ARMY GRID OUTLOOK

WEST POINT, n. Y. September %
The Army team began it's fourth
week of practice with the consensus
of opinion of Head Coach McE;wan
and his aides that the prospects are
much brighter than appeared at the
start.
This applies not so much to the
finding of capable substitutes as to
the fact that the first string men are
In excellent physical shape.
McEwan believes that one more
week Of scrimmage will bring the
team to where ii should he for the
opening game. This is a big point. be-
cause the first two games with De-
troit and Knox will not be easy. They

Whatever good may have come
from the old system, is is evident
that the team play could not reach
the same precision where changes
were being made constantly. This is
evidently Owsley's idea, and tenta-
tive varsity was selected almost at
once. OF course, changes may be
made at any time if it is found that
the team will be strengthened by ii.
BackfieId Selections.
The first backfield string Is formed
by Hamilton, quarter; Flippin and
Banks, halves, and Shapley, fu1lback.
This backfeld has three punters. as
many passers, and much ground gain
ing ability. Hamilton, who is the
field general. has displayed great
GOODNESS and foot ball knowledge. He
also is doing the best putting of any
member of the squad.
Shapley and Flippin are thoroughly
tested as running backs. each having
had three years on the squad and
considerable foot ball experience be-
fore coming to the academy Both
are big fellows. weighing 100 and $50
pounds. respectively. but very fast.
Banks is a solid lad of leo pounds
and did good work toward the close
of last season
ne BACKS, IN addition to the pres
ent first selection, who look particular
ly good, are Albertson, Condra. Cald-
well. Goudge, flanagan and Broad
bent. All but Broadbent are backs of
medium weight and very fast. Broad
bent. big fellow, played fullback on
the plebe eleven last year and did
some fine line smashing. He also
punts we'll. There is, in fact. enough
promising backfield material on the
squad this season to easily form three
or four complete sets of backs OF
strength.
Line Is Powerful.
The line is tremendously powerful
from tackle to tackle. and the
coaches are working hars on the task
of developing ends capable of taking
the places of W. Taylor and Caldwell,
both of whom have graduated. This
Is. in fact, the most serious Job Just
now being undertaken
Bernet, who has been getting in
most of the games for the past two
seasons, and Williamson, also a
varsity substitute last year, are in
favor just now. Other likely can.
