V Langford Hohan Is a big big- fellow fe weighing about standing about six feet tall He Is a 5 wild looking chap when he gets his hili hair hall mussed messed and andI I If It looks count for anything he will surely clear a a. path when he starts down the att tt ada field with It the e oval toward an o opponents opponent's e goal McGill Is III another tall man and weighs close to pounds He lie formerly att attended the All Hallows college and Is rat rated d as one of the best the school has turned out He Is IB also a I first st class baseball player and works best beat on the slab Langford Is short and stubby Ho lie played freshmen football last year at the university and Is trying out for foran foran an all end position Bohan Hohan Is being used at fullback while McGill Is being worked at I tackle During th the week Coach Norgren used a great variety of combinations In the tIle backfield and on the line Pat King seems to be his choice again this year ear for center while Lloyd Taylor is passing the ball g good od and will probably be used along with King Maurice Roache and Lew lerrIck Kerrick ar are the like likely guards who will be used but McGill may be called upon to fill one of these positions later hater Dog Douglass and Harold Goodwin are I being used in the tackle holes and a change Is not likely to be made Coach Norgren Norgren- has been giving Douglass a taste of kicking the ball bail of late and it looks as If It he will be given the responsibility of doing all goal kicking this fall He Is also been performing brIning the kickoff duty and has made mad a 11 good showing up to date Goodwin was one of ot the biggest men on the freshmen eleven last year and has hasan hasan an ideal build for tor a line man lIe He Is also I heavy weighing e about pounds n which tt I vriel IP will help out a great deal on the e light team Capt Happy Van Pelt and Homer Warner Varner are on the ends Little need be said about the former because of his performance lat latt year at at atthe the wing position Warner Varner played on the freshmen freshment t university team r last i year was v a and n member e before e O of entering nh the ln Ogden gJ the high school aggregation gatlon The quarter position is very doubtful Both Wilson and Porter have havo worked hard on handling the ball and is uncertain which man will willbe willbe I be used The backfield is exceptionally fast this year and the man who takes take II the pivot Job will have to ramble to keep up Lowell Romney and Howard Kay are both fast tast men Either can clip off orf the yard dash near the ten second mark and andin in track last year ear they held down jobs lobs on the university relay team and ran the dashes Romney played quarter for Cor the Crimson eleven last fall tall but has been to half He made many yards for his team on his long end runs and was also a great geat help with wih his shoe He lie has been doing a I Igat great gat deal of drop kicking of late and by the time the first game comes around he will wi no doubt be beable beable beable able to judge his hla toe to work with accuracy Kay Is a sure side partner e for Romney and l will lla look loOke well Wel In the backfield a with n him He lie was halfback halback and captain of fi the freshmen eleven at the U 13 last falland falland fall falland and was rated as a hard line plunger For fullback Al AI seems to be the pick although the coach has been using Bohan Bohian a I great grEat deal deal however Is faster on his hll feet than the big blonde and will wl probably land the job because of this He le has not the weight of Bohan but his speed Is said to be able able to offset that The second squad has lIas been lining up as 1 follO follows Ha Hayward ard and Langford ends Benson and McGill tackles Taylor center Whitney quarter Bohan fullback fullback full full- back and Matthews and ad Ferguson halves The latter Is also being used on the first squad as half He Is the heaviest man fi
