MoRaANTowN. Oct. 21-In ad-
alton to checking the line assaults
Afda Bowser, the 1s1 pound full
hack Of Bucknell University here
tonorrow, and stemming the PUSHES
81 Hal, his 1888 pound running
the west Virginia eleven was
totay preparing especially for de-
tense against the sensational drop
kicks Of the Bucknell star. Bow
a.. q close followers of football
eil remember. was the leading
asid goal kicker in the United
states last fall. Against Ursinus
college he stood on the fifty yard
mark and kicked one between the
bars; against Gettysburg, Buck
nelIs old rival, he dropped n over
8 the 42-yard mark and another
from the 44-yard line; against
Muhlenburg he stood again at the
foIty.four yard line and kicked the
leather between the posts. HIS
Eiccessful drop-klcks from shorter
distances are numerous and report
has il that he IS not only one OF the
greatest distance kickers the game
has developed, but also one of the
most accurate. So highly develop
sdsls Bowser's drop kicking ability
mat his team does nut use the reg
punt when held. Tor downs, but
Bowser drops back and drop'ktcks
he bah down the held for distances
arying from fifty 10 seventy-five
ards. a drop kick gives an excel
lent opportunity for running nack
f4a Kick. hut Bowser's great ms
fance on his tries more than makes
si1n for this disadvantage. II IS re

FI6ked the ball a total distance oil
siFhty.two yards or just eighteen
-aTds less than the full length OF

Spears plans a special delehs9 W

BY careful nursing, Spears and
sGartmelI have gotten the entire
flock Of Mountaineer regulars IN
Stip.top physical condition for Buck

morrow his final choice Of every
man on his squad. What the line
4p5will be, will not be decided till
ln.the dressing room just before the

ieft tackle: Setron and Capt. Kay
8 the guards; Phil Hill at center;
fIaykns and Pierre Hill at ends;
Crayer at quarterback and Simon
snd Martin at the h%alfbacks, with
George. Hill at fullback. Joe Har-
rick, Howard, Lyall and Tallman
