By Assrx-lated Tress.) Undaunted by the fact that he faces one of the most difficult tasks of his 30 years as football mentor at the University of Chicago, Amos Alonzo Stagg, veteran coach of the Maroons, has gone about tho Job of turning out a team to face one of the hardest schedules in the school'a history. This schedule includes games at home with Princeton on October 2S, and the 60 year-old coach is working to make hi3 thirty-first team the best of his reign. Coach Stagg, affectionately known among students and alumni for two decades as "The Grand Old Man," has two large gaps In his formation that ho must fill und fill with capable men if his eleven is to compete successfully in trie "Rig Ten schedule and the It) games outside the con ference. IicU University Training. Vhilo he has much material from which to choose, most of his aspirants are lacking In university experience and there are hopes that a "dark horse" may emerge.

The most Important position to be filled is that of quarterback to replace Milton Rom-ney, the- "Utah Flash" who was declared lnellsiblo last spring. Stagg's Ji.iti has been made the more difficult because Cole, the substitute pilot, was graduated last Juno and none of the several aspirants thus far have made a strong bid for the position. Among tho candidates Is Alonzo Staiig C'cach Stagg's son. The other gap Is in the line. Captain Harold Lewis is' the only Veteran of last year's team at a tackle position and none Is left at the guards.

A number of the members of last year's freshman team are trying for these positions and It Is believed that Coach Stagg will not have as much trouble here as In finding a quarterback.

Short, heavy set nnd with Iron-gray hair, the stocky coach hus won the respect- and admlrutiun of students and alumni alike.
