Be that as it nay the fact remains
that the Indiana-Minnesota game is
the only Big Ten Conference contest
scheduled to be played in Indianapolis,
and what the Indianapolis fans want
to know is what kind of a will
represent the State Of Indiana against
the invaders.
There were ffty-six members of
the varsity squad in suit yesterday.
On the hill near the gymnasium where
the new stadium will be erected a
large freshman squad worked out. 1t
IS said that the freshman team is the
best ever in the history Of Indiana
The only ~scrimmage held on Jordan
field was between varsity squad line
men and it lasted about twenty min
utes. No chance was given to judge
the power Of the back field attack, as
The backs did not scrimmage.
Plenty Of Coaches
If numbers count for anything In
LLAMA certainly should be we'll coached.
There are more football coaches at
Bloomington than ever in the history
II the university. Pat Heron of
Pittsburgh University is head coach;
Shifty" Bolen, former Ohio State
player, is line coach; Leslie Mann,
Who coached football at Rice Insti
tute, Texas, and played outf1eld with
he St. Louis Cardinals, is coach Of
he back field men, while Frank Muir
-ay Of Princeton University is teach
.ng the gridders the art Of punting
md drop-kicking. These four varsity
squad coaches do not have to worry
about the freshmen, for there are
three coaches directing the 1rst-year
men. They are Tom Whalen, former
Georgetown and Dartmouth player,
head coach of the freshman squad;
Kenneth Brewer, former Indiana Uni
versity player, who has been a prom
inent figure as a coach at various
colleges and who coached ShoItridge
High School in 1903 and 1904, who is
coaching the line men, and Pat Doni-
van, former Indiana man, who is
coaching ends and backs.
In spite OF the fact that there are
seven coaches at Indiana. more than
m hour of the two and a half hours
Of practice time was given to teach
ng rudiments Of the grid game to
varsity squad men. many OF whom
viii not even have a chance against
Minnesota.
The men worked hard and seemed
D have plenty OF fight in the brief
-crimmage practice. The varsity. the
eleven men whom it is believed will
art the game against Minnesota,
,-ent through more than an hour Of
gnal drill. At times they stepped
trough the plays liks clockwork, but
-5metimes the play vas ragged
Planning Defense
There was no drilling on defense.
iowever, it is evident that Coach
}Ierron is carefully planning a de
-anse 10 halt the powerful Minnesota
tack. The strategy board met in
,erron's Office an hour before prac-
zee started yesterday. and the maps
the Minnesota plays brought back
y the scouts who saw Bill Spauld-
.lg's team in action last Saturday
..ere given the once over. A defense
as planned for every play and the
Minnesota plays were taught to the
eshmen so they can try them out on
re varsity.
Never before has there been better
spirit among the players. Never has
student body been more sohdly back
a team shan this veal This is sure
count Saturday, for it viii put the

There is n big thing in favor Of
indiana in its Minnesota game. This
the fact that there are eleven Il"
aen on the varsity squad and these
experienced players are sur to steady
ne new varsity men in big games. It
'~equires a large percentage of veteran
OotbaH players to hold a team steady

It was interesting to watch the play
of some of last years freshmen who
are playing their first seaso on the
varsity. Some Of these men are fast
and have the reputation Of having
plenty Of fight. Stewart Butler. form
err Wabash High School star. has
always played center. but he was shift

real football player. Joe Sloate OF
