All of Coach Swedberg's PLAYERS
with the exception of Littig, sur
viTed the Wesleyan scrap without
mishap and are anxious to turn ths
tables on Millikin, for the defeat
which the Decatur school handed
them last year. Littig wrencbed
his knee again at Denomination and
will not be able TO participate
against Millikin-
Next week is homecoming week
at Augustana and the LutheFans
will face the hardest game left on
this years schedule. Last year
Coach Wann's eleven nosed Angie
out of the championship of the con-
ference by one touchdown. Thess
facts. homecoming at Augie, a for
midable opponent and a desire OF
revenge for last years defeat has
installed a spirit into Swedberg's
men which only a clean victory
will satisfy.
Swedberg and some of his men
witnessed the contest between Mil
likin and Knox at Galesburg Sat
arday, in which Miilikin triumph-
ed, to o. Coach Wann has deYel-
oped team which is strong in ev-
cry department of the game, and
Augie will have TO give everything
it has to win
Fridays game with Wesleyan
showed improvement along all lines
on the part Of Augie players. The
interference which was given was
near perfect, and the game also
brought to light some real ability
in open field running On the first
play after the kickoff, Vic Holland
greeted the Wesleyan team with a
40-yand run around left end, and
throughout the entire game was
one of Augustana's chief ground
gamers. Rog Peterson is also
showing some real class at quar-
ter. He runs the team like a vet
eran, and he, too, made some spec
tacular open field runs. Gully Al
sene took the pigskin for 35-yards
around left enu for Augie's first
touchdown. Alsene can also hit
the opponents line for large gains.
Augustana was penaliZed for
total of so yards as against 10 yards
penalization for Wesleyan. Three
times Augie was set back Is yards
L.
made its yards. Other penalizations
were called on Swedberg's men for
being offside and backfield in mo
ton.
Zinser, playing halfback for Yves
Ieyan, could do nothing against Au-
gustana. Eight yards was the most
he could gain at one time, and
these gains were few and far be-
tween. Haussler, Zinser's team
mate while playing with the Peo-
ria school. shared the same fate.
These two men are Wesleyan's
main ground gamers, and When
they could do nothing the entire
eleven was helpless. The 35-yard
mark was the closest Wesleyan
came to Augie's goal.
Wesleyan is certainly behind its
team. Four hundred are enrolled
in the college at Bloomington, and
401 were present at the game.
Their yelling would be a credit to
any school twice its size.
