BIG GAME SA
Tanned    by  the    winds    of Lake .
Mitchell   and hardened  by  a week's
grueling pre-season    practice    work
at the Y. M. C. A. camp at Cadillac
where they had gone to get into shape
for  a  stiff schedule,  Coach Parker's
husky Normalites made up a nealth-.
Iy looking squad when  they ■ appeared  on  Normal  Field  Monday   afternoon.    About 40 new    football    uniforms were issued to  the men who
reported.      New    red     and    yellow
sweaters,   red   and yellow  stockings,
new  moleskins,  and  new white  helmets  gave  a dashing appearance to
the gridironers.    They were put   to
work at once and played havoc with
tl eir spick and span new outfits in
slashing tackles at the sawdust man.
'   The men report a pi-ofitahle week
at the camp.    The    hour for rising
was   6:30.    A plunge  in  Lake   Mitchell whetted their appetites.   After
the   early   morning   meal   the   men
found    recreation    in    volley     ball
quoits,   and  golf.    Football practice
occupied    the time    from    9:30    to
11:30.    Dinner was served at  12:00,
with more recreational sports following.     Football   practice   again   took
up the time from 3:30 to 5:30.    At
6:00 o'clock the men had supper.   A
{chalk  talk followed,.-At 10:00    all r
) lights were put out  and the    footballers   ordered  to  bed.    The   *^ien
returned to Mt. Pleasant the following    Sunday,    in charge    of    Coach
Parker.
The men who participated in the
pre-season workout were Capt. Lod-
wyk, Ziegler and Norlock, of Cadillac; Coxe, of Traverse City;  Gogarn,
Francis,  Brown, Larzelere,  Thornthwaite, Kennedy, and Beddow, of Mt.
, Pleasant;     Burnham,   of  St.    Louis;
] Edwards,   Cameron,    and   McDonald,
of Central    Lake;  Speltz,    of Boyne
City; and Kettner, of Monroe. Coach
Parker had charge of the camp and
Chef Copier dished up the chow. The
men  are  enthusiastic  about the new
^  experiment    and    expressed    them-
IN ASSEMBLY   selves  ^ benefitting greatly, by the
vigorous  workout   directed  by  their
coach.
No let-up in training was permvfe-
