Show WILL DETERMINE T GRIDIRONPROSPEGTS Advanced Work This Week Will Give Norgren Line on Team. Within another week Coach Nelson Norgren expects to got a real line ou the University of Utah ruliron prospects pros-pects for the comin.2 season. Practices have been held over a period of more than a week, and just about all the flayers vrho are expected to return have done so. As yet nothing but preliminary work has marked the practices, and the strength of the team under such circumstances cir-cumstances is simply a matter of conjecture. con-jecture. Norgren believes the quality of the material this year is as good as in past seasons, but it is plain that he fears there is not enough of it. The squad during the week increased to about twenty men, not enough players, by any means. The latest additions to the pquad are Dick Davis, a star prnyer on the freshman eleven several years ago, whom Norgren thinks will become a good line man, and Leo Matthew?, fullback on the freshman eleven last fall. Hope is still out that Emmett Bohan and Charles McGill, two remarkable athletes ath-letes who entered university last midyear, mid-year, will return. The addition of these players would help a whole lot, for Norgren Nor-gren said, yesterday that two or three more men are all that is needed to insure the success of the team. The back field will be unusually fast this fall, but the line may be weak. The whole freshman back field of last year has been added to the regular back field men who remain, and Norgren has been working several of the new men in back field positions with success. Johnny Breathed, last year's freshman fresh-man coach, will be in Salt Lake the latter lat-ter part of the week, according to a letter let-ter received by Norgren, but he will rome merely on a business trip for a Chicago firm. A freshman coach has not vet been selected. The athletic council jrtet yesterday, but no action was taken Sn this matter, only routine business Veing taken up. |
