 Hanover, N. H., Sept. 5. (UP- Five tons of beef on the hoof, spread among 57 Invited" candi- dates, trotted out on Dartmouth's gridiron today to begin tapering down for the most ambitious schedule the Big Green has at- tempted in a decade.
 The Invited" candidates repre- sent eight ends, nine tackles, nine guards, five centers and 26 backs selected at the end of the spring training period by Head Coach Earl H. (Red) Blaik, former West Point gridiron strategist, who is starting his second year at the helm of Dartmouth's new non- graduate system.
 More material will be added to the squad once the college team gets under way. It is largely on these 57 gridiron varieties, how ever, that Blaik-and Dartmouth will stake their chances for a successful season.
 Ten Games Scheduled
 But Blaik has a tough row to hoe.
 The schedule lists 10 games, in- cluding two new major opponents, Brown and Columbia. In addition, there is Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, William and Mary, Bates, Vermont and Norwich. William and Mary also is a newcomer to the Dartmouth schedule.
 Such campaign ordinarily calls for men experienced under fire and an abundance of reserve material.
 Therein lies Blaik's two-fold problem.
 His reserve forces are an un- known quantity. The answer hero apparently lies among a score of players coming up from last years freshman squad.
 Of the 16 lettermen returning, scarcely more than a half dozen are seasoned campaigners.
 Injuries have deprived the team of it's third captain in the past fours years-Don Erion, of Buffalo, N. Y., one of the best tackle pros- poets to enter Dartmouth.
 Old Injury Not Healed
 Erion was counted upon to plug the most vulnerable spot in the line, but when it become evident that an old shoulder injury would become a bench-captain.
 Jack Kenny, of Hartford. Conn.,, a quarterback, was named to suc- ceed Erion, thus becoming the first quarterback captain at Dartmouth since Bob McPhail led the Big Green in 1927.
 One of the best blocking backs on the squad, Tony Geniawicz, of Lynn, Mass, fullback and cham pion weight thrower, also has been lost through injuries. Genia- wicz underwent knee operation three weeks. ago and is out for the season.
 Blaik will build his backfleld around the veterans Kenny, Pop Marine, of Scarsdale, N. Y.; John Handrahan, of Hull, Mass; Eddie Chamberlain, of Lynn, Mass; Joe Kiernan, of Washington. D. C.. and Phil Cont, of Barre, Vt. Ed die Casey, of Natick, Mass, nephew and namesake of the for rf1er Harvard coach, is a promising backfield candidate.
 Wing Men Plentiful
 Two sets of veteran ends. FL bert Camp, of Bay Shore, N. Y., and Jack Matzinger, of Mt. Yer non, N. Y., and Tony Muello, of Cambridge, Mass, and Jack Mer- Till, of South Pasadena, Cal, fur nish strength on the wings.
 The weakest spot in the line is at the tackles, where, besides Erion, another veteran, Vic, Kiar- sis, also has been lost. Kiarsis quit squad to enter medical school. This leaves only two lettermen, Gordon Bennett, of Swampscott, Mass, and Don Otis, of Gloucester, Mass, both of whom have had comparatively limited experience.
 Three lettermen, Joe Handra- han, of Hull, Mass; Hank Bill lings, of Hopedale, Mass, and Latta McCray of Dayton, O., form the nucleus at the guard position.
 Veteran at Center
 Blaik appears best fixed at cen- ter, where he has the veteran Carl Ray, of Pawling, N. Y., considered by many one of the best pivot men ever to enter Dartmouth The re- serve power here is also good, with Frank Young, of Lima, o., the most likely prospect. Blaik and his aides have no ob- jective game for which to point their team. Under the new Dart mouth pilots system, every major game is as important as the next. But Dartmouth undergraduates and alumni would cherish first victory over Yale more than one over Notre Dame-when the South Renders ruled the gridiron firma- | ment.
