Carney Will Coach Wings

The ends will again be under the instruction of C. R. Carney, one of the greatest ends ever turned out in the Big Ten Conference, who was an All-American choice while playing his last year: at the punts rapidly, and often cutting in behind the line to throw the runner for a loss.

J. L. Brader, of Wisconsin, will take a coaching position in the West. Under his tutelage the Crimson forward wall showed a punch and aggressiveness that marked it as one of the best in the East last season.
