The appearance on the field OF squad
OF more than 100 first year men trying
for the freshman eleven has attracted
attention away from the regulars, for
there are among the number some OF
the most likely youngsters seen at Vir-

tion OF the rule barring Illegal shifts
calls to mind the important part that Ed

powerful and yet light enough to be
fast. Ed Stinson was just that and
even though the smashing end must go

see Ed go via the graduation route in

downfall last autumn and without 1t

Coach Thorp is giving his men two
sessions every day. lining up three teams
for signal drill, punting and running I'M

stars at Fort Slocum to date are Carlson
and Toorock. This Is Toorocks first
year at football. having played basket
ball and baseball for the Hall OF Fame
University. his olaying shows he has a
rare natural ability as back. Carlson
is a man with lot of ability at punting
and throwing forwards.
Thorp does not believe In giving his
men heavy scrimmage too long before
the season opens because OF possible In
juries. Despite this. however, Sehres,
star quarter and veteran back. is laid up
with bad ankles. Rosenberg, an out
standing guard Of last years team, Is
also out OF the game with a bad

candidates there were only seven vet
erans. three OF whom had played regu-
larly last season. The rest OF the squad
was composed for the most part OF fresh
men direct from high schools or upper
classmen, who had had little or no
previous football experience.
The personnel of the squad has
changed but little during the last week,
but, nevertheless, the steady improve
