would cause most coaches to wall.
but Mueller is different than most
coaches. He does what he thinks
coaches are paid TO do-develop new
stars.
CHANGING yer some Of the pos
sfbIe men for the team this year.
YOU soon viii reach the conclusion
that Tech Will have beef on the
field. not the kind that waddles down
the gridiron, but the kind that IS
powerful.
The line material stacks up like
this: Wilson, $50; McCaIp, 175;
Barnes, 179; Martin, 176; Mitchell,
208; wehrel. us; Bauermeister, 1870;
Ringwalt, IT'S; Hagaman, 10, and
Hicks and Hawkins. All these men
are hard hitters and tackle in fairly
good early season form.
Gift will take care of n Of the
wing positions and his tackling =
the same deadly variety as Of past
seasons. The other wing position
will develop a battle among John
son. 155; Jordon. 1875; Kirgis. 1875;
Kauser, $50, and Fultz, 167. John
son seems t o have the most expe-
rience, but at least three Of the
MOTHERS will give him opposition.
The center position is giving Muei-

Of Hank Gordon left a real hole
Special coaching may make he

the first team, but it is thought
Mueller eventually will make a
pfyot man out of some of his giant
line material. Clark appears as
though he might make a wing man.
Needs Backs
Probably the real worry confront

of welding together q back field.

about the most likely looking candi-

This handicaps a teams chances.
He weighs 155 and is fast. Jackson

Leet, REESE and a young fellow from
Culver named Fletcher are all sure
they will be the outstanding player

At any rate there is no Rush in the

Out-Of-State Games
Mueller is optimistic and insists
the two games with teams out of

squad. Steele of Dayton, Ohio. and
