up of Mattox at
center, Lowman and Martin at guard,
Green and Davis at tackle and Zutter-
meister and Jenning last end. Several
other men on the scrubs looked good
and any time may see a change in the
lineup.
The team as it lineup last evening
would average about 1876 pounds. This
is about five pounds lighter than last
years squad but with the experience
that the men had last year this little
difference in the matter of weight
should cut a small figure.
Lots of enthusiasm and determina-
ton was shown by practically all the
men out and with the fairly large num-
Der trying for positions, competition
will be keen at all times. The first
game of the season is little over
three weeks away and the new direc-
tor will be kept busy getting his men in
shape for the game with Warsaw,
which opens the season.

BIG FOOTBALL CAMPS
OF STATE TO START
FULL BLAST SOON

Notre Dame, Purdue and Indiana
universities, the three biggest football
camps in the state. the last to get
started, will begin regular practice
Wednesday, and at the same time
western conference teams in seven
other states will report for duty.
The season promises to be one Of
the hardest that Big Ten football has
ever gone through. Not only will con-
ference teams enjoy fierce competi-
ton among themselves, but they will
court honors with the biggest outfits
of the south and east in intersectional
games.
Illinois, with the strength of the
1919 championship and Zuppke's four
year coaching school behind it. has,
with two exceptions, acquired the heav-
lest schedule of the conference. Chi
cago and Minnesota also have six con-
ference games.
Open On October 9.
The first conference games of the
season will be played in greater Chi
cago on Oct. 9, Purdue going to the
Midway for the historic Maroon
Boiler Maker tussle, and Minnesota
travelling to Evanston to taste the
Purple. Minnesota plays North Da'
kota in a 'toughener" at Minneapolis
the week before.
There has not yet issued the famous
flash "Stagg Fears Purdue" but it is
soon expected. For what would be a
season without such an unusual gem
emanating from Chicago, the land OF
the bear-story and the home of the
brave?
Illinois has saved Ohio State for a
home attraction on November 80. II
is Ohio State that Illinois Inundated
in winning the title last year. Wis
consin, who defeated the Illinois In
1919, is given the next best position.
Slow and Easy.
| Indiana, Michigan and Iowa State
seem to have adopted a tadpole policy
| in carding conference games, but foul
appearing on their schedules in eacf
. instance. And of those, Indiana ha:
| scheduled but two out.state conference
games, one with PNrdue and the fourth
with Notre Dame. a school though o
Big Ten rating. not member of thu
conference. The west, with its biz
schedules, is really profiting the mos
by conference competition this year.
The conference games of especia
| interest to Hoosierland are the re
! sumption of the Indiana-Purdue classi,
at Lafayette, the Notre Dame-Purdu'
battle at South Bend on November 6
and the Notre Dame-Indiana contes
at Washington park the following Sat
urday. Northwestern also plays Pur
due here. Purdue has but one home
Big Ten game.
