IRON < BY WALTER CAMP. . y are apparent that interest in foot ball this season will be greater and more widely distributed than ever before The ecastern and far western téams, already in the throes of preliminary practice, are being watched closely and the exciting games played in the middle west conference last season, several of which were decided in the last minute of play, have made everyoody keen for the beginning of the season in that xerrim?' The conicrence ruling preventing the assembly of teams before mid-Septem- ber is a considerable hardship for th teams in the ecarly season: It is to be expeoted that the east- ern stadlums should be filled to over- Sowing with spectators, but the dis- Uemination of the . sport through other setions is most_interesting to a student of the game. Not only is there intenss irterest in the middle west and on the Pacific const, but the suth has grown fond of the gridiron ime and the crowds in attendance at tches there soon will demand bet- ter acconymodations and more of them. Foot ball has progressed south of the Mason and Dixon line until even the Florida Everglades have been pene- trated. : 4 _ Populgrity Ts Spreading. Few realize, also. the progress which the sport has made in the Missouri valley, where the conference championship was_won last -year by the University of Oklahoma. The Bouthwestern Intercollegiate Athletic Association also has made its mark in foot ball. Last ye thusiasts gathered for the Thanks-| giving day game. which was won by the University of Texas. Think of it! Only a few years ago this would have been a big crowd even for a ‘ale-Harvard game. There was good foot ball played Ir west Texas, New Mexico and Arl- zona. with the University of Arizona @s one of the most outstanding teams of the section. In the Rocky mountain region the 1920 foot ball season was an un- bounded success. with the attendance at all games far In excess of any previous year since the conference wag established. Two former east- ars made their appearance in ose aggregations which meet eastern that section as coaghes last year and will continue there this season. They were' Fred' Murphy, the ol Yale halfback, who is couching the Iniversity of Denver, and Witham, the Dartmouth star, Whe has charge of the: University of Calorado team. The decisive game. of the , Rocky mountain _season was between the Colorado “Aggies and Denver on Thanksgiving "day, when a ‘record crowd saw the Aggies win, 14 to 0. Game Booming om Coast.

The 1921.season will be formally inaugurated on September 17 at Orono, e., when. the. Unjversity of Maine plays Fort McKinley. From that time until the Army and Navy game.in New York on November 36."nterest | will be unabated, and there are also some intersactional games scheduled after that date.

Frawley, stroke of the varsity crew, and a powerful fellow of 190 pounds, 1= almost certain to make one guard. W He has been on the squad for three seasons, and would have won & regu- lar place long ago, but for a bad knee. This seems to be perfectly well now. Carney, substitute last year, xhould have a good chance for the place on the other Side. He is a rangy fellow of 205 pounds, and with the proper effort should distance compe- tition. Other Promising idates. Other good men for the guard posi- tions are Dahlgren and Winkjer, of the old squad. and Long and Hudgins of the new class. Dahligren rowed last #pring and increased greatly In weight and strength. Long, weighing 208 ounds, was a guard at Swarthmore st year, and Hudgins is a gigantic youth from the mountains of Tennes- Bee. He weighs 222 pounds. and is ery powerful, but has had only a ittie foot ball experience. The Navy team also is a little weaker | @t end than in the other positions, excepting the guards. Capt. Ewen, the right flank man, has graduated, but Parr is _left on the other Wing.

There is little doubt that the mat- ter of guards and ends will be ar- ranged successfully and team has no other weak spots, ex- cept as to the kicking. 7n the mat- ter of high-grade backs( the Navy probably never has been Ao well sup- plied.
