Port Townsend games. the visitors are ia
good spirits and expect TO acquit them

but gets out in many of the end plays.
Burnett, right guard. 10 the heaviest
man on the team. This 10 his first year on
the Varsity. having played substitute
guard for two years. His playing is hard
and conscientious. In the University of
California-Stanford game his position was
tried repeatedly by the University of Cali
fcrnias, but they found stone wall A.
many times.

but clever runner, and makes some of
the largest gains Of any of the men on tbs
team. He follows interference best Of all
the backs.
Kennedy has played full back two years.
While only fair punter. he Is . sure man
for gains in wedges.
The University team has been prac-
ticing steady for over q week and is
now in good condition for the game
Although the team work will not be what
IL would have been had IL had longer prac-
tiee. still it is the strongest team the uni
versity has ever had.
Under the coaching of Carter and Good
win, Of the athletic Climb, the team has
made good progress during the past week.
In the Tacoma University game the Uni.
7 versitys were victorious. and in the Port
Townsend game they tied the score. As
the Sianiords gained only two more points
in their game At Port Townsend than they
did ~ Tacoma. it is the general impression
among state university men that the Cali
fornians will not pile up very big score
against them.
Harrais, '96, has held the position of
center on the team two years. He has as vet
not met the man who could handle him.
Since Capt. ID. A. Ford was disabled he h as
been captain of the team and has held
that position with credit to himself ar a
