third All-American aggregation last
fall.
This trio has formed the bulwark
around which the greatest Ameri-
can football team of the age" has
been constructed. The men are clean
living. spirited players of the type
that fears nothing and has the con-
fidence which drove the Yanks
smashing through the Hindenburg
line.
Mcmillan has played the quarter
position throughout his career.
Weaver has worked all his games at
center position for the Colonels,
while Roberts takes the full-back
job on offense and end on defense.
But Centre is not a one-man team

halls from Philadelphia.
Moran Has Small Squad.
Twenty-eight men are included
in the varsity squad of Centre but
more than 100 of the $50 men OF
Centre answered the call for foot
ball this fall.
Coach Morah's first word to the
squad was:
"All men on my teams gain their
places because of their fighting,
bulldog tenacity. I will pick every
man regardless of what he did last
year or in other years. The chance
lis open to all of you"
Characteristic of Capt. Mcmillan
were his first words to the team:
We are going to win our games
this fall and we are going to have
to train. The first man who breaks
training not only gets a beating
from me but I'll see to it that he
doesn't disgrace Centres campus
any more"
One man broke training last year,
it is reported, and reports also say
he has not visited the Coloners
campus since.
Centre lost three men from its
eleven of last year. Van Antwerp,
guard; Bell, end. and Davis, half
back. Coach Moran says their
places have been filled without any
loss of power.
So, Centres men are human, they
have had no more chance than any
other grid player. They are no
larger or more powerful than any
other men of the average football
team.
"Spirit," Is the Answer.
But-Centre has spirit, which ac-
cording to close observers of the
team, has never been equaled by a
collegiate eleven. The players love
and worship their coach. The coach
loves and worships his players. The
players regard each other in the
same light. Confidence and spirit
