The forward defense should be powerful and on offense the line should be a potent factor In ad-vanclnp the ball by line smashes. But a speed boy or two in the backfleld Is almost a necessity, not alone for advancing- the ball but for break-ins up opponents' forward passing; attacks.

"Sec" Taylor, Western league sport critic, under whose diree-tion the managers conducted their says of Joe: "Joe Berber, the Wichita veteran player, who has been on the all-star selections every year except one in seven years the managers have been naming them for the writer, received more votes than any other player a great tribute to the veteran's ability. "There was no shortstop this year In Joe Berger's class, in the field and at bat, but there were several good men in the position at that, notably Kerr of Denver, Hamilton of Sroux City and McGInnis of Tnlsa." Strange as it may seem, Joe had the best season of his long career.

Youth Is not always served. Practically all the members of both honorary teams are seasoned veterans. The Wichita fans are strong for him.

Two new men reported for football practice at Augustana college yesterday afternon, and with the appearance of these two gridiron in Question are Roland Benaie ci Moline and Reynold Swenson Rockford. Both men have had considerable football experience and each showed speed and class in yesterday's practice. Bendle played in the backfield for Moline high school in 1919 and Swenson is a Rockford high product, having had two years experience there.

While Swenson appears to be able to hold down a backfield position, he is equally at home at any position in the line, end a fast end. wed berg will propably give the Rockford boy a tryout'at each of these positions, but inasmuch as backfleld men are in such demand it is probable that it is there that he will play. 1 Although the addition of Bendle and Swenson gives new hopes for a strong backfield, that department is etill badly in need of more materials Eph Erickson is showing adeptnesa at quarter, Gike Larson Is rounding into form. Dick Dopp is gradually losing a lot of his superfluous beef, and Ilelder and Al Olson are working hard: However, these 'five men, aided by Bendle and Swenson. constitute Swedberg's cn- tire personnel of backfield men.

While these seven men will no doubt take care of th'eirj respective positions-in good shape, yet Augus-tana's chances of producing a winning eleven wouli be much better had Coach Swedrferg twice that number to work with.
