The spring work, which was completed last week, gave several evidences that the maroon and and gold, which will have a title to defend next fall, will be a powerful aggregation with much deception as well as speed and power. The finest type of weather made it possible for the Cobber grid instructors j Plans for an extensive program of tennis competition at the college are beginning to formulate with the daily appearance of many aspirants on the newly re-conditioned courts. Tlie sport which is one of the most popular of spring avocations has drawn many players including two veterans from last year's varsity team. They are Reidar Daehlin and Robert Teisberg, who competed in conference competi-tion last spring. Although nothing tangible has yet been done, it is anticipated that early action will result in the organization of competitive play either on class paces early in the workouts. Coach Frank Cleve selected his backs the first day of the practice and worked them individually as well as moulding several combinations of back fields from them, Cleve had Earl Moran drilling for the signal calling job both at quar-ter and at halfback position.' Olaf Fossum, who is regarded as the gamest player on the squad, worked out at a halfback job. Tricky Buimlng Game Pat Hilde, who played last year only for short intervals because of a bad knee, showed a most elusive style in running off formations from a half po-sition. Ben Hotter, a big fullback who scintilated at Luther last year and who will be eligible for competition here next fell, drove into the frosh line mightily to give the coaches a threat on linebucks which will allow them more freedom in their tricky running game. Among the frosh bocks, Ralph Miller showed promise as a fine blocker, Dahl exhibited speed and drive in darts off tackle, and TTiorson drove through the ends in fine style. The Rockne type of defense, which the squad will use together with other formations, will give the backfield material many diverse drives. Earl Moran and Pat Hilde booted long punts which branded them as capable of handling the Cobber kicking depart-ment. Benson Tutors Forwards Hie line candidates were taken care of by Louis Benson, who last year built up the finest line in the confer-ence. Many of the veterans including Capt. Paul Figenshaw, center, were out for the workouts and brushed up on some of the old tricks of "pushing them over." Coach Benson drilled the lettermen of last year which included Cornell Otoson, Elmer Rostede, Ernest Lang- 1 seth, guards; Theodore Renne, Oliver Johnson, tackles; Clifford Nick, end; in several new phases of the game which have been wrought by the rules changes. He also spent considerable time with several promising first year men. T^oy include: Lawrence Wright, Arthur Borstad, Rolf Daehlin, guards, and LeRoy Jorgenson, end. Reserves who are being counted on to come through following a good showing this spring are: Hardean Bjerke, Goodwin Erickaon, Arthur Dronen, ends; May-bourne Kd, Ralph Ness, Walter Sogn, tackles; Olaf Staven, center. Several first year men also' reported and will be tried next fall. Coaches Pleased , In the opinion of the coaches the spring practice was one of the best held in several years. The large squad of forty huskies gave many evidences of a fine spirit and pep which is usual-ly absent in spring workouts. Cleve was particularly pleased with the way in which several of the new men grasped the intricate features of the Rockne type of offence and is sure that ^they will work into many combinations of creditable backfielders. He believes that the offensive weapon of the Cob-ber team next year will be a hard one to stop because of the many different abilities represented in the backs who will be able to slip off the formations on various sweepe, darts, and drives with deception. Benson found much talent in some of the men who reported for line play. Ho believes that the Cobber line should be aa strong as last year. The play of the new men, who for the most part are green, impressed him and especial-ly their eagerness to learn. Then there are the two Scotch gun- ^inen who took their victim for a walk. to send their cohorts through! fast ha^s o r o n t h e b e s i s of v a r i o u s o t h c r organizations. According to the ath-letic department the interest shown in the court game this spring merits a definite program on an organized basis. The participation of a squad repre-senting the school in intercollegiate competition will depend upon the ma-terial which can be developed during the remaining weeks of play. With two veterans back it is believed that suffi-cient new material can be uncovered to bolster the squad which last year lost two men, Merrill Distad and Ferdinand Anderson. The athletic de-partment encourages all Cobbers who are interested to practice and use the excellent facilities at their disposal Classes Will Hold Individual Tournaments Today And Tomorrow May 18 and 19 has been set as the date for the interclass track meet as a result of negotiations between repre-sentatives of the four classes, the stu-dent athletic representatives, and the athletic department. Acting upon the suggestion of a re-solution passed by the intersociety council that each class elect two men to act with the coaches and student representatives to plan the events, the following men have been named: Vic-tor Boo, Lloyd Falgren, seniors; Ralph juniors; Dronen, Bakke, James Together with KOBBER ERNELS By G.

Sev-eral of the football men were able to absorb marks or signs that they are among the forty huskies who went through the usual two weeks of spring work. Langseth, who plays next to the center in Louis Benson's line, carries a small reminder on his nose. Merely the dirt of someone's cleat, possibly. And then maybe it's just "lest we forget" It was to the credit of Walter Sogn, a big tackle, however, that the first casualty was marked. After the first evening's hostilities Sogn came up with a series of "pants bruises" and just if you forget what they are like, take a piece of rough canvas and rub your face viciously along it a few times. You'll soon have a painfully clear conception of what they are like. Your operative found a tricky sys-tem of offense in the hands of a tricky set of backs when he watched them cavorting under the keen eye of Coach Cleve. An execution not usually found in early spring workout was in evi-dence when the lithe backs swept through their formations. Earl Moran, who will call the signals this year, came through with several runs that were as full of the tricks of the game as can be found. Often one could hear Earl call Pat Hilde's signal and then one could see Hilde shoot off tackle using a type of running which is as elusive as any in the conference. He is destined to create a sensation in the conference next year with his style of eluding his opponents. Dahl and Miller, frosh backs, blocked and drove hard. One could easily perceive a Johnson, Hardean Bjerke, Ernest Langseth, Arthur sophomores; Wallace Korstad, freshmen. these class representatives Robert Mal-vey, student manager on athletics, and Coach Frank Cleve are working out details for the meet The decision of the intersociety coun-cil to abrogate the policy of holding meets between societies and substitute in their stead the class meets has stimulated a new interest in track here. The class organizations are being formed. The various classes have de-cided to hold elimination contests to-day nnd tomorrow with the purpose of selecting the two men from each class to represent them in each event. The groups, after the competitors have been selected, will be coached by vet-eran track men here and also by the coaches. The preliminary contest will be over at the end of this week and it will provide the selected men a per-iod of three weeks in which to train for the final meet, which will be held in the third week of May. Although details in regard to the running of the meet have not yet been decided upon, it is believed that out-side and well qualified judges will determine the winners in order to pre-vent any disagreements. The meet will take place on the Concordia athletic field. The continuance of track at Concor-dia is a growth in the sport which was started two years ago as an intersociety affair. The interest in the sport, which JUNIORS TAKE TITLE IN VOLLEYBALL RAGE Seniors Lose, 39-20, In Playoff; Hazel Weatby Chalks Up 51 Tallies The juniors became the volleyball champions when they defeated the flashy seniors 39 to 20 in the final game of the tournament which was con-cluded recently. The plucky juniors held the lead throughout the game, although the seniors threatened several times to take the championship away from them with spirited attacks. Both teams exhibited excellent team work, and provided many thrills for the spectators. The seniors gained second place in the tournament, winning two of the four games played. In the first round of the tournament, the sophomores defeated the freshmen, 41 to 26, while the seniors triumphed over the juniors, 39 to 29. The seniors took the lead in the second round when they trampled the sophomores in a 45 to 24 victory. The juniors became victorious over the frosh defeating them 46 to 26. In the third round the juniors and seniors tied for championship when the freshmen triumphed over the sen-iors, 47 to 34, and the juniors lead the sophomores to a 49 to 21 victory. Hazel Westby, senior, was high point player of the tournament, mak-ing a total of 51 points, while Madelyn Lee took second place with 30 points. The tournament was managed and arranged by Alva Holte, W. A. A. vol-leyball manager. Hie volleyball tournament having been completed, the girls will now turn their attention toward spring sports. Mrs. W. E. Olson, instructor in physi-cal education, states that the girls will begin work in track in the near future. Diamond Aspirants Hold First Practice years, was hastened into realization when Dr. T. O. Burgess took over the duties as track coach. ITiis year Dr. Burgess has found the duties of his other offices too numerous to take an active jjart in the training of the ath-letes although he has been instrumen-tal in precipitating action this year. In the opinion of Dr. Burgess the transfer of the sport from the societies to the classes is a step in the right direction for the future advancement of the sport at Concordia.

Twenty-five men reported for the initial baseball practice, when Coach Cleve assembled his diamond aspir-ants Wednesday. »Hie first practice was held at the Moorhead League park. Fielding and batting practice consumed the greater part of the first day's work. According to ~C3eve the interest shown in the diamond sport this spring will no doubt result in an extensive program of baseball both as regards interclass and possibly an extension into intercollegiate competition. prim homm $ot winft* It seems so!
