COT ETTER OF
CORNELL HERE
FOR A TRY0UT
Newest Candidate for Independents
Played Halfbaek Vita Uni
yersify Squad.

Cot Etter, formerly haifback at
Cornell university, Ithaca, n. Y, is
the latest candidate for place on
the Independents roster. He halls
from Sigourney. Iowa Etter was
regular on the Cornell teams from
1914 to 1917, during which he car
ried the brunt of the kicking and
passing efforts OF the team He is
anxious to get back into the game
and promises to make the other
prospects do some hustling To beat
him out In playing condition he
ways about ITO pounds. He was
slated to work out for the first
time with the team this afternoon.
That the Independents will be in
excellent condition to give the De-
troit Tigers a strenuous run for
the honors of next Sundays open
ing battle at Douglas park seems
foregone conclusion. Signals and
plays were run off smoothly for
over two hours yesterday after
noon. Sore muscles and general
feeling of stiffness experienced by
the athletes during the initial week
of drill have given way to a sense
of fitness and every man is rarin'
to get into the mixup.
Coach Frank Coughlin is expect
ed back by tomorrow or Friday to
put in the finishing touches TO the
teamwork and perfect the forward
pass attack. The former Notre
Dame star is highly pleased with
the unlimited material Manager
Walt Flanagan has placed at his
call and he is confident that a win
ming aggregation can be nodded
therefrom-
1t is too early yet to present a
probable lineup for the initial con-
test. Coughlin announced that he
would use as many players as the
game may warrant, in order to
gain first hand knowledge of the
merits of each candidate. About
twenty-five men are expected to be
in uniform.
Generals on Sale.
General admission tickets at
$110 can now be procured at each
of the three places where the re-
served sections are being handled:
Foley's drug store, Martins l6 and
Hickey's s. Fans who intend to
purchase the general admission are
urged to do so before game time in
order to lessen the congestion at
the gates. Bleachers that have
been erected at the west end of
the playing field and the entire
standing section on the south side
west of the grandstand are for the
accommodation of fans at the dol
lar price. IL is intended to erect
bleachers later on the space now
listed as standing room, but it will
probably not be possible to do this
before the first game.
All the grandstand and box seats
are TO be had at Foley's. Martins
store is handling the north center
section of bleachers and part OF
one end of the lesser seats. Hick-
eys is taking care OF that
portion OF bleacher reserva-
tons at the east end of the north
side. The permanent bIeachers at
the east end of the field have not
been placed on sale yet.
Calls for seats are being received
at a rapid rate and there is every
indication that even standing room
VIII be at a premium before game
time Sunday. Manager Flanagan
received a long distance call from !
Peoria yesterday for four box
seats This is an indication of the |
interest the cities within easy ac-
cess OF Rock Island are showing in i
the team. 1t is planned to place |
blueprints of all seating in Martin |
and Hickey stores in Davenport !
and Moline, and in Aledo. Gales |
burg, Muscatine and Clinton for
the convenience of football deyo- /
tees IN those cities. The purchaser /
can select the seat or seats he /
wants and the order will be filled
in Rock Island.
