Show PROVO ELEVEN TO SEE ACTION Twitchell's Charges Ready For First Game of Year With Freshmen PROVO. Sept. 27 When the var-' slty and freshman elevens of tho Brig-ham Brig-ham Young university clo-sh in the Initial Ini-tial game of the season Thursday Ogden Og-den will bo represented by two players: play-ers: Hinckley and Wilkinson. Both of these men are playing for the freshmen and are showing up in splendid splen-did style. in the practice scrimmage with tho Provo High team last Friday, Fri-day, the work of WllKmson was especially es-pecially notable as hia signal was used tinio and again for good gains He plays left half back. Hinckley, last year's star on the Weber team, is playing his old pos.1-1 Hon ut center Where his generalship will do much to aid the freshmen in winning their contests this year. Tho game next Thursday is attract-1 ing much comment as it will give tho fans their first opportunlt to see the' new conference infants In t'ctl,,n Al-I though Miller, end. h, still out. the' team is getting un.b-r way in l-o.. , shape. Coach Twltchell Is working his men over time It Is unfortunate! for the new team that It is pitted' against the conference champions so) eurly In the season, and with such a I short time n which to prepare fori the battle. Although the coach did' all In his power to get the men In early to prepare for the contest, his efforts, due to the unusual demand of the crops, were unavailing. Some! of hia men will have had a bare one week practice when he throws them against the champions of Utah and the Intermountaln country'. Coach Twltchell is working under another an-other handicap. He has few men to I use ds substitutes, in case a man is! injured. Owing to their short train-1 Ing and probable poor condition, it Is Quite likely that at least one or two! of the men will be Incapacitated. In that event a hole will bo left In tho Varsity defense. The back field especially, es-pecially, will bo seriously handicapped by Injuries of any kind. The outcome of tho game with tbo! Aggies on October 7. therefore, will' b s poor criterion by which to Judge the "Y" team. The entire season 1 must be played before anything like a fair estimate of the team's worth can be made. 1 1 nr - |
