aybe Badgers Will Be Better ‘Than Last Year, but So Will The Other Teams in Big Ten

Middle of the Line Is Problem Now; Experienced ~ Backfield Is Big Help

By HARRY STUHLDREHER University of Wisconsin Football Coach, (Written for the United Press) - MADISON, Wis, Sept 23.—As the football season draws near, it Usually is the custom to have the prospects of various teams evaluated by experts. Much to my surprise, Wisconsin has been placed in the role of “dark horse.” It is said the Badgers are ready to roar. On what this observation is based I'm not sure.

It is necessary then for me to hazard a guess. I presume the experts took into consideration our ate 1940 season. It is true that at the tail end of last fall our squad was on the upgrade. Another basis for the enthusiastic feeling may be the fact that quite a few of the boys who finished fast were underclassmen. In adding these Wo points together, without taking other factors into consideration, it might be misleading.

Paskvan Gone

Let’s remember that. some very capable men who were directly responsible for this incline: no longer are with us. Capt. John Tennant. whose inspirational play was unequalled, is one of them. A - two-year All-Conference ‘ fullback, and incidentally a dandy, George Paskvan, is another. The_ three playing guards, Dick Embick, Gordon Gile and Fred Gage, are three ‘more. CIliff Phillip, Al Lorenz and E. Wegner, all fine ends, are graduated together with Elmer Tornow, who played a lot of tackle. Claude York, regular right halfback, who, asa result of spring drills, appeared coming up for his best year, has enlisted in the Naval Air Service. I do, however, look for an improved Wisconsin team. Just how _ much it is hard to say. Every

squad seems to be better, so it might not mean much. Our big task right now is development of the middle of the line. Last year our inexperienced men had some difficulty. Bob McKay and Bob Henry are juniors now and should come along. Dick Thornally, regular tackle, has been transferred to center to augment it

Good. Ends

Last year’s reserves and sophomores will have to take care of the guards. Despite the loss of good ends mentioned, we have several boys who have had sufficient game experience to man these spots in good shape. This group is led by Dave Schreiner, who a lot of coaches félt was among the topHoteners in midwestern football last fall. Very fortunately, Wisconsin will have: experience all through the backfield. Led by an able senior quarterback, Tom Farris, these runners, passers and kickers should be able to make some impression. The schedule is of the bonecrushing variety: Marquette Oct. 4, Northwestern Oct. 11, Iowa Oct. 18, Indiana Oct. 25, Syracuse Nov, 1, Ohio State Nov: 8, Purdue Nov. 15 and Minnesota Nov. 22. : In any language, that is a mouthu. .

When Manual High School's

jerseys weren't tucked heatly in their grid pants.

“At least you should look like a

football team,” he remarked. “Aw gee, coach,” one lineman grinned. “Don’t say that—you’ll ruin our confidence.” That's Manual for you this year —confident, spirited, ready to wise-crack and also ready to work and co-operate.

coaching staff has come a revision .

in the system of athletic awards, which is intended to encourage larger squads. Already the results are visible. A squad of 52—the largest in several years—reported to Janzaruk for practice. Among the 16 seniors who appeared at Delavan Smith’ Field were 10 seniors who hadn’t played: football before. “I admire their spirit,” Janzaruk remarked. “I only wish they had

He’s Cénter Joe Stephonic. The guards will be Joe-Lecks and Ray Ball, while William Vander Moere, a vet‘eran’ who promises to be one of the city’s outstanding tackles this

year, will be teamed with Don, Hafer. The two ends, Leroy Callahan and Jim Popcheff, will be light but - ambitious. Altogether this hole-breaking department should average about 165 pounds. Of course, the lineup, like a railroad timetable, is subject to change without notice. You can expect Nusbaum and Walt Hillsman to see quite a bit of action in the line, and Paul Brandes and Walter Hein, ga transfer from:

backfield assignments. V Regardless of what this year’s Redskin eleven does, Janzaruk will be well-fixed for 1942. Strie-

Tigers to Open

|New Stadium

Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 23.— DePauw University will use its new $80,000 football stadium for the first time Saturday when the Tigers open their 1941 season against Franklin College. The actual dedication, however, will be a week later when the Home-coming game is played with Carleton College as a feature of Old Gold Day. Franklin, one of DePauw’s earliest

rivals in football, played the dedi-

cation game when Blackstock Field was first used in 1923, and gave the DePauw team of that year a real test before succumbing, 20-9. Coach Neal is anticipating another battle Saturday. Coach Neal expects to concentrate during this week of practice on sharpening plays, improving backfield timing, and stressing defensive tactics, particularly pass-defense. Daily scrimmage was promised the squad. _The Tiger starting lineup slowly is taking shape. Veterans will command most of the positions, with only one sophomore apparently certain of a starting position. Richard McQally, former Oakwood High School star of Dayton, Ohio, will be at right guard, teaming with George Crane, another Dayton boy who is playing’ his third year as a regular. Both tackles will be 200-pound lettermen, Ray Moehring of St. Mary’s, Ohio, and James Highland of Decatur. Four veteran ends are available with Don Jones of Greencastle and Roger Holcomb of River Forest, Ill, probably receiving the call over Carl Woessner of Dayton, O., and Max Biggs of Cuyahoga Falls, ‘0. William Becker of Park Ridge, Ill, junior letterman, will

Abe at center.

In the backfield Coach Neal has shifted Art Lavidge, a senior; and an outstanding passer, from halfback to quarterback. John Long, a junior from Toledo, O., has been shifted into the fullback position; while Warren Brown of Chicago, and Jack DeWar of Park Ridge, Ill, are working at halfback. Brown is a senior and DeWar a junior. This will give DePauw a line average of 183 pounds and a backfield that averages 175 pounds
