THING BESIDES a CONSISTENT
OUTFIT At LOSING GAMES.

After two reverses ID became appar.
ent last night that several changes
would be made in the line up at the
high school by Coach Newberg be-
tore Oct. IA, when the high school
meets Mendoza in their third game of
the year Upon the result OF the Men.
dota-Ottawa game depends the dope
on the La Salle-Ottawa game, the big
gest football classic in La Sale county,
to be held ON Armistice day on King
field. La Sale beat Mendoza, &c to 0,
80 the result OF the 0ttawa-M Mendoza
game Saturday will have to be the
basis of comparison between the two
teams.
Hank Kocnig has returned and is
the most likely choice for center, hav-
ing fight and pep. the requirements of
any man to make football player.
Art johnson has been shifted to
full back and West has been tempo
rarily placed on the second team
johnson is expected to make a good
full back on both offense and defense
Logan Is still at the pilot position, but
Fritz" Dammanan is Also being tried
out at the pivot post. Both men are
showing up well, so it is very hard TO
say who will get the choice Saturday.
"Hontz' Dekreon and Brick Farrell
were at the halves last night, but sew
eral other want to get in the back |
field, also. West and Bradford are
the two most dangerous competitors
for the place. West said he would be |
playing half back or end before Sat !
urday's game II work will do IT, Brad |
ford says, MY brothers made the |
team, so why can't II" and is deter
mined to make half back job mighty |
sudden.
OBrien and Guthrie were both tried |
out on the wings last night after the |
good showing they made Saturday, but |
Pete" Dekreon and Red" West may |
be found on the wings Saturday. Any
way, it is hoped out of those four men
to be able to get two ends OF first
class caliber
At the tackles Calkins and Antram
will again perform Saturday, but the
guards. like the center and ends, fur
iish another complicated problem.
stevenson, Maher, Grifiths, Smith .
and Denny all show up well in prac- !,
tiee, hut still it seems that in both
games the guards were Ottawa's weak
spots where the enemy punctured at
will and always for good gains.
Pierce, a new man, who showed up
we'll at the beginning of the season,
win report again this week, and his
return is expected to help, as he
showed ability to punt, and might be
made into guard and punter.
Only about twenty men were out
last night. The members of the Sec
oHd squad were given a night off. as
Newberg wanted to spend his time
with the first team, and he did not in
tend to have scrimmage last night, so
the ponies were given an earned rest
Mendoza, next Saturdays opponent
.or the locals, il rated as having one
)f the best teams in its history, al
though Is did lose to La Sale by a
Is to score, but previous to the La
Sale game Mendoza had played two
games, shutting out their opponents
and running UP large scores on them.
Their defeat by La Sale came on an
off day such as any team is liable to
have. But the hackers of the aggre-
cation from the northern part of the
county say they will have no off day
Saturday and will hand the Ottawans a
good trouncing. So it will be neces-
sary to wait until Sunday to see if
Mendota's predictions CT Ottawa
hopes come through.
