"Nevertheless, Coach Hollis Huntington of the Salem high, school squad will issue his call for practice the first day of school, a week from Monday, and ex pects to have a large squad on hand. Huntington comes on the scene facing a prospect that is' not go ing to blind him with its bright ness. Last June a majority of the regulars whom Coach Louis An derson depended upon last season, received their diplomas and will be seeking other worlds to con quer this fall. The group includes Jones and Gottfried, tackles; Bowne, center; George and Settle in ier, guards; Busch, end; and Backe and Blaco, halfbacks. In addition, Ecker, a regular end. will not be in school. That leaves, of the regulars, only Adams, end; Drager, guard; Charles Kelly, quarterback and captain: and Bob Kelly, fullback. The latter may be unable to play on account of an infected foot. Nevertheless Coach Huntington had a likely squad out for spring practice, and he hopes to whip a fair team into shape although be isn't predicting a championship. Some of the reserves on last year's squad were Woolley, Pettlt, King and Elgin, back field men; Coomler, tackle; .Wright and Hardman, guards; and Golden, end. How many of them will be in school this fall, the coach will not know until he issues the an nual call for candidates. In addition, at least two active looking lads who have bad con siderable gridiron experience else, where, have moved to Salem with their parents and will be on band to try for the team.
