When Coach Fisher's reorganized Crimson eleven meets Indiana today at 3 o'clock in the Stadium, it will meet a real test, a test, however, that will be very much different from that which the University bucked up against last fall when it played Valparaiso, the western invader of 1920. Valparaiso was a "mystery" team about which the Crimson strategists knew comparatively little. Indiana is not. And unless Coach Steihm has pulled the wool completely over the eyes of this year's gridiron followers, his team this afternoon will display a conservative brand of football with trick plays...
...notedly aggressive on both the attack and defence. They will also have a slight advantage over the University line in that they have played together in two games already this season with practically no shifts. On the other hand, beyond a few scrimmages with the seconds this week, Coach Fisher's new line has never worked out as a unit...

Hence it can be readily seen that Coach Fisher's renovation has been far-reaching...
...yesterday's pre-game signal practice and dummy scrimmage Coach Fisher sent Fitts back from end to halfback. On account of his recent injury Gehrke's physical condition does not make it certain that he will be able to play through the entire contest this afternoon. If needed, Fitts will be available to take his place in the backfield. He has still much to learn at his new end position and Coach Fisher will probably not risk putting him in at wing today...
...Coach Fisher believes that the Crimson defense tomorrow will show great improvement from last Saturday. Although Captain Kane lacks the ruggedness that is generally associated with University tacklers, he handles himself better and shows more headwork than the majority of the players one the Crimson squad. He played tackle two years ago for Coach Fisher and therefore will not start tomorrow's game as a novice in his position. Tierney's agility and general build class him more as a tackle than a center. These two men are expected to provide tomorrow the strength and aggressiveness which the university line...
