VARSITY GIVEN REST AFTER CONTACT WORK

After four days of scrimmaging Coach Dick Harlow decided to give the Varsity a rest and consequently spent most of the period yesterday in ironing out offensive play and improving assignment work. This afternoon will see a return to action, with a hard scrimmage listed on the books.

The chief feature of the practice session yesterday was the promotion of Franny Lane to the Varsity. When Lane reported for work on Monday it was expected that he would be kept on the Jayvees until he had had a chance to get into condition.

Then Bill Watt, who has been serving in the "A" and "B" backfields since the season started, was injured. The injury is apparently fairly serious, for Watt will be on the sidelines for a full week on account of it. Partly as the result of Watt's absence Harlow decided to move Lane up to the Varsity immediately.

Another factor which may have influenced Harlow's decision with regard to Lane is the temporary retirement from action of Freddy Moseley. Yesterday Moseley appeared on the field in street clothes and got no closer to service than the spectator's bench. Unlike Watt his disability is not serious and he is expected to be back either today or tomorrow.

In addition to the offensive ground work yesterday special attention was given to forward passing and to kicking.
