Hidden Ball Trick BATTLES
Laterals Also Make Enemy Spin in Amusement.
BY TOM DOERER-

smart little field general who can also
snake dance down the Sodded boule-
ward. Then there Is Joe Kiegan,
Soph, who plays like vet, who can
have the leather into a Pullman por-
ter's outstretched hand. With him in
the act is Ernie Viau, a temperamental
fullback who can shaw all of the emo
tons of a prirna donna, but still step
through a line to resemble the Broad
way Limited in a hurry. j. Carr Is 3
kicker and carrier.
Mitchell Is proud Of his backfleld and
he Is kidding no one. 1t Is q pip. 1t
does not tip the scales with the Levia-
than. But who would want a high
school secondary to resemble the front
line Of a burlesque chorus? In Viau
he has a back whom you will hear from
in college. He Is a gangling boy with
yards OF speed. He gets away on bal
ance, but he will overcome the fault
to stand out at Gonzaga next year
Carr IS great kid kicker and Kiegan
hits the line powerfully.
this outfit In the backfield, Mitchell
tells me that most of his good players
are back In school wrestling Greek and
Latin. Yes, they are tough on them
at Gonzaga when foot ball 41terfereS
with studies.
But no matter who was back there
snozzling their Homer and Virgil they
surely could not improve on the back
field mentioned, unless Mitchell has
another team playing Harvard and Yale.
The Purple and White line Of hod
carriers Is not heavy It will hit around
155 pounds. But Is knotty, despite its
lack of beef.
1t has plenty Of leg power and that
comes from pushing around MitchelPs
automobile. Just that, gentlemen. Five
boys push the roadster, brake half
damned, and then i've more shove IL
back. And II you do not think that Is
not splendid way to build up = pair
Of legs, try IL.
Mr.. mitchell leaves the idea open
for producers of musical comedies,
molders OF revues and other foot ball
teams who need the exercise.
However. Ed Qu1gley. Hippo" to the
gang. weighs 200 pounds of tackle to
make his side of the line seem as If
it is part of the campus. On the other
side Is Irwin Eppard. another last years
man, packing less weight but just as
much punch as his mate.

David James and George Lewis, two
last year men are the regular guards,
and the center post is being taken care

regular and the berth has been the only
one upon which Mitchell has had to
experiment this year. Bin plays tackle

Although there II no room TO kick this

season because Il win lose but few play

tickle young Mr.. Mitchell. IL does.
