Football Prsctics.
The receut 70 ,tball practic, dragged.
the men were sow In coming out and for
ten minutes after play had begun the
first eleven d d not score. The men
seemed to be asl ep and lost the ball on
four downs or u tumble several
times. Fifteen men played on
the second eleven aud they
made surprisingly long gains against the
first eleven. Shedd proved himself a first
rate around gamer and a plucky player.
The second eleven was not able 10 score,
however. They went through Coombs at
en;re or long gains. Coombs tackles

poor game.
Mott aud Aldr' Oh made good gains and
got through well. Jones playei . good
gam against Aldrich. Dennison al lowed
several long gains round his eud. Colby
played The game well hut did not gain
much grouud with tie ball. K nory
played at halt with Mccarthy and did
some good work at tackli.g but did not
prove much Of a ground gamer. The
feature OF the play was McCar
thy's long run aide1 by the
fine interf fence Of Donovan, Robinson
and Colby. Donovan was the only man
with any life In him aud his tack ing was
unusually fine. Towards the end Of the
practice the mea were a little more
awake, and every play resulted in long
gaits. The interference Is imT rowing
and also the iackling. Tut there 10 still

Friday afternoons Practice showed a
great improvement on any previous day.
TIE inte ference of the men was good
aud Mccarthy made several long runs
round the end .or touchdowns from tn
centre OF the field. Casey nlso made good
gain-, the men played with plenty
of suap aud lived up quickly
