Austin, Tex, Aug. 25.-Coach =.
]. (sDoc") Stewart has arrived in
Austin from Clemson College, South
Carolina, and is looking over the sit
uation in preparation for the open
ing of the University of Texas foot
ball training, on September 10.
Being unfamiliar with the material
with which he must rely to bring
honors to Texas on the grid field,
Coach Stewart made little comment
in this respect, but he declared that
it was his fondest hope to take the
somewhat disorganized Texas team
and weld it into a fighting eleven
which will tread the colors of the
South's largest universities in the
dust.
81 would like to develop football
team at the University of Texas
which would defeat Vanderbilt, Tu-
lane and other large elevens, and L
believe / can do it," the coach saic.
Much Of my football work has been
that of turning out winning teams
for universities that have not been
coming up to what is expected OF
them.
Some High. Sounding Words.

of the students here, and it will be
my f,ndest hope to turn them out a
team which will uphold this spirit,
team which is in every way worthy
of the University, and of the student
body. There is no reason why Tex
as should not put a group of mole,
skin warriors on the field that will
triumph over even such teams as
those of the Big Ten conference"
On September 10 training will
open at Austin for the University
football men, and between now and
that time the new coach at Varsity
will be studying the records of the
men and endeavoring to famliarize
himself with their ability in the diff
ferent positions.
Has a Dozen Vets Back.
He will have as the basis of his
team q dozen veterans of the tragic
1922 season, and plentiful supply
of promising material from the fresh
man and shorthorn squads of last
year. Into this aggregation the new
coach will try to instill a fighting
:, spirit which will make the Orange
I and-White invincible on the field.
Coach Stewart held a conference
with Line Coach Charles Seldom of
the University, now in Columbus,
Ohio, on his trip down from New
York. He expressed himself as be-
ing highly pleased with Coach Seldom
and said that he would be able to
work in entire harmony with the
Varsity line coach.
Likes the Prospects.
@Seddon seemed to think that pros
poets for, Texas are not bad" Coach
Stewart said. "He is going into the
game this season with the same en-
thusiasm that / am, and with the
same hope Of Installing that enthusiasm
into the team, which. along with
plenty Of training and instruction.
should produce wonders before the
season is over"
In the lineup of the Texas team
this fall there will be only one man,
Captain Buddy Tynes. who has tasted
the joy Of defeating A. & NJ. College.
Tynes was on the "wonder team" of
1920, which took the strong Farmers
in to the tune of Z to 3. The other
men will go into the field with this
ms their supreme aim. Many of
them will play their last season for
Varsity, and will fight harder than
ever to win for Texas once before
leaving the Orange White. Coach
Stewart should certainly have a group
of willing men to handle.
