develop into one Of the largest en-
gineering schools in the country. The
campus, with its wonderful forest
trees. rolling ground and small lake.
is without question as beautiful as
any in the country. Eventually the
athletic field will be built north of
the main building. where a hillside will
furnish a natural wall for a stadium
and concrete bleachers.
One advantage of the new campus
is the football men Will not nave to
practice and play the game while the
gridiron is covered with great clouds
OF black coal smoke from trains and
switch engines, as was in the old
days when the Engineers school was
located near the railroad yards
Millen Pushing Men
Coach Millen, former assistant coach
at Indiana Univers. .ty, is not sparing
his players, for on Saturday. Sept. 30,
Rose Poly opens its season. meeting
Eastern Illinois State Normal at
Charleston. These two teams have
net on the gridiron almost every sea
son for more than twenty-five years.
Rose Poly has the lightest team
tnis season that ever represented the
Terre Haute school However, the
Engineers can move. The Engineers
have plenty of pep" and their scrim-
mage practice was good for the style
Of play was open and was replete
with forward passes and long runs.
Rose Poly is fortunate this year in
having two men who are exceptional
open field runners and who will prove
dangerous TO any team on the Engi-
neers' schedule. These two men are
Henry Miller. who played with the
Louisville, Ky, Manual Training High
School. and Hank" McCOmb, former
star on the Wiley High School in
Terre Haute. These two boys are
Coach AIiller's pair of aces this sea
son.
Miller is the boy who last year was
awarded the Yale medal for being the
best student and the best all-around
athlete in the Louisville high schools.
Just what he can do in other
branches Of athletics is not known,
hut there was one evident fact and
that is he can play football. From
the time he seized the ball on a long
kick off at the start Of scrimmage
and raced TO the middle of the field
before being downed, until he scored
the final touchdown Of the scrim-
mage. Miller was the star. He can
pass the ball, and is a wonderful open
field runner. Miller is without ques-
ton one Of the best backfeld men
who ever played at Rose Poly, and
the followers Of the Engineers are
not forgetting such stars Of other
years as Carter, Bradford, Backman
and Holman.
Hank" McComb worked well with
Miller and this combination is sure to
cause Hoosier college defensive play
ers plenty Of trouble. McCOmb, one
Of the Iightest back field men in the
State. is a streak and if he gets loose
ne is gone.
Jack McDargh, center, is back this
year and fits in we'll in the style Of
play.
Other line men who won their let
ters at Rose Poly last year and who
are back are Herman Heck, guard,
and Buford Tyler and John More
head, tackles. Walter Boyd and Rob
ert Wolf, end men of last seasons
team. give the coach two fine forward
pass handlers.

The Rose Poly second team Of last
year also furnished this seasons squad
with possible varsity material. Sam
Smith, quarter back; Lester Glenn.
guard; Franklin Bogardus and
Shuts" Lentz, ends, are all football

FIRST team.
Lee Pickel, former Wiley high school
athlete and last years star full back
on the Rose Poly team. is out because
Of an injury received in practice, but
he will be back in the regular lineup
b.fore the season is far gone.

new players who will crowd some Of
the last year stars off of the varsity.

Wiley high school man, is one of these.
Paul Nayrose, half back, Terre Haute

school athlete. should make good at
tackle and could be used at center.

back field man. Edison White, tackle.
Il former Wiley high school star. will
probably land line position at Rose.
Pinyan, Memphis CTenn0 athlete,
is after a half back position. Carl

School athlete, is a half who has a
good chance to make the varsity. Ev-
