There are several candidates, who, judging largely from their performances in last ‘spring’s drills, may be capable of handling Trosko’s position.

Both sophomores have strength, size and speed to make exceptionally good tackles but lack experience. The guards and ends offer no problem, I only wish that some of the other positions were as well fortifled with reserve material. At the ends we have Big Ed Frutig and Joe Rogers as the mainstays with Ed Czak and Harlin Fraumann, both award winners last year, as their replacements. The starting guards probably will remain the same as last year. Milo Sukup and Ralph Fritz return to the lineup as well as Bill Melzow. Bob Kolesar of Cleveland made a fine showing with -the freshmen last spring and he and Melzow will no doubt be called upon for most of the relief work. In general, all positions lack reserve strength. If we can uncover good reserves we should go places. If not, we will have to-do the best we can.

Times Special

AUSTIN, Tex. Sept. 24.—Expressing great satisfaction with the| showing of his University of Texas Longhorns in scrimmage games, Coach Dana X. Bible was to spend today smoothing the rough edges

off the Texas offensive.

In the final scrimmage game yesterday before the curtain-raiser with Colorado University Saturday Cowboy Jack Crain grabbed the

spotlight again with two long touchdown runs.

The 165-pound half-

back, who gained national fame last season with his spectacular runs, scampered 58 yards for one touchdown and returned an intercepted

pass 75 yards for another tally.

Looking forward to their invasion of the north one week from Saturday the Longhorns are pointing for Bo McMillin’s. Hoosiers. . “Those Yankees up there in the Big Ten think they play the best football in the country, so we are going to show them how we do it in the Southwest Conference,” commented one lanky Steerman. Today the Texans will concentrate on reverse and lateral pass plays with which they hope to baffle the Colorado and Indiana elevens.
