CONOORDIAN Page Three GRIDMEN SHOW PROMISE OF ANOTHER TOUGH SQUAD COACHES CLEVE AND BENSON PLEASED AS URGE GRODP REPORT Eleven Lettermen Turn Out For Initial Practice Session Monday Afternoon Fritz To Return For Campaign Next Fall Maroon And Gold Forward Wall Promises To Be One Of Strongest In Loop It© work of drilling the Cobber foot-ball aspirants in the regular spring work began in earnest Monday when forty men turned out for the first out-door workout. Previous to the first outdoor session two weeks of "skull practiso" had been held by the coach- Cobber Mentors Express Views On Changes In Football Rules Concordian Reporter Receives Varied Answers; Cleve and Benson Favor Some But State Others Are Insignificant ea. The first workout showed a wealth of material for the coaches to draw up-on in rebuilding the team which last year won its first Minnesota state con-ference championship with four vic-tories. Eleven lettermen were num-bered in the two score men that ca-vorted rather lightly in the first day's practise session. Clevo Tutors Backs The bocks were assembled under Coach Cleve who had them trotting through some plays in order to loosen up some muscles, which haven't been in practice for several weeks. The head coach had Moran, Hilde, Miller, Dahl, Thorson, and Fossum running off a few formations and after a short workout called them off from their first practice of the year. Line coach Louis Benson assembled his old men and newcomers in another corner of the field and after testing their speed and endurance with several well-devised exercises, proceeded to drill the aspirants in a few tricks in line charging. The fiery line tutor began immediately to acquaint the new men and several of the veterans with the type of line play which last year branded the Concordia forward wall as the finest in the loop. After an hour's drill the potentials were dismissed. Prospects Pleasing The prospects were pleasing to Coaches Cleve and Benson after the short workout they evinced beliefs that the spring work should bring out many possibilities for next season's eleven. In the opinion of Captain-elect Paul Figenshaw, the squad looks fine. In a statement to The Concordian, he said "The large number of fellows working out this spring is a good indication that much interest in the game here at Concordia is present among the men. The fellows look fine and no doubt several good men will develop from these fine prospects." Bob Frifce to Return Robert Fritz, International Falls, Minn., the star fullback of last year's Cobber team, concerning whom reports have been circulated will not return to Concordia for next year's eleven, will return for practise next fall according to an authentic report from the Cobber athletic department Fritz has kept close contact with Cobber athletics since his departure last winter and has signified his intentions for returning here next year. Freshmen gridders, who won their numerals last year, and who may re-turn for practice next year are: Ed-ward Rorvig, Nome, N. D., Mike Mc- Guire, Washburn, N. D., John Meehan, Moorhead, Minn., and Rudolph Chris-tianson, Moorhead. The lettermen who reported for practice this week are. Paul Figen-shaw, qaptain-elect, Earl Moran, Pat Hilde, Clifford Nick, Theodore Renne, Oliver Johnson, Cornell Otteson, Ernest Langseth, Donald Anderson, Elmer Roetedc, and Olaf Fossum. Many Reserves Report Reserve and frosh include Carroll Malvey, Edward Zeien, Ben Holter, Ralph Miller, Hardean Bjerke, Stanton Thorson, Eddie Dahl, Arthur Dronon, Leo Nelson, Walter Sogn, Olaf Staven, Rolf Daehlin, LeRoy Jorgenson, Good-win Erickson, Arthur Borstad, May-bourne Eid, Lawrence Wright, Ralph Ness, John Ross, Russell Molldrem, Marcus Nichols, Manfred Ohnstad, Irwin Brekke, Manfred Dahle, Harold Nohre, Fred Marsden, Lester Sticks tad, Einer Johnson, Carl Nelson, Vemon Fossum, Gunnar Olson, Johan Berge, Norbert Matthees, and Oscar Swanson. The practise session will continue for two weeks if weather conditions allow. The season will be devoted primarily to drill in fundamentals and reviewing plays in order to facilitate the fall work. The season will be closed with a game to be played between two picked teams in which the ability will be evenly divided- T3ie game will give several new men experience and sharpen up the spirit of many of the veterans who will find a man or two contesting his post with him. There have been many opinions advanced concerning the benefit or evil of the football rules changes which are the most radical alteration since 1906, according to the National Rules Committee. Crislcr of Princeton thinks they're a fine thing; Bierman of Minnesota thinks that they are not much of an im-provement So they go—one opinion is counter balanced by another—each proposiing to reflect his personal views on the subject The fact that the rules have been adopted nullifies any proposals that they should be disregarded, however. The Concordian presents the views held on these rules changes by the two men who direct thp football activi-ties at Concordia. Head Coach Frank Cleve believes the rules for the most part are very satis-factory and will result in a better game both fo rthe players and the spec-game both for the players and speq- Clevc endorses the changes unreserved-ly. Line Coach Louis Benson does not believe that the new changes will have much effect on next year's play. He does not agree with several of the changes as wrought by the committee and feels that they will not have much bearing on the game this year. 1. The formation of a team re-ceiving the kickoff by requiring that the receiving team remain on their forty-live yard line until the ball is kicked and that the kick may be made from placement, or by drop kick, or by punt. Cleve—"This rule is designed funda-mentally to restrict the old flying wedge which is so unscientific. I do not believe that this rule will remedy this trouble because the players on the receiving team can go back and form a flying wedge around their runner after the kick. The rule changing the type of kick is good I think because it will allow more time for the kicking team to get down under kicks. We will use the punt next year as our kickofi." Benson—"I agree with several coaches that this rule of changing the BOY SCOUT ACTIVITY CENTERED IN MERIT BADGE ASSEMBLAGE Concordia Scoutmasters Take Part In Demonstrations At Exposition Boy Scout activity at the college centered this week in an ex^jpsition presented at the physical education building of the North Dakota State col-lege, Fargo, when the members of all the scout troops in the Red River Council assembled for their annual Merit Badge exposition. Approximate-ly fifteen hundred boys from sections of Minnesota and North Dakota includ-ed in the Red River Valley district came together for their big jamboree. The exposition began Friday evening nnd continued on through part of Sun-day. The Concordia scoutmasters as well as those in training took an active part in the demonstrations, some of the lo- . J cal troops giving exhibitions.

To forbid a player on defense to strike an opponent on the head, neck, or face with hand, wrist, forearm, or elbow. Cleve—"This rule although it is good will be very difficult to enforce and will depend a great deal upon the laxity or stringency of the officials. The principal is good." Benson—"To me this rule is an ill designed one. It deprives the game of much of its advantage for the little fellow in defense against a larger op-ponent. I do not think that the rule can be carried oui successfully." 3. To allow a withdrawn player to be put back in the game once in any subsequent quarter. Cleve—"This rule is a fine improve-ment and will be greeted with much satisfaction by coaches. It will allow us to remove a slightly injured player in iavor of another and then replace him immediately if possible. It is a good rule." Benson—"This rule is one of the few improvements that the rules changes have brought about. I heartily indorse tiu acceptance." 4. To forbid the flying tackle and block. Cleve—"The flying tackle has always been in the rules and it has not been closely watched. This fact prompts me to believe that the rule will not be of very much significance.' ' Benson—"This rule change strikes me as being just another sham in these rule changes. I do not think that it will affect the play next year." 5. To make the ball dead when any part of the boll carrier's body contests. Edward Bohnhoff, athletic director at Central high school, Grand Forks, N. D., was the chief speaker at last year's gathering. All lettermen who intend to return for the banquet are asked to make re-servations with Hardean Bjerke, secre-tary of the club. Much could be said of a Scotchman if he could be caught young.

Benson—"This rule is all right and I endorse it It will enable teams to meet the teams which boast some slippery runners." 0. Pad all the equipment which is hard and unyielding with some felt, foam rubber, or soft padding at least three-eighths of an inch thick. Cleve—"I am in favor of this rule and feel sure that several of the minor injuries will be done away with." Benson—"This rule is favorable and I believe that it will be an asset to the game in that it will lessen minor in-juries." Martinson's Optical Dept.

The Concordia men's dormitory quar-tered many of theB young scouts who were distributed to many points in the two cities for lodging. Dr. A. V. Storm, head of the scout short course at the University of Min-nesota, St Paul; Paul Love, regional executive of St Paul; F. A. Bean, vice chairman of Region Ten, St Paul and Charles Sommer, a member of the na-tional scout executive board, St. Paul, were among the outstanding men in tho assemblage. The exposition was of particular in-terest and value to Concordia scout men because it showed on a large scale the purpose and accomplishment of scout work. Many of the local scout leaders took part in the demonstration. The jamboree revealed great strides made in scouting and according to sev-eral leading scout men at the college will serve as a stimulus to the continu-ation of the scout work here, since Concordia is the only college in the states of North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana which has recognized the value of such a training and has instituted it into its regular academic schedule. Intersociety Track Dropped In Favor Of Interclass Meeting At a meeting of the men of the inter-society council, class presidents, Coach Frank Cleve, and Dr. T. O. Burgess, a motion was adopted whereby the policy of having intersociety track meets was dropped and in its place a program of interclass track was decided upon. After a thorough discussion of the respective merits of the two types of track work, the group voted favorably on accepting and supporting a program of competitive track between classes. Tho group accepted a resolution whereby each class will nominate a committee of two men to act together with the student representative on ath-letics and athletic department. This committee will be in charge of the trade Tliey will be responsible for the training, the track meets ,and for the men to be in charge of the actual work.
