Following the Tulsa game
Coach PiXlee told his charges he

As o consequence, two new
guards and two new backs,
heretofore regarded as second
stringers, are to get their
chance tomorrow night. Good
performances may mean that
they win start against Iowa q
week later.
Kermit Stewart, Johnny Ian
nan and Boyd Hickman are the
men waging the fight for the
two guard posts. Stewart, who
had been a ,backfield. sub, looms
as a regular running guard. Ian.
nan and Hickman, both scrappy
and full Of spirit. are waging an
even battle for the other post.
In the backfield, Malta and
Hoffman are to get their oppor.

performance against Tulsa and

All of which no doubt will make
it interesting for Col. Jacob Rup-
pert, who is holding the Yankee
baseball fort all alone these days,
with Ed Barrow away on a hunt
ing trip and Joe Mccarthy rusti-
eating in Buffalo.
Chapman went on to say that
he believed he was entitled to a
big increase and that Mccarthy
had promised to back up any de-
mandS he might make-that is, to
a certain extent.
Lauds McCafthy
Ben paid a fine tribute to Nc
Carthy for letting him run and he
handed Lyn Larry a bouquet for
backing him up at the plate. But
the big hand went to Erine Tucker,
baseball coach at Phillips High. in
Birmingham. for teaching Ben the
first principles of base stealing.
Discussing his speed exploits,
Chapman said that he had been
challenged by Jim Levey, Of the
Browns, but that when Mccarthy
insisted that the st. Louis players
put up $1,000 the match fell
through.
