Conference Title

Fargo, N. D., April 10.-Spring foot

half hundred aspiring youths would
be outfitted in Bison livery in an at
tempt to land a berth on the team
which Casey Finnegan and his aides
hope to pilot to second successive
North Central conference champion
ship next fall.
Fnnegan will be assisted by Bob
Lowe, his right-hand man for three
seasons past; Pete Gergen, freshman
coach, and Merlyn Jahr, Viv Mckay
and Joe Selliken, all stars who will
graduate in June.
The objective Of the spring practice
Is to get something like definite
lineup for next fall, working fresh
men stars into positions vacated by
those graduating. There also are q
number of shifts contemplated. and
new assignments planned for certain
players.
Tackles Big Problem
The big problem confronting the
coaches is the development of two
regular tackles and at least two cap
able understudies. Herb Peschel and
Roy Plat handled the tackle assign
ments after the elimination Of Walter
Schoenfelder, captain, who ives unable
to play following an injury in the
South Dakota State game midway
through the 1882 schedule.
Plat is not in school this term.
Neither Is Milton Jacobson, captain
and end. jacobson is considered q
fixture at end, but there Is a POSSIBLE
ity that he may be switched to the
blocking back post vacated by 6elli-
ken.
