There will be no lack of 'good material for the backfield ana tnn hiit iama of the boys will be Just ut of Junior high and ,a little young as well as inexperien ced, says Hunungion. The backfield. situation depends to a great extent on whether su- ral, hard charging back and aeaa- ly defensive man, is able to re turn to school. He is a bit uncer tain about It. Weisser will be back and that takes one big load olf tne coach's mind as not many full backs in high school football are likely to outplay him. Backfield PUcea Will Xeed FIHina: DeMaris, who showed flashes of greatness last year, will be out again and Is likely to be -more consistent. Other candidates are for the most part sopnomores.
