The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-09-24

For the past two years Clark has
faced an almost impossible task. The
first year it was the problem to in
still his own system, and last year
he had only eighteen men, good, bad
and Indifferent, for the varsity squad.
Governed by the freshman rule,
Clark was forced to stand back last
year and see the freshman team
romp over his varsity at will. They
were not the only ones who joined
in the romp, for each Saturday
brought an opponent.
Twenty-Five on Squad
This fall the situation looks some
what better, at least in numbers.
There are twenty-five men out for
the varsity team, nine Of whom are
letter men from last year.
Two things hurt the athletic sit
uation at Rose. One is the very hard
academic course, and the other is
the general lack of funds held by
the students. The latter causes them
to be in school every other year, the
"out" year being Used to replenish
funds to return to school
The team is without a captain.
Miller, who was elected and who
was quarterback last year, failed to
make grades and was declared in
eligible. The same fate fell to May
rose, a wonderful halfback; Hall,
giant tackle; Schilt, the big center
and Dorsey and Cadle, letter line
men. Schilt is in Purdue this year
and Hall is at Indiana.
Some Back, Some Not
