Coach Eddie Schwarr, be-
ginning his second season at
the South side school. frankly
l. pointing his squad nj the
Bengals and. no less bluntls,
Coach Eddie thinks his Abes
just the boys who can give
the Tigers a slSinning.
This general attitude of opti-
mLsm displayed by Coach Sehwarx
Is hard to understand. II is also
worth considering. Either he Is
bluffing or he knows something.
OPTIMISTIC
And in either case, Mentor Ed
ward has already established a
new worlds record for optimism
among coaches, being one of the
first members Of his profession
who could not be correctly de-
scribed as dour or sour or both.
Such an attitude in coach is
no less surprising than it is headily
invigorating and If there is a spark
of decency left in Lady Luck such
optimism vii be rewarded.
Thus far the Lady who il
known as Lack hasn't done
right by Eddie. Ted Iufer,
Dave Stokesberry and Howard
Pyfer, important cogs In the
Lincoln machine, all have SUI
fered injuries during the past
few days that VIII keep them
out of the lineup tonight.
Coach Johnny Heinrick's lads,
on the other hand, are in tip-top
shape, not a Tiger nursing SO
much as a serious bruise.
Although the greater part of
play will likely center around
strong running attacks, both the
Abes and Tigers have potent aerial
offensiyes that will be used fire.
quently. The Lynx in particular
are expected TO fill the air with
passes as it was by this route that
Lincoln almost took the Bengals
into camp last Thanksgiving Day.
The Lincoln line, not too
heavy, will average about IT'S
pounds man. II viii con-
tain hut two lettermen-John
Clark, center, and Jack God
frey, an end last year, who has
been shifted to the left guard
slot.
The others are more or less I'M
knowns, but Coach Schwarz has
confidence in them. In Logan
Blades. a track and basketball
star, the Abes' have an end who
can really pick 'em up and lay 'em
down
EXPERIENCED
The entire Abe backfield Is ex-
perienced and good. Louie Mar
chesini, who has been named cap
tain for tonight's game, will call
the plays and share the passing as
signment with Reuben Nelson,
fulback. Halfbacks
are Tony Usich and Lloyd Chris
Jensen.
The Tigers probably will weigh
slightly more than the Abes.
Coach Heinricks lineup is
sprinkled with veterans, although
he has been forced TO shift some
Of them to new positions. Fred
Angus, rangy boy, has been
changed from tackle to an end
and Roy Murphy from an end to
fullback.
At quarterback, Stadium
will have the dependable IVES
Hudson, who will do a lot of
blocking. handle the kicking
and serve as co-captain for the
Blue and Gold forces. With
him in the backfield viii be
flashy Marion klarich at left
half, Jack Wilson, a newcomer,
at right half, and Murphy at
full.
Key men in the line is Rod
iiske, co-captain, who is stationed
t right guard. Great things are
