 Although the Panther mentors realize the strength of the card. there is little danger of their over-working the candidates this woek, for with such real summertime weather still in progress. fear of staieness iS to be avoided
 Strong Baekfic1d
 The Hilltop baokneld this fall should be the stronghold of the eleven, but it is the loss of linemen that Is causing consternation in the mountain lair.
 Such stars aa Ma Green and Hoss Candy cannot be replaced in q sin gle year, and if the Sunshine Siopers lose both of these men, the line will have 10 be greatly remodeled.

Kid Scott. of Jasper. who made such an impressive showing ias. raIi.

 At the pivot. things look rosy Bo basley, for two years an understudy Of shorty Propst, is coming back for year or postgraduate work, and Howard Yielding, center, last year. ia also reported re-entering for inc came reason. Jack Stuart, sub-center. last iail Is to be counted on for a fight in the center rush and with three such men all out for one position. 1t LOOKS like scramble.
