Hard practice Monday preparing for the Aggies.
Sam Kellogg was lucky freshman- Drew winning number for 4,000 mile jaunt
With every man in the best of condition and a bunch of new plays to get in mind, the football squad last night took up the work for the third week with spirit and something which looked like enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm was necessary for Coach Stewart was continually treading on the heels of the lazy ones. In addition to the usual gang of coaches a new bunch of pep appeared in the person of Sturzenegger, a former "N" man. He played halfback on the varsity of '08 and '09 and was famous for his line-hitting ability. He proceeded to show the backs how to get through the line whether they were on their heads or feet.
The practice consisted in the most part of signal practice and tackling the dummy. A bunch of fine looking plays were gone over and taught to the backfield and then to the line.
The New Lineup
A new lineup that is being used by the coach has caused quite a lot of comment. The return of Roy Cameron has made the following lineup possible:
Gardiner, left end.
Cameron, left tackle.
Wilder, left guard.
Moser, center.
Dale, right guard.
Shaw, right tackle.
Corey, right end.
Otoupalik, left fullback.
Rhodes, right fullback.
Cook-Dobson, left halfback.
Riddell, right halfback.
One can see that the object of this is to get weight in the backfield without losing it at the ends. Corey makes a fine looking end and certainly will not be very soothing to opposing backfield men.
Hard Practice Today
A hard practice is the program for Tuesday in preparation for the long trip to Portland. Two half-hour practices will be had each day on the road and a last workout will be had on the field, where the game will be played, on Friday afternoon.
A squad of twenty-two men will be taken in addition to one freshman. The freshman who is to go is Sam Kellogg, the ex-Nebraska City star.
The choice of freshman was to have been made by Stewart, Rutherford, Halligan and Corey, but they could get no farther than the three best. It was then decided that the choice should be made by drawing numbers.
Men Who Will Go
Manager Reed wrote numbers on his hat. Then amid the deafening silence each one of the three. Schellenberg, Hubka and Kellogg sneaked up and coaxed the lucky number out but Kellogg proved to have the only horse shoe.
The varsity men who will make the trip are as follows: Otoupalik, Corey, E. Kositzky, Moser, Dale, Shaw, Riddell, Cook, Caley, Rhodes, Gardiner, Doyle, Dobson, Wilder, Cameron, Maloney, Norris, Selzer, Porter, Hellen, Hoadley and Proctor.
