 MAKE SENIORS SAD

EVANSTON, IL, Oct. 26.-There's gloom in the Northwestern univer- sity football camp these days, but it's confined to the upper class members of the squad and is not reflected on the genial face of Coach Dick Hanley
 As matter of fact, it appears that the veterans from last years Wildcats, tanned any number of times by opponents, are in grave danger of being relegated to the second string by scrappy bunch of sophomores.
 Even Captain Al Kawal and his veteran colleagues, Whalen and Tangora, at guard positions, are having the battle of their lives to impress Hanley with their superior ity over Carl DeVry and Frank Riley of the sophomore horde.
 A few of Hanley's promising sec ond year men include Park Wray, Jim Kreen, Bill Henderson, Carl DeVry, Frank Riley, Bob Swisher, Bill Mole, Bill Henderson and George Wilson.
 They're all new names in Big Ten football circles now and may be some of them never will be heard of again, but Hanley is will ing to argue the point.
