THE COURIER. THE GRIDIRON. Candidates for positions on the uni versity football team this fall will begin practice about the eighteenth or twen tieth of thih monih. The prospects ore inoro encouragir g for ugood lime this te ison than thev have been for B3veial yeaes. The high schco's promiso u larger number of experiencid placers than any previous rea'oa, anJ they aro iW players who havo obtained a certu'i) reputation on the gridiro-. Heat-ice, O.imha, Soward, Nebraska City aie among tho cities why will fur nish the gr-itest amount of new ma terial. The ila)erd or last fall will all return to try for the team again with possibly one or two exceptions. When these facta aro considered 030 sees that the struggle for a place 011 the team is going tj be moro severe than ever In fore. AnoJher very pro r.i ing featuro is to bo found in the expactiJ increas3 in the attendaccB o! the university. With an enrollment of eighteen hundred or two thousand student?, thero is sure to be a largo number of unknown and un developed playeis. Seventy-live men at least should bo seen trying for the 'var sity eleven by the tirst of October. A trip through Iowa, Visc3n3in, and Minnesota is contemplated early in Oc tober. Should this be artangod it will be the best possible means to bring the players, and new ones especially, intD line. A few early games in rapid order will do more than anything else to give to a new man coolness and even indiffer ence, which is so much needed to play a good steady game. OuO dilliculty which the new plajer experiences is the com ing in with the other univeraity teams and players. At first he feels that they are all experienced men, while he is new and inexperienced. This leaves him a tittle timid and the best results are not obtained. An early trip with rapiJly sucjeiding games do away with this feeling and lend to give the team sta bility individually and collectively, and establishes confidence and a certiin amount of dependence, ono upon tha other among the members cf the team. This is essential to good fail work acd to successful lesultj. Tho rules for the seison of 97 aro ex actly the same as those of last season no changes whatever ooiog made. This is due to tho Eatisfactory results ob tained from playing by '03 rules. Last fall the game was cleaner, more open, and a great deil better game to watcb. No serious injuries, such as in previous years, were reported whatever, and under theso rulo3 a better feeling exists among the players of oppi3ing teams No opportunity fjr unfair p!aying is given in the game, and it seeiu3 to be the general sentiment anions the play ers thcmBelve3 to kep tho presant high etandarJ. Under the pre-cnt system a great deal of kicking is found necessary, or if not exactly neceswry, advantage ous, so th9 game at present is a kicking game. Especially ii this t rue of our own Varsity game. Coach Ilobinson believes that a good, open, kicking game is the bf st game; and tin tup3riori y or his game was clearly demons rated. A kicking gani3 i3 one which can alwajs be followed by the spactitor, and for that reason is papular. A close, mass game, although perhaps at time3 more scientific, can not always bo followed and for that reason is 11 jt a favorite oac. Iowa realized her position, and rising to the emergency, piocured the funds to settle with her coach. This was due to the en rgy of her manager and two of her young professors. For the coming autumn's training, that university has arranged with en of lasv. year's Lafay ette team to tike chargo of the work. Lafayette will be remembered a putting forth a wonderful t?am for 60 Biuall a school. It defeuted U. of P. and played sjveral ot tho leading universities an unusually clos? gamo. What this mpii will do during the coming year can only be surmised; and hiH style of game is only a conjectuie. but it is very likely to be similar t Bull's Pennsylvania style last year, on account of tho proximity of tho ecIiodIs. Tho team winning j.ho pannant of tho Western Inter-Collegiate league will in all probability play tho winner of tl e Middle West leu cup t Cbicagi. Tha reboots of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Uni versity of Caicigoand Michigan, arj all strong and whoever of tha four wins out will give tho winner of our own league the hardest gams it ever shared.
