I . i Against these bdds, the Bearcats aye preparing to present a fighting ! defense, with little hope for an ef- fectlTe attack unless the men now missing from practice on account of injuries and illness, are able to get back in the lineup. Eaton, Wlnslow and f'Dutch" Diets are apparently going to get the call for backf ield positions in this. game: Eaton is still nursing a severe "charley" and all three are woefully light, but are Keene's best- bets as long as all his regu lars, Including Lang, - Cranor, Houk, Zeller and French, are on the shelf with injuries and illness. The Bearcat line, which came through so nobly In .the Pacific game, is intact with the exception of Versteeg, whose previous injur ies were renewed as a result of his participation in last Saturday's contest. Indications at present are that thla line will have to do more than its share in . the Armistice .day game, and its . efforts will be watched with interest. " - . - - One of the most pleasing fea tures of the Bearcat development this- year has t been the improve ment shown by several ot the line men who were only fair last year; and of these men, -llort, guard, is one who has .hardly -..been given the recognition-be merits. Mort has shown a Varld et peed anil (aggressiveness lhta season,' and will be In line for consideration when ' allconference' honors are d ietributed.
