Bloomington, Sept. 2<L—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Opening of football practice finds Indiana University anything but optimistic as to this year's outcome. Eight men of last year’s regular squad have been lost. "We're up against a pretty stiff proposition," Coach E. L. Sttehm told the United Press. "Cravens, Faust and Mathys, last year quarterbacks, have graduated. Pierce, 200-pound center, has also finished school, and Jess Lohrei, veteran of two seasons at center, has been declared ineligible on account of scolastic standing. Mundy, conference wretetlitag champion who played guard, Captain Risley and halfback Minton have graduated." Wilkins of Fort Wayne, last year’s freshman quarter, and Brunett, who has never been out for varsity before, are training for quarterbacks. Regular practice began on the 15th, which leaves only two weeks before the game with Harvard at Cambridge October 8. Minnesota, Notre Dame, lowa and Purdue are later opponents. Coach Stiehm has accepted conditionally an invitation for a post-sea-son game with Florida at the Miami Palm Fete in December. "Whether we go down there or not depends on how well the team shows up,” Stiehm said. "In spite of draw backs, I believe we will finish very creditably.” Indiana will use the new flying shift.
