test For Team Positions

Fargo. N. D.. Sept. 7-(AP)-Pros-
poets for a successful gridirOn year
mt the North Dakota State Agricul-
tural College here depend largely on

followers Of the pigskin sport here.
Fourteen Of last years freshman
squad arc expected to contest for
varsity honors with the eight vet
Gran players who also are expected
TO answer Coach Ion J. Cortright's
call to action. Among the veterans
arc Captain Miller, who will boss the
team from halfback position; Knee
shaw, Marks and Wall. tackles. Grey,
guard, Mack, a backficld man and
Ncwgard and Tilton, ends.
Added to this aggregation will be
the freshmen and last years scrubs
who are still eligible. Among these
are Walter Clascn, Bottincau. who is
expected to win "a regular bert" at
halfback. Two other reserves from
whom much was expected this year,
will be out of the game, however.
They arc Ben Gordcr, Bottincau, who
will not be permitted to play foot
ball AS the result Of heart disease
It's. and Walter Davidson, Valley
City, who injured knee so severely
in spring football practice that he
will not be allowed to come out this

Because the team will, on the
whole, be !. somewhat green, Coach
Cortright does not expect too much
from II this season and it is hardly
possible that the Bison will duplicate
their last years record. Another
factor ID tho hard schedule which the
Bison will face. With eight hard
games in prospect one or more dc.
