CElVEp IN SCRIMMAGE.

BY means of a short polishing scrim
mage to be held this afternoon al
King field, Coach Smith OF the high
school hopes to whip his machine into
shape for tomorrow's battle with the
fast Pontiac eleven, despite the fact
that he viii suffer q great handicap
Smith is sure that two Of his mos
valuable back field men. Captain
TOAD" Carey at left half and Mecken
stock at full back will be out OF the
affair tomorrow. Mcckenstock has de-
velopede very bad charley horse
which will keep him out of the game
tomorrow and possibly out of practice
for the next week. During the past
week he has been suffering from the
swollen limb and 1t caused him con
siderable pain. Rather than have 1t
take further effect, which might prove
dangerous, Coach Smith has decided
to give him rest and to nurse his
injury.
Carey, more than week ago, in
jured his leg in scrimmage, and ate"
he had almost recovered he gave II
another bump. Last Saturday he
went to Moline with the squad ard
started the game, but had to be with
drawn.
Besides these two men. Smith
might possibly be handicapped by the
loss of Farrell the other regular half
back, and Calkins, at tackle. Like the
other two men, they, too, are suffer
ing from leg injuries which might
keep them out Of the fun tomorrow.
There is Just slight possibility OF
them playing in the game fer short
time. but il their condition Is the
same before the game as it is at pres.
ent some OF the second team members
will have to substitute in their places
For a time Smith thought that Mess,
right end, would be out OF the game,
and until last evening had intended
to start Frazier in his place. Moss
broke his nose in scrimmage last Mon
day might Frazier, who has been
going pretty good, was scheduled to
take his place, but as he has disobey-
ed training rules Moss will be put
into the harness.
Bobby Carr will play full back II
Farrell cant get into the battle ana
take Meckenstock' place. Carr is a
good man on running interference
and Is also good on backing the lin
during the defense He hasn't played
a fun game this year, but indications
point to such a chance tomorrow
Johnson will take Carey's place
while Schoch will fill the vacancy left
by Farrell Schoch has already
shown Smith that he is capable Of
holding down that position and no
doubt will prove a valuable man il
that place against the Livingston
county seaters tomorrow. He is very
fast on his feet and one Of Smith $
most able yearling ground gamers.
johnson is also fast, strong run
ner and great tackler. He has the
weight and has toileI hard since the
opening of the season to make the
team. When the high school played
p, V. l.. G. he played very important
role in the game and was responsible
for two of the touchdowns scored
against the college eleven.
During the past week the high
school lads have drilled in very ar.
dent manner. Coach Smith demand
ed elertness and snap in every move
and he got plenty Of it, In running
signals there was dash and spirit thai
was admirable A recapitulation OF
the Ottawa.Moline game and Of the
game with Spring Valley showed tina
the local eleven was weak on the de
Tense Of forward passes and also OF
the line, but Smith has already over
come that He has developed linz
that will stand like a brick wall anJ
Pontiac will find it tough going whe'
