ham veteran of the 1919 squad,

sp6s shut since then he has been
dishtaee8 by Kahle, junior, who
ha sxlribited wonderful defensive
ability: Although John Scudder
won his letter playing guard last
season he has been displaced by
!. Lent and Augustine. The former,
who sis a-big, green freshman, with
slittI0 football experience before
coming to- Rutgers, has taken hold
sof G6ach -Sanford's teaching and
has eaeVeloped into an excellent
linesman. On account of his bulk
and ability he is frequently alter
mated between tackle and guard.

is,cared for by Sliker, who entered
Rutgers in 1915, but who was out
aof college for a time while in ma

his.;tsan's defeat.
Raul, at tackle, is another dan
gerous linesman. He tips the
scales at $50 pounds and stands q
feet & ,tnches. Last season he
proved valuable at the guard posi-
ton. -Baisley, another tackle, was
chosen end on the mythical All

four years while in high school,
sKingman and Dana Scudder were
tackles on the Rutgers Prep eleven
