ARDA BOWSER'S
SHOES TO FILL

AhDA DOWOLh -
SHOES TO FILL.
Coach ''Pete' Reynolds Must
Find FuIIback to SuppIant
Departed Star for 2 Years.
II EwISBURG, Pa, Sept. o..
The first problem that will
present itself to "Pete" Rey-
nolds when the Bucknell Univer-
sity football squad reports for
practive here tomorrow will be to
find a man to replace Arda Bow
ser, the big fullback, who has
been the main scoring strength Of
the team during the last two sea-,
sons. Bowser will be in college,
but he has been declared ineligi-
BILE and will devote his football
efforts to assisting Coach Rey-
nolds and helping to find his sue
cessor.
burg Tech star, Is a strong con-
tender for the position. Two years
ago he was a regular halfback. Last
year he was not in college during
the first semester, but returned in
good shape I'm the second, leaving
for the summer vacation In the best
Of condition.
Another very likely candidate Is
Jim Denton. He IL a big man.
strong and just naturally athletic.
There are several smaller men
whose speed may land them In the
position. Bowser was the main
reliance for open field work.
Drum, OF North High School,
Syracuse, showed rare ability in this
respect, in spite OF the fact that he
was on the sidelines most OF the
season on account OF a broken jaw.
Jenkins, OF Scranton Tech, also
has speed and a great open field
stride.
Diehl, of Mt. Carmel, is another
promising youngster, and viii make
a Strong bid for the position.
So that, although Bowser's loss
will be severe blow. Coach Rey-
nolds has some high.class men in
sight for the position. All other
positions will be Temporarily filled
by regulars OF last years team.
Coach c. w. p. Reynolds will have
as a nucleus fourteen lettermen,
some Of them veterans Of three sea-
sons. To spur them to their best
efforts he will have about twenty
substitutes of considerable ability.
All are familiar with 'TPete's" sys-
tenn of play and should be in mid
season form as soon as they get
the summer kinks out of their
muscles. Several new athletes have
entered their credits, and, judging
their ability by their high school
records, they win make some of the
veterans hustle. ~
In the line II looks as though
things will begin about as they
ended last year. Bihl Is almost
sure to be fixture at center.
During the three years in which
he has snapped the ball into play
his work has been : so eminently
superior to that of rival candidates
that Il will be a great surprise if
anything excepting graduation re-
moves him from his job. Guards
Reed and Morrett, with Stuart and
Larson as alternates, and Tackles
Homan and Edgar, with McGraw
and Jemison as alternates. will
form a foundation for the flanking
positions. Butler and Julian are
reliable mechanics and win get the
first call for the extreme wing
duties. fr #ft 80
The quarterback berth promises
TO be the center of a lively contest.
Dayhoff has the advantage of ex-
perience, and will be displaced with
difficulty. but Foster was pressing
him hard for the job last year.
The former Oakmont High School
star excels In forward passing, and
Is conceded to be one OF the great
est players in this respect since the
days OF Cruikshank. He also car
ries the ball well, plays q strong
defensive game and is a fine field
general. The second aspirant who
will give Dayhoff trouble Is Den
ton. He has the advantage of size
and weight over both OF the other
contenders, and is reputed to lie q
high-class performer. .
Undoubtedly, some Of the regulars
will be nosed out, for the competi,
ton will be strong. and team OF
unusual strength is practically as
sured. otk
Everything 1, points to a sturdy
combination that will be able to
give and take on even terms. with
the formidable elevens with whDm
they are slated to do battle.
