There are 55 out working for positions year. That number Is more than enough to form four teams and althouch scrimmage games have not yet begun the number of teams Is always a factor to consider In laying plans for high school practice season. The aspirants for berths on the first string are all fighting furiously to prove to Shrout that each is better than the other. That Is an Ideal situation for both coach and team. It brines out the best there is in the lads.

But as was said in the beginning of this story It creates a tough problem for the coach. One has to search for small details In order to decide who Is better than the other on a squad battling for places as the young warriors are at Sycohl. IMsplay Rnrkne Tackles Consider the tackling in practice this fall. The boys are hitting with terrific force and carrying the ball carrier through the air to slam down with such force they nre rather slow about getting up again and that Is hat helps when the opponents nre carrying the ball near the friendly goal at a critical stage of the game. Hard tackling was one of the features of the great Rockne system at Notre Dame.

Another proof that the Svcohl gridders are all Interested and anxious to do their best is Indicated by the fact that the entire battalion of 55 are out every night. Maybe they are late because of some extra work to do but they are in uniform and working before the afternoon Is over. Tractlcs was a bit late yesterday but Coach Shrout stated last evening that he got more done In a short space of time than any four hour practice he can recall in other years here. The eon son doesn't look so bad for the purple and goIJ on the gridiron this year. With a good hatch of material returned from the 1581 platoon and a wealth' of new material all battling with much fury for places on the team, a good chance to show much better results than in many pust seasons seem quite pronam.

The opening skirmish with iiarvard here Is one week from to morrow.

RUSSIA BAITS HOOK WITH GOLD (Continued from Pag L) the deeply grounded belief of most Russian observers, would moreover at this time serve as a powerful factor In maintaining world peace. The absence of diplomatic contacts between the two powers, both signatories of the Kellogg Pact and both in various degree proponents of disarmament, is a disturbing element in Interactional politics.

The situation created by Japanese activities in China, it is further emphasized, brings the necessity for contacts between the United States and the Soviet Union Into especially clear focus. Alms which both Mos cow and Washington seem to be pursuing independently with a view to preventing war in the far east might have been effectively co-ordinated, the theory goes. If a formal barrier did not exist. Russians in positions of influence have openly told the writer that any American gesture of friendship towards the Soviet regime at this time would act as a brake upon the extreme militarist wing In Japan and would thus prevent war In that dan gerous sector. With the recent conclusion of a Soviet -Polish non -aggression pact Moscow effected a chain of such pact on its western frontier in which Rou- manla Is the only missing link.

Statistics prove that for every three men aged between 71 and SO there are four women. For every four men over SI there are seven women.
