PORTSMOUTH, O., Aug. 23- Talk of the Portsmouth Spartan's "next season's" prospects in the National Professional Football Association has changed to "this season's" outlook with the arrival of George "Potsy" Clark, on whose shoulders rests the hope of local fandom for an upper berth's in the league's won and loss column.

Newcomers this season will include Glenn Presnell, formerly of the Tanks, an All-American half-back from Nebraska; Elmer Schwartz, last year's fullback and captain of Washington State College, Pacific Coast Champions; "Tony" Holm, 1929 All-American fullback of the University of Alabama; "Dutch" Clark, quarterback, second All-American team choice from Colorado College and Dexter Shelley, captain of Texas in 1930, who was picked on several All-American teams.
