Continued From Preceding Pagel
the showing OF the squad. n battle is
in prospect for almost every position.
There are at least four men out Tor
each line BERTH
Several new men are showing up in
fashion that promises their arrival
as regulars in their first year with
Main. according to Clarke.
Wcatherfort, a 220-pound linesinan
from Ennis, has shown that he's not
only weighty but shifty and agrees
sive. He has been leader in brulsing
up Clarke. who has been acting as
tackling dummy awaiting the building
of the regular dummy frame.
"SpitZ" is in such shape he can
hardly open the door at home after
workouts.
The Holleran brothers from Okla
homa are both husky and experienced
and can play any line position from
tackle over tackle. Culli ard Loess-
berg. letter men at st. Mary's last
battle for jobs in the line. kneoel
from last years SQUAD is showing lots
of Improvement and has attracted at
tention among the forwards.
McDougal. the hefty captain of this
years basket ball team. gives worlds
of promise. according to Clarke, who
is working him both in the line and
tn backfeld.
Cox. Iantis. Dunsmorc and Sinner
are among last years veterans who
are battling for defensive jobs. Page
Sinner played backfield last year but
Clarke intends TO make center out
of him this season, along with one of
the Holloran boys.
Ends are plentiful. West. Ketch-
um. Dwyer and Peacock all have the
benefit of last years experience under
Clarke, and number of new men are
trying out.
Clarke had trouble settling on
quarterback last year. This year he
has two crack-a-iack quarters who re-
lieve a problem that has existed since
the days of Johnny Philips. Buddy
.Armer. who did the job acceptaDly
in the latter part Of 1922, is one, and
Kennedy, an experienced addition TO
the sCaad, is the other. Kennedy
weighs 145 pounds. He's not kicker.
but he can pass far and accurately. il
fast and handles himself well. Clarke
admits that he is considering playing
Kennedy at regular quarter and shift
ing Armer, who is Mains crack triple
threat man. to hafback position be-
cause he can carry the ball well. Ar
mer looks as IL he will have his big
gest year. He is fine punter and n
long passer; in fact, has the accom-
pliShments of an all-around star.
Terry Booth is showing up well with
prospects of becoming sub-quar,ei.
Heine Jordt. fullback, is hitting
them harder than ever with ten ex-
ira pounds on his well-knit frame.
Boyd. 16J pounds, and Fraley, Io4.
are experienced backfield| men. Both
are punters. Main is well supplied
with kickers, it seems. Strayhorn,
1G6, is in line for n ball-carrying job,
and Adams, though light. is a likely
locker.
Main opens at Schwab rleld
against Kerrville High on the first
of October, and from then on will play
a game week within the interschol-
astic league district" Seguin will
be here the second week and Victoria,
reported TO have a strong eleven in
prospect, will meet the Crimson on
Schwab Field October II. Main plays
Beevile at the Bee County Fair OH
follow, both out of town. Then comes
the Brackenridge-Main clash, which
probably will decide the district
championship, unless the local high
schools are upset in some early game.
