There is little reliable dope on the
prospects Of the squads because there
is uncomfortable information on which
to judge the potential varsity men,
but it is likely that Michigan, Chi
cago, Wisconsin and Iowa will land
well up in the race again. Ohio
plans big things to wipe out last
years mess. while Illinois will be
under super-steam in hopes Of justi-
flying the building OF the big new
Urbana stadium.
The Maroons will have q smart,
veteran squad to start with, only
Strothmeier, quarter and end, and
Fletcher, tackle, being lost from tho
regular lineup. Capt. Pyott and
Harry Thomas, haIfbacks, and ALL
American Johnny Thomas, will form
the nucleus Of the backHeld.
Mccarthy, former Hyde Park phe-
nom. promises to become q great
quarterback. Heile, Of last years
squad, q former Oak Parker, also
may be ready for varsity work, al
though Stage favors q heavier man
to do the blocking at quarterback.
King will play his third year at
center while POndelik is expected
to suFpaSS his great record of last
year at guard. Greenbaum, guard,
and GOwdy, tackle, are Of Big Ten
calibre.
Gowdy formerly attended the Uni
VerSity Of Michigan, but got little
attention there. Now he Is one OF
the strongest tackles in the confer
ence. Barnes, the all.conference
basketball player Dickson and
re will be able to hold down the
ends.
At Northwestern the eleven prom
ises to be light. There are no giants
in school and the line average prom
tses to be about $50 and the back
field about 40.
Among the other schools Ohio
promises to gain strength, while
Iowa and Michigan are likely to bG

Jolly Good Lie Is
Dispeled From
Old Story

A new version Of an old story
is told as follows: Jones said to
his opponent, Brown: 'fYou

to my ball it was slowly sinking

Brown.

sent to Worcester by the Boston
Braves, is hitting for 400 in the
Eastern Association. He is sure to

LOSES
FALSE Teeth
IN TAXI
Police Canvas Cab Drivers in
Effort to Locate Miss
Ing MoIars.

Somewhere in Washington in q
taKicab, there il set Of lower false
teeth for which the police and
Gen. j. l.. Chamberlain, of the
inspector generals office, Of the
War Department, are looking. They
belong to the general, according
to a report to detective head
quarters last night.
General Chamberlain stepped into
a taxicab at the Union Station. He
drove to the Army and Navy Club,
stepped out and left the teeth.
The report does not say whether
the teeth were Jared out or
whether they were left In a pack
age.
Hack Inspector Collins is today
asking taxi drivers IL they have q
set of lower false teeth. So far
his answers have been indicative
OF the haughtiness Of cab drivers
In matters that are purely personal.
Until explanations are brought
forth, cab drivers do not see what
business it is of the police If they
do have lower false teeth.
Should the missing molars be
found the general is awaiting them
at the Army and Navy Club.
