FOOTBALL PRACTICE

The practice yesterday was principally in correcting the faults which the coaches had detected in Saturday's game. After the usual drill at sliding and tackling the dummy, the line-men were coached in breaking through, and the backs in punting. B. G. Waters '94, worked with the line-men, and made everyone charge his opponent and start with the ball. A long time was spent over this work, and considerable improvement was made.

After the elementary work, two ten-minute halves were played, the first team lining-up against the second. The old fault of fumbling again marred the work of the back field, which was also handicapped by the absence of Daly. Ragged as was the interference at times, the first scored twice in the first half, owing to line-plunges by Kendall. Parker and Kendall were both able to gain through the second's line, but as both are running very high, they would be of little use against a strong line.

The real feature of the play in the second half, was Gierasch's running. Besides some clever work behind his interference, he scored a touchdown after catching a punt on the forty-five yard line. Ellis, whose weight and quickness have always made him a possible candidate for the line, was tried at tackle on the second. Waters and Donald spent a great deal of time coaching him, and when he learns how to apply his strength he will make a valuable man.

Reid spent most of the afternoon with his squad of baseball candidates; but late in the afternoon joined in the football practice. The punting department of the team is not nearly up to last year's standard, and consequently needs lots of attention.

The line-up was as follows: First.  Second. Ristine, l.e.  r.e., Goodell. Swain, l.t.  r.t., Ellis, Grew Boal, l.g.  r.g., Lee. Sargent, c.  c., Lyman. Burden, r.g.  l.g., Barnard. J. Lawrence, r.t.  l.t., Nickerson. Lewis, r.t.  l.t., Spratt. Hallowell, Cooper, r.e.  l.e., L. Motley. Fincke, q.b.  q.b., E. Motley. Parker, Gierasch, l.h.  r.h., Scott. Kendall, r.h.  l.h., Noyes. Sawin, Reid, f.b.  f.b., Jaynes.
