Two crippcd teams and two hard
games are the diet for Colcn New,
burg's teams this Saturday The Grip.

lege gridiron the same grid on which
7. V. l. c. went down to 1850 de-
feat
Three of the regular first SQUAD will
not be able to make the jauut to
Pontiac. O'brieu has quit school,
Hontz Dekreon IS under one week S
suspension while Brick Farrell cap
tain OF the team wrenched his knee
in Tuesday nights practice and Will
be lucky II he is in shape for the
La Salle-Ottawa tilt the big classic
of the VALLEY on Nov. II.
With three OF his first squad, and
two OF them backfeld men, the local
mentors hopes are at the lowest ebb
for any game this year. II means that
he will have only one substitute back
field man. Bob" Dougherty will be
available except West is taken out of
end, which is not possible for there
is no substitute end available OF any
fair ability.
A new set of plays are being dished
out fer this week fracas. Plays that
are built around speed. for Ottawa S
backfeld will contain three light fast
speedy men. 4 dazzling forward pass
attack will be used with Dammann
passing and Guthrie receiving. Ii
this. combination does the work that
is contemplated of them. Ottawa will
stand more than a lighting chance.
Very little advance dope can be
gained on Pontiac as ottawa is the
olly team from this neck OF the woods
that plays there. 1t is known how
ever, that Pontiac beat FL Paso by
about a 24-0 score, FL Paso beat Wen
ona o, Wenona held p. V. l.. c. 20-20
and to get your dope YOU have got to
rate Ottawa and the south side coAeg
ians. In a regular game Ottawa could
probably beat the college team around
fifty points. Pontiac also beat Forrest
High school by a larger score than
Streator did, so there is another
chance for dope on the basis OF a
Streat Ottawa comparison
Victory is not predicted for Ottawa
but if Ottawa pays against Pontiac
like they did against Peoria Manual
they will be able 10 win.
The probable lineup for thevarsit!
at Pontiac will Se Hank Koenig al
center. Stevenson and Maher or Peirct
will be at guards, Antram and Calkin'
at tackles and West and Dekreon oil
the wings. Gutherie will be at tn
quarter position with Logan and act

and Johnson at fullback. Substitute
! who will make the trip will be Crow
