Chances Lie in Rockne's Abil-
ity to Develop Promising Ma
teriaI at South Bend.

OUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. 16.-
- Notre Dame is an unknown
~ quantity on the football field
this fall. Notre Danes hope kss
in the ability Of Knute X. Rockne
to develop another powerful eleven
out of promising material.
Carberry, who will captain the
team this year, was a sub end last
year. Castner. who startled the
East in the West Point and Rutgers
games by his sensational kicking
and running, was a sub back at that
time and it. is expected that this
fall he will be one of the mainstays
of the team.
other second string men who will
undoubtedly win berths this year are
Paul Lieb, who started in the West
Point game because of his slashing
style and ability to punt, who will be
developed into tackle, and Cotton,
tackle.
OF the new men who are expected
to make the team are ]. M. Miller,
brother of the famous Red Miller
who captained Notre Dame several
years ago, and Joseph Bergman
brother of two of the most famous
Irish players ever known.
Among the candidates experienced
in football who will report to Coach
Rockne are the following: Judson
Carberry (captain), end; Paul Cast
ner. Gust Desch. ]. NJ. Miller, Joseph
Bergman, Roy Wilcox, Patrick Con

PENN STATERS

Bezdek's Rebuilt Team Will Be
Tested Saturday Against St.
Bonayenture Orders.

- I6.-The 1922 football sea-
~ son will open for Hugo Bez-
dek's Penn State team next Sat-
urday when st. Bonaventure will
come here as the first test for
the new Nittany Lion. The show
ing of the Blue and White eleven
in this opening encounter will be
watched with interest, for the
coaches have had to rebuild an
other machine this fall around
the few veterans who remained
from the undefeated 1921 team.
II is still too early to accurately
predict the probable Penn State line
up for the game with the Saints. To
do so would be too read the mind
OF Hugo Bezdek, and 1t is even open
to question: as to whether the willy
Hugo has selected his first eleven
players as yet. However, unless
unforeseen injuries arise, the follow
ing veterans will probably line up
for the opening whistle on New
Beaver Field:
Captain Bentz. chunky center for
the past two seasons, will again hold
down the center of the line for Penn
State. His 200 pounds Of bone and
muscle will be barrier to any
drive of the opposing backs. At the
right guard there " Joe Bedenk. orN
of the stellar guards Of last season,
who will do even better things this
year.
Next to him, at right tackle, is the

into the air and tips the beam at a
mere 212 pounds. Tiny was good

ana he has been showing plenty OF
stuff in practice. Left tackle and
left guard are uncertain, but 1t Is
almost a sure bet that Dick
Schuster, Harold Logue or BIZ
Hamilton will fight 1t out for the
two berths. The remaining veteran
who is practically sure to start Is
Harry Wilson, the brilliant half
back.
The rest Of the backfield is
probIematical. Mike Palm, II he Is
in, condition to play, will probably
start at quarterback, with Ker'
stetter and Carson as his under

only IA pounds. has looked good
at the opposite half from Wilson
and may get the assignment.

STRONG LINE
is EXPECTED IN
NAVY ELEVEN
Able Material Also Reports to
Coach FoiwelI for the Back
field Positions.
BY HUGH r. RILEY

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 10.
vYTHILE it is realized that
w much work is to be done to
w develop and maintain a
team which will perform credit
ably the work before it this
season, there is much optimism at
the Naval Academy over the pros
poets of the football team for the
coming season. -,
Not only is there unusual
strength and experience at back
field and ends, but it is anticipated
that, in spite Of the serious losses
through graduation, the line will
be one of the heaviest and strong
est in the history of the Academy.
There will be fine scramble for
places on the line, and Folwell will
have the pick of more big men
than he has had during his in
cumbency as head coach at the
academy. -
Georgia Tech, the University OF
Pennsylvania in Pennsylvania
state, the contest against the Mill.
tary Academy. to be played at Phil
adelphia on November rs, remains
the big contest Of the year, prepar-
alton for which will be the main
object of the work of the whole
season.
Army Not Hard Hit.
Upon the whole, tho Army was
not quite 30 severely dealt with by
graduation as was the Navy,
though several good men were lost,
and for q time there was grave
danger that French, its star back,
would not be able to keep UP his
scholastic work. Though French is
assured of being with the Army
eleven another season, the fact
causes no worry at Annapolis, for
NE has never done anything brill
liant against the midshipmen, who
appear to have his measure COM
pletely. -.
Indications point to a splendid
contest between the Army and
Navy elevens this year. The time
has passed when the service play
ers were overcome by nervousness
when the day of the big game
arrived. Both teams are handled
Hy coaches Of too much experience
for this to be possible. and more
and more the service games are
coming to rival those between the
teams of the highest class. This
year, the winner of the game may
be ranked at or very near the top
OF the college heap.
Look to MacMahon.
There is much interest here over
the entry of MacNahon, from
Staunton Military Academy, at
West Point. This youth performed
very brilliantly against the Naval
plebes a few years ago, and II
was rumofed that he would enter
the Academy. However, with two
OF his teammates, he has become q
Military Cadet. p

course. the visitors prove unduly
troublesome, in which case the
varsity will hsveto bear the brunt
of the struggle.
Freshman practice has started in
earnest and Coach Hermann has a
fine looking squad on hand. They
will not open their season until
October Z, when Bellefonte Academy
will be the opposition.

MODERN GRID
PLAY REQUIRES
SIX WING MEN
Walter Eckersall Outlines Ad-
ditionaI Duties of End This
Season.
By WALTER ECKERSALL.

"THEN all college and univer-
" sity football squads settle
w down to strenuous practice
next week, one of the first thoughts
of every coach should be the de-
velopment of at least three sets of
ends, flank players who will be well
versed in all qualifications of the
position when the important games
are played during the reason.
This is a mighty good point for
high school coaches and captains 20
ponder over at the present time.
Most of the prep squads are hard at
work and the development Of more
than one pair Of ends should not be
lost sight Of. In recent years failure
to develop good second string ends
has resulted in defeats In important
struggles.
Ends Work Responsible.
The end of the present game Of
football is vastly different from the
wing player Of the old days when the
single line of defense was employed
and the end entrusted with the re.
sponsibility to nail the runner after
the interference had been smashed
by the defensive halfback.
Under the present style two line
defense the end is not only given the
responsibility to smash interference
but in some cases he must nail tho
runner. When the offense kicks, the
defensive end must chase the oppos
ing flank player down the field and
he must be continually on the alert
for forward passes.
Heavy Drain on Players.
On offense, the work Of the end Ia
even more strenuous. On all plays
sent off his side of the line he must
box the tackle. Plays which go &c
the other side call for him TO either
follow around or smash through and
take off some Of the secondary de
Tense. On other plays he must run
at top speed to get out In the open
to catch forward passes. On top oi
all this he must go down unier
kicks. .-.E.
II, therefore, win be seen that the
work of an end IL of the most siren
Gus sort and any coach who over
looks the point Of having more thar
one set of sterling flank PLAYERS viii
make a great mistake. This IL
especially true OF the new rule re
garding reconstruction. A player
taken out In the second half cannot
go back in the game. This nieant
the ends who start the second hall
must play all through.
Capable Subs Needed.
It is no football secret that coaches
always develop speedy players TO be
used In the closing minutes of play
against tired elevens. In most cases
these players are sneaked away or
trick plays which invariably cali fol
end runs. One can readily imagine
what a fast warrior would do against
a pair of tired ends.

OF ends IL a point which should moi
be overlooked by university and pre-
