Angustana college football men
face a hard week of practice IN
preparation of the coming game
Saturday when Swedbergss huskes
tourney to Monmouth to meet
Stegeman's eleven Monday after
noon Art went over the Millihn
tilt from beginning to end, show
ing his gridiron warriors wherein
their mistakes lay and outlining
methods of removing these faults
Half an hour was spent in signal
practice, and the rest of the time
was spent in charging up and down
the field. Yesterday Swedberg sent
his recruits through the regular
signal drill, and sent his second
string men against the regulars in
an hours scrimmage-
All of the Augie players, with the
exception OF Wood, came out of the
Miilikin game without serious in
puries, although several are suffer-
ing with charlie horses and minor
bruises. These will have been
worked out before the week end,
however, and everyone should be in
fit condition to go up against Mon
mouth. Solmonson replaces Wood
at center. He tips the scales at $50
pounds, and can be used to adVan-
tage anywhere in the line.
The game which the Lutheran
school put up against MiIlikin
showed that there are still some
faults which must be corrected
Tho defense OF the Augustana team
against aerial attack has improved
since the first of the season, but on
offensive play this method of at
tack is still weak. SWedberg will
devote much time this week to this
style of football, and hopes that his
proteges will have mastered it be-
fore the week end and use IL to adj
vantage against the Stegeman
crew. The Augie line did not hold
as it should have, and as it is cap
able of doing against the blue and
white machine, and charging tao
tics will also be given a good deal
of time. A new set of formations
and trick plays have also been
worked out by the Augustana men
tor and these will be used Saturday.
AS to the strength of the two
teams, dope again favors Angus
tana, but it is hoped that such an
upheavaI of said deductions will
not again take place as was the
case last Saturday. Stegeman has
only three letter men back this
year to play for the Monmouth
school. l. Wallace and Scott, left
end and left tackle, have played
three years for the visitors, and
Hofstetter is playing his second
year at right guard for the Mon
mouth aggregation. In the open
ing tilt they held the Eureka eleven
10 to 0. Stegeman's men showed
better football in this opening
game than they have displayed in
the last three. Iowa Wesleyan
went dowa TO defeat at their hands
z to 3, but the following week the
Lombard aggregation completely
swamped the Monmouth team, 80 to
o. Last Saturday Lake Forest also
handed them another trimming. &c
to 0. Monmouth has scored a total
of points as against 1873 points for
its opponents.
Last year Augustana defeated
Stegeman's hOpefuls, &c to 8. With
! seven men back from last year at
l Augustana in comparison to Mon
! mouths three, dope favors the
Rock Island school.
Two hundred students will ac-
company the team to Monmouth
Saturday. A special train has been
chartered and students and team
will leave enmasse Saturday morn
ing. The band will also make the
trim
