Coach 'PotSy' Clark Has
Plenty of Fine Material
on Hand.
LINE SHOWS UP WELL
Veterans Face Hard Fight
to Hold Jobs.
BY DICK MILLER

No doubt one of the most popular
topics being discussed by football
fans in Indiana at this early date
concerns the outlook at Butler Uni
versity. Looking over the squad of
forty. who report daily to Head
Coach "Potsy" Clark and his staff
Of assistants at Fairview itself
answers the question. Small in
number, but better in quality.
Buffers start in the fall campaign
seems to have been disastrous. A
couple Of chuck holes in an I'M
leveled practice field sent John
Cavosie, the Ironwood CNIich.) star
half back and Buffers hope for a
drawing card of the Grange, Gipp,
Friedman variety for the 1923
season, to the hospital. 1t is doubt
full if he will be in suit for ten
days. Hardly had the Butler am
bulance crew reached the hospital
with Cavosie until Hutchins, a very
likely half back, stumbled on the
uneven ground and twisted an
ankle.
Six lettermen from last years
team have failed to show up. Butler
entertainS little hopes for any of
them reporting at later date. They
are Hosier, full back; Meeker, quar-
ter back; Bauermeister, center;
~Glunt, guard; Anderegg, tackle, and
Frank Heddon, guard. Meeker
and Hosier certainly would help
strengthen the varsity eleven If they
appear.
Thirteen veterans from the 1927
squad are in suits. That alone pre-
sents strong nucleus for Coach
Clark to work with.
Twenty-Five of the very best
freshmen last fall also are drilling
daily. That doesn't come under
the heading, poor material" Why
the Bulldogs should not win five and
possibly six of their games is some
thing Coach Clark won't argue
about. The answer to the fans
query on the Butler situation can
be answered with the statement the
outlook is splendid.
Watford is the best Of the ends. A lot
OF reasons why Geisert will not be the
other regular end probably would be the
husky Nancy. former Cathedral wingman;
Mackey. a splendid pass snagger from IRON
wood, Mich: Paul, a fast, little fellow
and letterman. and johnson, Sibbitt.
Crosby and Davies.
Haggard. veteran letterman. seems to
have one tackle berth cinched. but battle
looms for the other tackle, and much of
IL between local lads. Kilgore, a veteran
Naftzger, Walsh, Shoaf and Strahl are a
splendid group.
Just now the two big boys, Bugg and
Worth, both lettermen, are intrenched in
the guard position. McCarty, a big husky
from CrawfOrdsville, looks next best. Be
bout, Waddell, Nicley and Deinhart are
other promising guard possibilities.
Clark, a former Tech boy, seems TO
have the drop on" the center Job. Puett

RACCOONS EASILY
RAISED IN CAPTIVITY

The demand for live raccOons for
both fur-farming and restocking
purposes has encouraged a great
many persons to raise these animals
in captivity. Raccoons, according to
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
behave well in captivity, and conse-
quently are easily handled. If the cli-
mate is suitable, Well-drained su-
burban or farm property with a
generous supply of fresh drinking
water is a good site on which to
raise raccoOns. Plenty of shade and
some sunlight are essential to the
health of the animals.
AS raccOOns are great climbers,
trees are sometimes permitted to
stand in their pens to furnish them
means of exercise, but such trees
must be far enough away from the
side walls to prevent the raccoons
from climbing over and escaping. In
many cases when there are no trees
it is found advisable to cover the
sides and top of the pen completely
with stout wOven-wire netting or to
make a 2-foot overhang of galvaniz-
ed iron around the top of the side
walls. In addition the raccoon far
mer must provide dens with remov-
able nest boxes, such as those in
common use for foxes.
RaccOOns are easy to feed, be-
cause they relish and thrive on a va
riety of foods-dried bread mixed
with milk, cereal mushes, cooked
meats and meat scraps, and sweet
fruits. They require more food than
do foxes. Plenty of drinking water
should be provided.
As a rule only the raccoons pos
sessing the darkest pelts are select
ed for breeding stock.
