hot to begin thinking about football it? Bat youngsters that attend classes up at (the College, you have heard so much about lately, are already planning and training for ir football schedule for the coming in. And you can bet your last chewing backer that the Cats w.ll have a big season. I can it as plain aa day. It be long until the boys sw.ng into action forming a battling aggregation from Clifton College Known to the football followers (f the a- the And if you ever around the park down I at Clifton drift around and watch boys work out, takf a squint at the i rhythmic of the attack, the shifty hacks in their offense, and the colorful linesmen in the 1 smashing dofense forming a victorious machine clicking with the pre- ir.ion clockwork and you can bo Nure that it is none other than the Clifton College football -quad coached by the master-hand, Edmund Ganil- rud, who comes to Clifton from a State where they play football as it should be played. Clifton College plans to have the best team in the history of tne school and when the curtain rises on the conference race this year they intend to jump in up to their neck, clean every team in the conference, and emerge a glorious victor as the exalted champions of the conference to carry the championship back to Clifton College, heme of the fighting and lWgi en the Everything favors the I oys in their championship hunt.

It is up the citizens of Clifton to back the team to last man; boost the College, go out to the game and holler like you have been wanting to all these ar because Clifton College's year a- ar-i rived. And to make a successful record they must have the help if the entire ti and country-side. soue County should revel in the fact that their only college will be battling every inch of the way in an effort to coy the coveted conference flag'.

Here is a list of the lettermen who will rvturn for the I ig season: Romine. captain-elect, is a gem cf consistency on the gridiron. He is a natural leader v. has the wtlfare of the Cats at Romine is a determined football player who knows the rules from cover to cover. He Jives up to the code and is a sportsman through and through.

Krtudson, an end who has seldom been taken cut of a play in his football career. Knudson tackles with the deadly accuracy of Rags Matthews and yet receives passes in the sensational Dawson style. And the lad has acquired a habit of blotting out ball carriers just like an army tank mowing down wire. Knudson, a big bruising i tackle who spreads devastation in his path. His offensive work is the despair of all rivals and on the de- i fense Knudson plays in the) opposing backfield.

Ar a tackle he plays second fiddle to no man in the conference. Tergerson, a play-wrecking tackle who takes great pleasure in mussing up the formations behind the line of scrimmag'e and whose charge on the offense resembles the recoil of a steel spring. McKenzie, a guard cf the Indian rubber type who gets better as the going gets rougher. McKenzie is a I valuable man on the defense and on i the offense he drops out of the line I with the quickness and quietness of I an alley cat to become a first class interference runner. I Huse, the celebrated snapperbrtck, has an uncanny nose for the man with the ball and roves from one flank to another making tackles all over the field.

On the offense Huse feeds the backs with the precison of an automatic stoker. Rhodes, a halfback, is nothing less than a 150-pound bundle of T. N. T. He has an elusive hip movement that would make most famous Hula Hula girl turn green with envy.

And it is said that when it comes to forward passing Rhodes can thread a needle running under full steam. Shield, a flashing halfback, is a yard or so in the wrong direction. He the medium of fake telegrams. rip the opposing line to shreds. Hall is a back cf the steady, plunging type, not so flashy, but always in the thick of the fight.

He is indeed a valuable man. Some more fighting Cats: Thompson is sure to perform i factor ii tnis year after delivering successfully in the pinches season. Sorensen, a star of the first water, hampered by injuries last to become one cf toe best the roster this year. Lind berg is a bet this year. Hi is not the Lone Eagle but one of the righting tats.
