With the beginning of school close
at hand the high school football can
didates are beginning to get uneasy
about the pigskin and are anxious for
football practice to begin. 1t is posSi-
BILE that some light workouts will pre-
ceed the school opening as Coach
Fuzzy Warren is back on the home
lot and is also anxious to get line on
the material that he is to work with
this year.
He faces the hard situation of de-
veloping an entirely new team as
practically all the veterans of the past
two seasons graduated last May. With
q few letLer1nen to form the nucleus,
Coach Warren will endeavor to build
up a gridiron team that viii fight
every inch of the way toward second
conference championship.
Last wears championship team
started out slowly and looked like a
cellar championship contender, but hit
Gride after taking a severe drub-
bing at Mesa. Thereafter it won all
its remaining games, winning eight
and losing two for the season.
WdIIC1 Will 41dNC O444AVOAA
Cary, Leslie Miller and Bill Franklin,
three lettermen. to form the nucleus
of the pigSkin warriors,
However, "Chinch" Cummins, Bob
HohStadt, both of whom were ineligible
last season, will be excellent bacKfield
material and should prove hard sit
uation for any team.
"PilareS' Williams, 200-pound CEN
ter, should be good enough as a passer
this year and has weight enough to
hold his position in the middle of the
line, where it is most apt to crumble.
On either side of center Lee Boden-
hammer and Albert Thrasher will form
a strong guarding combination. Clin-
ton Cary and Lannes MCGEE are con-
sidered the best material for tackles
Both of these players are rough and
ready and like to mix it on every play
They have played on the line before
and know something of what goes on
at these strategic points. 1t is said
no team is stronger than its tackles.
These should prove strong enough.
Franklin, Powers, Sanders and Houck
are in line for wing positions. Sand
k,rs and Powers are favored for theSed
positions and both played last year on
the second string and showed promise.
In the backfield, Warren is worried
over his substitutes, but have first
string that will worry any defense.
HohStadt, Bouldin, Cummins and
Miller are all reliable and have had
some experience carrying the ball.
Coach Warren will need additional
men in case of injury to any of the
regular backs, so new material will be
groomed for backfield berths.
The first meeting of football candi-
dates will be held tomorrow night at
Z o'clock in front of the high school
building. This meeting is called for
the purpose of outlining the plans for
training. Every football candidate
should attend and others are also re-
quested to be present. Alumni are in
vited to be present to talk over the
football days of 'long ago." Coach
warren will outline the seasons work
and give the active candidates the
training rules, and a schedule of light
workouts. It is possible that few
practices will be called for next week
is enough boys are interested.
The football schedule this year is
heavy and the team will need to be in
good condition all season as there is
only one vacant date beginning Octo-
ber first and closing with the annual
Turkey day game with BiSbee.
