KICKERS GET ATTENTION First Year Men Compose Bulk of Squad, but Others Are Expected Out Soon. Continued inclement weather has forced a complete shake-up in Coach Harry Kipke's spring football plans. He had intended starting outdoor drills last Tuesday, but Monday's severe snowstorm made it necessary for him to abandon these plans indefinitely until the weath- er should take a turn for the better. As it is now the squad of 67 hope- fuls are working out three nights a week in Yost field house. Since Kipke's plans call for five weeks of work outdoors the squad will prob- ably be kept busy until after the first of May. Hold First Scrimmage. The first scrimmage session of the season was held last Thursday night. P-ractice up to that time had consisted solely of routine work on fundamentals., Art Patchin, a freshman, is the first casualty of the season. He sus- tained a broken collarbone. Sev- eral others have suffered minor in- juries from falls on the hard floor of the field house. About eighty percent of the men composing the squad now are freshmen, but with the exception of a few men participating in spring sports, the remainder will be out after the vacation recess. Work on New Formations. j Kickers and passers are coming in for considerable attention, while the squad as a whole is working on new formations and plans that will he used in the scrimmage sessions later on. ,There is a possibility that one or two more scrimmage sessions will be held before the spring holiday. The bulk of the heavy work will be carried over until the squad is able to work outdoors, however.

Although thes facilities offered by the batting andc fielding nets do not offer the ad- vantages to be found outdoorson IKO the Ferry Field diamond, the can- didates have shown a good deal of improvement, and should be start- t ed fairly on their way to the build- ing of a successful nine by the time they do get outside. Most of the batters are findinc their eyes for the ball, and the hurlers are rounding into form. Th lives of the managers chasing the spheres down in the batting nets are often imperiled by hearty swats which would be sizzling liners on the field. t Hudson to Be Replaced.
