27 (Argus News Service) Monmouth college Fighting Scots will meet the champions of both the Midwest and Illinois conferences this season in a tough 8-game football schedule and indications are the squad will be small and light, ic-cordmg to Coach Glenn Robinson. The material available seems to point to an aggressive and speedy back field. Monmouth can expect tome scoring against it this season as graduation of eight members of last years squad and the loss of eight more men to military service leaves a small squad especially lacking in linemen. Coach Robinson can present facts and figures to make a rather sour bear story but he has the reputation of being able to overcome odds and plans to get the maximum out of the football man he will have available. Monmouth is not the- only -school to suffer losses in football material.

Monmouth will play its homecoming game with Ripon college in the Midwest league Saturday, 'Oct. 24. There will be the uaual rally in the auditorium. On homecoming there will be a parade, luncheons and other affairs. Following the game the homecoming dance will be held In the gymnasium.

Parents day has been set for Nov. 7, the Fighting Scots meeting Cornell in a Midwest conference game. The schedule: 37. Gnnnell there: Oct. 3.

Miltt-i kin here: Oct. 10. Auxustana there; Oct. 17. Lawrence there: Oct.
