Show BOULDER ELEVEN IS DBiI lOlD WORK Six Letter Men Back on Squad; Also Many New Men. BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 23. With the second week of school in progress, and the University of Colorado football squad recruited to nearly war strength, preliminaries have been dropped by M. C. Evans, the new coach, and each aft- ernoon sees thirty huskies going through a real sweat -producing workout. The squad shows a decrease in numbers num-bers over last year. At this time of the season in past years more than fifty men have been in suits. Of tho letter men of last fall, six are now numbered among the squad. They are Halfback Kemp, Linesmen Adams, Randall, Grieg and Heuman, and End Wilbur Adams. The Adams brothers were the only ones to play regularly. , As in past years the line presents the greatest problem ' to the coach. Backs and ends of some experience are coming com-ing to light each day, but tho supply of linemen has proven meager. An examination of the personnel of the squad shows a wealth of untried material. ma-terial. Among those trying out for the back field are Rapp, Nims and Leslie Eastman, last year 's freshmen. All showed good as'yearlings. Kemp was in several of the contests last fall, being be-ing kept out the rest of the time by a bad knee. He is showing better form than ever before. Costcllo played on the freshman team two years ago, remaining out of the game last fall. He is a product of the Denver High school. He is a dash man on the track and typifies all that Evans's Ev-ans's ideas of a good football player imply. Duplicating Costello 's natural qualifications quali-fications is Ted Chisholm. As a member mem-ber of Sacred Heart college (Denver) eleven before coming here he was a consistent con-sistent performer. While he has had no experience on a team of conference rank he possesses that clean build and great speed after which coaches seek. Wiley Lawrence comes to the squad with a good high school record, but no college service. Eckel is a brother of Clarence Eckel, for three years preceding preced-ing 1915 center on Folsom 's elevens. He has had only high school experience. Wilbur Adams, last year an end, is trying out for the backfield. but mav be shifted back to his old position. He is heavier than his competitors and is fast. On the secondary defense Kemp. Rapp and Lawrence are showing good form in trim ting. Evans states that while ho does not expect a second Pete i Xelson he is assured of a consistent kicker by the performances to date. In the'line Victor Adams, Grieg, Randall, Ran-dall, JS'euniau and Tub Eastman comprise the remnants of last year's squad men. Ball and Scheidegger come from the freshmen. Patton, Sandhouse and Platts are others working out regularly. Eastman East-man and Randall are at present being used at center. The others are being shifted from guard to tackle by Evans in order that he may get a line on their ability. Reed, Eddy, Edwards and Sylvester are being worked at ends. Reed was an nil-state man among the high school teams three years ago. He handles inx-r ward passes well and is fast. Edwards and Sylvester come up with the 1915 freshmen. Eddy was a member of tho squad last year. |
