 Of Her Greatest Elevens

DANVILLE, Ky, Sept. 20.-(Spe cial. )-Already more than a week Oi the first fall football practice for tht Centre College Colonels has passed ant the Prayin' Colonels will, within tht coming week. be ready for scrimmage'
 Fifteen letter men from last years eleven are back in school and in addi tion Coach Myers, who has succeeded Uncle Charlie Moran as head mentor of the Colonels, has humber of men from last seasons freshman team who have given evidence that they are of varsity calibre.
 Outlook Fine
 Centres outlook for another of her dim although Uncle Charlie is no more of the most dependable halfbacks on the squad. and Spurlock, noted for his kicking and for, his line plunging as a fullback, have withdrawn from school and are not eligible this season.
 To assist in developing his team Coach Moran has former Centre star and considered in the days he played there one of the best ends in the coun. try. He is none other than Red Roberts, twice named on Walter Camps All-American team, once on the first eleven and again on the second team. Red is assisting in the develop ment of the line and is in full charge of the freshman team. Harold Oftsie is the assistant in line coaching and was formerly a member of the Washington University coaching staff, of St. Louis.
 Composed of Vets
 The team which Centre places on the field this season will be composed for the most part of veterans-men who have made their mark, not only on southern fields but on national grid irons as well. Only one place in the line is vacant, that of George Chinn, guard, who has finished his four years at Centre. In the backfield there are two positions that are open but there are men, who last year were members of the squad, to fill them Johnson, one of the star members of last seasons freshman team, whose bunting was counted upon to assist the varsity this season, has been declared ineligible. Covington, last year All Southern quarterback, may be called upon again this season to do the ma jority of the bunting for the Prayin' Colonels as a result.
 Rabenstein, last year unable to play during the greater part of the season, is expected to take regular place in the backfield this season. GOrdy, full back, is sure of his place while Thom- asson and Lemon, last year on the wings of the line, may be called into the backfield for duty. Both of them have had experience in carrying the ball aAd will fit in with the general scheme of things.
 Freshmen Good
 n Other men who may be given a chance to show their ability in the back field are, Wallace, Wilson, Bush, Nor row, German and Geben, most of them members of the freshman eleven of last season. One of them will probably be trained to fill the shoes of Covington as this is his last season in a Centre uniform. Bush is a former captain of the Culver Military academy team and has an excellent chance of being se- lected either for the backfield or for one of the ends.
 Hedges, weighing well over 2OO pounds. q former freshman, is seeking n place in either the backfield or .he line at an end and the work he has been doing in practice he seems to have an excellent chance of making a place for himself among the veteran candi' dates. -
 Schedule
 On the Centre schedule this year are five state universities, Kentucky Ala
