Tai Stafford, graduate manager of,

is what he says
With the return of Is letter men We
should be represented by a team fully
as strong as that which swept through
our season in 1927. We were not tied
and not defeated IN any Conference
game, and we won our big game with
North Carolina by 19 to 0. I expect to
see our team uncover a hard-running,
powerful attack built mainly around
Warren, who regard as one of the best
backs in the South. He is brilliant
defensive player, and not only is hard
driving back through the line, but has
sufficient speed and versatility to run
the ends. He also is good kicker and
pasSer and leads interference in way
that almost gives other backs ground.
Warren, to my way of thinking, is |
about the handiest back who has worn |
our colors in many moons. Against |
South Carolina and Michigan State in |
the last two games of the season he
almost ran wild. Crlm, Adams and

to be hurt. He was carried from the

a successor to the famed Claude Grigs-

player left to handle the ball-snapping
job, as zimoWski has an injured elbow

BY ROBERT c. ZUPPKE,
Foot Ball Coach, University of Illinois.

IN RESPECTS are never so poor
as when you have veteran
team" says the old adage.
4 This may be an cXagger-
alton. but it contains consid-
cradle truth. All coaches have learned
that to their sorrow.
But the dopesters will always favor
the teams which made the best show
ings the previous season and have a
large nucleus of veterans.
The chances of the green" teams
are discounted, yet they. are likely to
be dangerous. A new team has some
thing a seasoned squad often lacks-I
might call 1t an elixar of life-and Is
likely to kick out in all directions and
surprise everybody. including itself.
The veteran team has won its spurs
and is sophisticated Its players are
prone to think they have learned all
there is to know about the game. The
team with a fine record the previous
season carries heavy burden-news-
paper praise-which makes the players
conceited. There are other factors
harmony in squads, schedules, and the
way foot ball bounces at critical
point In the deciding game!
Hurts to Be Favorite.
The frail basis for preseason predic-
tons was shown last year. when hardly
a writer gave Illinois chance because
we were largely a new team and were
not at the top in 1926. This placed us
in an advantageous position, and Won
derful spirits. harmony and that elixir
of life carried the squad to the cham
pionShip.
Now I read that Illinois has the best
in the Big Ten, SO I know We
will have to carry heavy load.
Minnesota, Illinois. Notre Dame, Ne
braska and Missouri with some reason,
viii be played up as the Middle Western
teams with the best outlooks, but don't
count the green elevens out Of it.
Minnesota probably will be as strong
in the line as last season, but doubt
if the backfield will have as much
punch. For Posting, Almquist and Ny
dahl, high-class players whose reputa-
lions we're based on real accomplish
ments, have passed. 1t is improbable
that they can be replaced.
The Gophers lost 10 regulars in all
from their strong 1927 team, but 125
players reported for Spring practice,
and the Fall turnout has been fine This
is an ominous portent to the teams
Minnesota meets. Eight letter men, Capt.

Squads Appear Best at Illinois, Notre
Dame, Minnesota, Nebraska and Missouri

Illinois has lost Is lettermen, but
ack, Burdick. Gordon, Crane, Mcclure
and Wietz linemen; Deimling, Wolgast
and Jolley, ends: Stuessy, quarterback;
Timm, Mills, Walker and Humbert,
backs. and perhaps Richman, center.
Frosty Peters, dropkicker in 1925, will
return.
We will have plenty of work with
the line and must develop more ends.
I am sorry Garland Grange will not
return. He played some good foot ball
last season, his first. Timm will be
perhaps the best all-around back in the
conference, and we should have good
backfield. Although we have no sopho-
more ''phenoms." we hope to find COM
petent reserve backs.
Michigan has a green team. but l for
one will not make the mistake of un-
derestimating the Michiganders' po-
tential strength any year. They have
lost II lettermen. including Oosterbaan
2 truly great athlete, whose passing will
not cause any sadness in the other
camps. Their roster includes only Z
lcttermen. Capt. Rich is the only VOL
VERNE who has had more than one
years experience. Truskowski was a
regular center. but not all the rest
were first-string men.
Iowa Has Veterans.
Iowa has a veteran team, which
expect to be the strongest the Hawk
eyes have had in several years. Coach
Ingwersen has lost only six lettermen
including Nelson, his star tackle. Eight
of the seventeen varsity men returning
are playing their third season. There
are several likely sophmores, notably
Mayes McLain, fullback, 210 pounds
and fast, who scored 253 points In 13
games in 1926 for Haskell Institute
and should give the Hawks some
punch.
Ohio State appears to be on the
border line between a veteran and a
green team, having lost nine varsity
players and getting eight back. while
the status of Eby, halfback, is in doubt
The situation is complicated by the

Gibson, Nagurski, Kakela and Johnson
linemen; Tanner and Haycraft, ends;
and Barnhart and Pharmer, backs, all
played regularly last season. Hovde,
another back and letter man, is again
on the job. too.
Will Be Overrated.
Illinois is certain to he overrated, but
should have a good team. But every
body will be pointed for the champions.
I have warned the squad that gold foot
balls one season do not assure cham
pionships the next, but I'll have to bat
tie a tendency to be self-satisfied.
The leadership and fighting spirit of
Capt. ReitSch, Muegge, Schultz and
others who are gone had much to do
with our success last year. and it re-
mains to be seen If their torch has
been handed on.

have for the backfield and all are ca

Actually we will start the season
with five experienced backs. three let
ter men for ends, two experienced
tackles, a pair of letter guards and a
center as good as any pivot man in the
South. That is prospect much better
than we usually have and unquestion-
ably and for apparently good reason we
feel decidedly optimistic over our out
look for the coming season.
