Bronko will be a tackle. Vacancies in Line Dr Spears has 19 of last year's regulars' with which to start the 1929 Gopher machine but only eight of these burlies are linemen. The one fcpartmnet in which the front wall wl |] be weak and green at the offset is at tackle. Emlein is the only seasoned tackle on the squad, excepting Nagurski, and unless the sophomore crop produces an unexpected supply of linemen Bronko is destined to return to the front trenches. In addition to these two regular lettermen back for line duty are Tanner and Oster, ends; Pulkrabek, Oja. Apmann. guards; Kakela and Liyod Johnson, centers. Seasoned backfield material is on the other hand, abundant. Lettermen in the ball-carrying department are Burdick. Barnhart, Brockmeyer, Phar mer. Brownell, Timm, Kirk and Bardwell. Pharmer. a dependable kicker, passer and plunger, most likely will be elected regular fullback and may have as an understudy “Big Munn,” a soph omore who has shown an adaptability and eagerness for rough going. Brokmeyer and Brownell, both kickers, throwers and fleet of foot may call most of the signals. The Three “K’s” . A half dozen of the 1928 yearling squad stuck out so prominently in spring practice that the astute followers of the game predicted they either would oust some of the regulars or would at least do much "double work.” I Three are linemen who will make it tough at least for the radio announcers — Kerezowski, Koski and Kroll—and two are backs roughly grouped in Munn's class. Leksell and Hass. it will take a lot of hard rough work before these youngsters take on the polish exhibited by the six veterans who were lost this spring by graduation. Three of the graduates — Fred Hovde, quarter; Kenneth Haycraft, end, and George Gibson, guard —were chosen in the majority of AllWestern mythical teams last fall and Haycraft was placed on Grantland Rice’s All-American. The other graduates were Duke Johnson, tackle, Clayton Gay, end, and Ed Ukelberg, tackle. The Gophers will put in three weeks of practice before the Coe game, on

BOILERMAKERS FACE STIFFEST GRID SCHEDULE And “Stagg Fears Purdue” With Reason This Season Lafayette, Ind., Sept. 14 —(UP)— Eleven veterans are expected to be available when Coach “Jimmie" Phelan calls his Purdue university football team into practice sessions. Although 15 lettermen were lost from last year's eleven through graduation, a wealth of reserve and freshmen material is expected to report for practice. Among the outstanding stars scheduled to return is “Pest” Welch, perhaps the greatest halfhack in the conference last season. The stalwart Texan a recent bridgroom, has been at the university attending summer school to iron out scholastic difficulties. Besides Welch the following lettermen are slated to return: Caraway; Chasey, Swartz and Harmeson, backs; Sleight and Van Bibber, tackles and Woermer and Mackie, ends. Most of the members lost from last season's eleven were linemen and it is in that department that Phelan will have to bend his efforts. Sophomores on Job Sophomores who are expected to provide first rate competition for the veterans include, Brugman, Indianapolis. end; E. Warren, Detroit, tackle; Sam Voinoff. Sullivan: guard; R. A. Chubb, Michigan City, center; Ed" Risk Terre Haute, halfback; D. McDaniel, Terre Haute, fullback and W. A. Foulton. Gary and J. A. White. Louisville, quarterbacks. The Boilermakers have one of the stiffest schedules in their history. Bo McMillin's, Kansas Aggies, will pry off the gridiron lid here October 5. Next the Gold and Black will meet Michigan, always a strong contender for Big Ten laurels on the local field. The meeting of Purdue and Michigan .will be their first since 1900. Possibly the greatest game on the Boilermaker schedule will be their annual tussel with Indiana for possession of the-“Old Oaken Bucket. The schedule: October s—Kansas Aggies at Lafayette. Oct. 12 —Michigan at Lafayette. Oct. 26 —Chicago at Chicago. Nov. 2 —Wisconsin at Madison. Nov. 7 —Mississippi at Lafayette. Nov. 16—Iowa at Lafayette (homecoming). Nov. 23—Indiana at Bloomington.

GEORGETOWN TO DISPLAY UNIQUE FOOTBALL SHIFT “Scrambled Ekk” Formation 1 Designed To Trick Grid Foes By William W Chance, Jr. (United Preen Staff Correspondent) Washington, Sept. 13 —(UP)— Georgia Tecli has its Heisman shift, Penn Its hidden trail trick, and N. Y. U. its famous Prussian march —but Lou Little, Georgiatown's brainy, little, football mentor, believes his "scramble egg" formation will eclipse them all. Coach Little returned the other day from the Blue and Qrey's Ocean City N. J. training camp with his squad, bubbling over with enthuskism and energy loudly proclaiming Ixiu’s latest piece of strategy The play, to be used solely on the offense, somewhat resembles a dynamited rock being reconstructed by a moving picture careina in reverse. Two groups are formed, the player crouching facing each other in straight lines. Upon calling of the proper signal eagh man starts wandering about the field, which to both opponents and spectators appears aimless, hut every one of them knows what he is doing and why. The object is to become so mixed up that It is impossible for the opposing team to figure out who is who and where. Suddenly oilt of tty* conglomera, tion each man jumps to the position he occupied before the hall was snapped. Then the play, as called by the quarter-back in the huddle, is executed. Because it can be manuevered in so many different ways, Little Is confident Georgetown's opponents never will desipher the play. No matter how often the oposing team may shift its defense it never will be certain whether the move was right. Another reason for Little’s and the team's enthusiasm is that only four regulars were lost from last year's varsity through graduation—the bane of the college coach's existence. Although none is certain of his position, with the possible exception of Captain Jim Mooney, hardhitting tackle and crack punter, a tentative line-up shows: Ken Provincial, end; Mooney and Paul Liston, tackles; Sam Cordovan) guard; Harold Wynkoop, center; John Hudak, halfback; and Steve Barabas, fullback, all 1928 first-stringers, and Bob Gehringer, end; Charlie Walsh, guard; Joe Gardner, quarterback and Ben Schmidt, half back, 1928 reservists. O — Linemen The great amount of work that the line does in a football game should not be overlooked by the spectator. The lineman's work is not spectacular to see, but it is extremely essential for every play. Rooting and blocking cannot always be seen in close line play. It is, however one of the main objects of the offensive to get the opponents off their feet. This is done by rooting and block ing. The linemen, when on the offense cannot u-se their hands. Hence the body contact is made by heads and shoulders. The linemen should always wear headgear and shoulder pads. The linemen when ou the offense should charge low, trying to get under their opponents with their shoulders. Cross body blocking is used where there is more room for action. This is a common method used by the end and tackle. It is advisable to have kidney and hip protectors when attempting the cross body block. Another method of getting the opposition out of the way is the body pivot. The legs are swung around using hands on ground as a pivot. The lineman must watch his playing as a great deal of dirty work is carried on in close line play. Many new rulings, have eliminated old methods of blocking and rooting that were dangerous. The old time “back bridge" where the linemau threw his heels around in his opponents face has been eliminated. Wrestling and tumbling make good linemen. Many linemen go out for wrestling when the football season is over. Grappling makes them more practiced in handling their opponents in the line. The importance of the linemen may be better understood from the fact that seven men play on the line while only four play in the backfield. Each position on the line requires' a different build of player. The ends should be tall and rangy, the tackles should be the biggest built men on the team, the guards should be heavy and good at blocking, while the center should be all ot these three. Editor’s note: Pat Page will discuss the center trio of the line In Article 14. o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays I
