Stanford's star punter of last year, is teaching the men how to boot the ball. Duffy Seay is handling the freshmen. Walter Powell, varsity coach last year, is acting in an ad visory capacity this season. Jack Patrick, who years ago was a mascot to Stanford varsity elevens. this year is captain of the team and is playing fullback. Art. Wilcox, cap. tain last season, is at half, and Doughty, a transfer from Texas, is expected to make the other half. Bob Shlaudeman, veteran quarter, is back at his post.
 On the line, the lightest man, "Swede" Larson, end, weighs l31 pounds and the heaviest, Bob Stice, tips the scales to 22S pounds. Stan ford's other end, Dick Pershing, is weighing at 175.
 Besides Larson and Pershing, can didateb for ends are Will Fawcett. former Whittier College player; Shorty" Mertz. who played on the Northwestern University team two years ago, and "Kewpie" Sprouil, varsity veteran.

 Morris Kirksey. Stanford's cham piOn sprinter, is out with the squad and may be used at halfback in some of the games. Kirksey was a star on the Cardinal rugby team several years ago.
