With two weeks of practice behlno
them the v. M. I. gridders have only
one more week to get set for the open
ing tilt with Hampden-S1dney.
At present Coaches Raftery and Hess
are using a letter man at every posi-
ton except two. Grow is holding down
the pivot Job, but Chadwick, who made
his letter as a reserve lineman, also is
being groomed for center. Dunn, full
back, last years freshman leader, Is
the other non-letter man Tentatively
placed on the first team. ,.
Barring injuries, Raftery will have
few backfield worries, as Capt. Barnes
Hawkins and McCray of last years team
look bigger and better. Harner, Blggs,
Walker and Holtzclaw probably will re-.
ceive tryout in the vacant backnelo
place. Laughorn is showing up espe--
cially we'll as Hawkins understudy al
