SON.

Experimenting Is now over at the
Ottawa high school for this week any
way aaa Newberg will tonight out OF
possible twenty men pick ms
team to face West Aurora at Kine
Field next Saturday. The varsity viii
meet the alumni tonight at 4:S0 in
a practice game and after the game
he expects TO be able TO announce sat
urday's lineup.
Cars eligibility is under question
and it was decided that the little
quarter back will not be able to play
this year, but he has volunteered his
services to the coach and will have
charge of the second team
From the various combinations tried
in the last few days and from state
ments made by the local mentor ii ap.
pears that the lineup will follow very
closely this tentative lineup. Farmer
Antram, 1S5 pound giant tackle VIII
play fullback and his sensational
plunging promises 10 be one of the
features of this year $ team. Antram
has considerable speed and much
I. weight and is very hard 10 hurt. Once
in motion he is very hard to stop
and he went through the first team
lfne last night Tor i've and ten ward
2aips at time. On one smash last
night the farmer boy went five Yards
with eight players on his back, on an.
other play when Jobst was SLOW in get
2 ting started ne lat Jobst from behind
stand through for FIVE yards. Either
Red West or speed" Logan viii play
Anarter although Dammanan has an
outside chance If West PLAYS quarter
Logan will play an end and II Logan
plays quarter Red viii play halfback.
III West plays half back with Farrell the
Dekreen brothers viii play the ends
with O'Brien and Maher aud Dam
manan as outside chances. so il is
easy to see that the arrangement OF
the backfleld and ends depends en-
tirely on the work OF West and Logan
Roenig is showing the right kind OF
spirit and pep and ii appears has an
even chance with crowden for the
center VonckX and the fighting son
NY Calkins viii play the tackles from
present indications and promise 10 be
wonders at their positions as both are
fighters. At the guard the real fight
lies with GFiffiths and a newcomer by
the name of Stevenson having the
shade. But the fat kid by the name of
Jobst has chance TO play ii he gets
down to work and plays football.
Smith and Denney are both playing
good ball and promise to develop into
real players as both have size and
pluck the latter the most necessary re-
fnuisite of a player.
.,. When the varsity goes into action
tonight they will meet a team of the
old veterans who promise TO give
them run for their money. or course
the greatest handicap for the grads
Is that they are out of training But
a good many of the old timers Will
be on hand like Hallagan, Crawford
brothers, Link, Stoudt. Hampson,
Goodman, Carr and several others. A
game with the alumni will help ma
terially to get the high schoolin shape
and will give the coac a canee to see
his charges really perform under fire.
S1Nhe high school is picked as the favor
ties but you want to watch out for the
because as long as the old wind is
there and the cameis do not take ef-
feet they will show the varsity how to
play football
The Aurora Viewpoint. u
The Aurora Beacon News has the
following to say about the game for
next Saturday:
When Coach Ralph Fletcher takes
his heavyweights down to Ottawa, Sat
day, it will voyage to strange lands.
1t is seldom the teams of northern Hi
nois meet those of the central part Of
THE state, and as result the two teams
usually know very little of the strength
AOf the enemy. This much is known
of Ottawa; they are heavy, and have
bseven veterans back from last years
successful team. This would indicate
that they have sembIance Of for.
midable team, and will extend the Red
and Blue to the utmost.
Captain Nelson and Clancy both re-
ported for practice last night with
charley horses, sustained in the Ba-
tavia game, but they limbered up, and
will be in good shape for the down
state battle, it is predicted. Cigrand
who did major portion of the punt
ing in Saturdays game, is being ably
\ supported in this role by Jones and
Bracket. Every member of the back
Slid is trying his hand at hurting for
ward passes, with the end in view,
that all become as near equally prof
cient as possible.
Rest for Weary.
N Those members of the heavyweight
squad who participated in Saturdays
game were relieved from the scrim.
mage practice last night Other mem.
bers Of the squad scrimmaged against
the lightweights. All viii get into
strenuous action tonight.
Aurora does not predict a victory
I neither do we but both teams look fol
hard game so It ought to be a "rir
shorter Of" game.
