AUCIE HAPPY
At RETURN OF
ROC PETERSON
New Grid Material Continues En-.
rolling at the Local In
stitutiOn.

Three more football huskies
have been added to Art Swedberrs
string of recruits at Augustana
college. Rog Peterson, member Of
last years team despite advice Civ
en- him to stay out of football this
year on account of injuries incurred
last year, reported at practice night
before last Martin Cornell and
Roy Buelow are the other two men
who have been added TO Augie's
squad
Peterson played halfback and
full for the Lutherans last year,
and his return brings joy, not only
to Swedberg, but to the students
and followers of Augustana ath-
letics as well. Art has been work
ing the Moliner at quarter and he
is showing much adeptness at that
position He has also been using
2earce of Rockford at the same DO
sItIon. Both men are good field
generals, although Pearce will be
eligible to compete in only four
games. Peterson's services are in
dispenslble to Augie this year, and
his presence gives assurance of A
fast backfield, with Norton and Al
sene at half and Holland and Lit
tig at full
Martin Cornell made his first an
pearance at Augie two days ago.
He was used alternately at tackle
and guard last year, and can make
holes in the opponents line big
enough for an elephant to walk
through. He tips the scales at 2O5
and stands 6 feet Such a man in
the line sends shivers down his op-
posing mans back, and he should
be of great advantage to Swedberg
in producing d championship team.
Roy Buelow, the third new man,
is another Moline contribution. He
can be used at either guard or
tackle. Roy played three years for
the Maroon and White, and earned
the nickname of the Fighting Irish
man. He should be another valu-
able asset in Augie's line
No previous year IN the schools
history has brought out as much
schools have been very meager so
the present year. Those receiving
places on this years squad, espe-
clally in the line. can say that they
have accomplished something. In
tact, competition is so keen that
Art VIII have a problem in picking
his men. The following players
have been fighting 1t out for the
various positions: Ends, Walhe
Swanson, Wilson, Lincke; tackles,
Z. Peterson, SOImonson, SINUS An

peterson. center. Wood, Cornell
and LIncke; backfeld. Z. Larson,
Alsene, Littig, Holland, Rosen-
cranz, Norton, Johnson, Pearce. W.
Larson, Erickson and Al Olson.
Moline is certainly dong its part
toward bringing the laureIs to
Augle. Nine Moliners are trying
tor places on the varsity, namely:
Walue Swanson, Wilson, Wood,
Erickson. ". Larson. Al
5ene, Norton and Rog Peterson
With the opening contest with

lay, Art is sending his men through
some real workouts, and he - sat
SIZED with the results. Scrimmage
S being held every other night, and
some holly contested battles for
regular varsity positions are be-
ng fought out during these i'm
promptu tits. Wabash may not
know it, but she is in for a real
battle with Swedberg's lighting
Swedes.
Reports concerning the relative
strength of the other conference
