Seventy-fve candidates reported
| to Burnham for practice last night
and indications are that South Bend
is to be represented by a strong
quintet as in former years. The
local mentor will build his five
around Capt Johnny Nyikos and Ike
Voedisch, both monogram men and
regulars of last years team The
other three regulars, Ollie Edwards
Former Capt. Art Scheer and Benny
Edner graduated last spring
First Game Dec. 10.
OF position prospects it can be
said that Johnny Nyikos will no
doubt play center and Ike Voedisch
may be coached for a forward berth
although it is likely he Will be used
at guard, a place where his services
would be invaluable. Forward can
dfdates are Huell Hollowell, Cookie
Edwards, Godfrey Miller, Carl Rock
stroh and Samuel Gross. The latter
came here from Elkhart at the be-
ginning Of the school year after hav-
ing played a prominent part on that
city's net squad last year. At the
uard berths. Rhoutsong, Farmer and
Rieder will fight it out for the rowing
guard position, providing Voedisch
is placed at back guard.
Burnham is expected TO WELD the
pruning knife before another week
passes and thereby take another i'm
portant step in preparation in the
Lane Tech game which is to be play
ed Dec. 3 on the home court. The
limited time for preparation will ex-
pedite the reducing OF the squad as
Burnham Is desirous of getting a
line on his men.
The twelve men who will receive
letters in football are Capt. 10 Sabo
John Nyikos, Earl Edwards, Mick
Buntman. Theodore Klosinski, Uric
Findley, John Lickey, Milton Farmer.
Ernest Rieder, John Voedisch. Huell
Holiowell and Noble Rhoutsong. OF
these FIVE graduate this year and the
remaining seven will be eligible for
football next season. Nyikos, Ed
wards. Voedisch, KIosinski and Bunt-
man are those TO graduate.
To Name Grid Captain.
Before the squad actually disbands
for the season they will elect a cap
tain for next season. South Bend
will be back in the state association
next year and will not meet teams
of the calibre which have been met
the past season. The schedule is
sure to be much easier and South
Bend Will be out to make a record.
Ernie Rieder, star tackle, who has
made a great record this season,
seems 10 be the popular choice for
the captaincy. Rieder. though weigh
ing only l55 pounds, played consist
emily well all season. The choice
will be made sometime this week in
Burnham's office. Monogram men
Will be eligible to take part IN the
election.
Despite the one-sided victory Of
the powerful Waite team over the
locals ct Toledo last Saturday, the
season Is considered a success here
as but two games were lost, and one
OF these, that to Flint, was lost by
one-point margin.
Praise Waite Team.
The team has only the highest
praise for the Waite aggregation, a
team. which Il is said, ranks we'll
with many strong smaller college
elevens. The Orange and Blue men
were greatly outweighed and this
proved an important factor as the
game progressed. the heavier Toledo
backs plowing through the South
Bend line almost at will and the pro-
teges of BurnhaIn never had a look
in after the first period.
The record for the season follows:
South Bend "A; Worthington (Ind) o
South Bend IS; Bryan co. 0.
South Bend u; Kalamazoo O.
South Bend 1S; Flint (Mich.) II.
South Bend 35; Tilden Tech (Chica-
gO) O.
South Bend 27; Grand Rapids o.
South Bend z; Loyola 0.
