ing Teams.
At 2:45 p. NJ. the teams came out on the
field and practiced for little while. All
along the enthusiasts had been in hopes
that when the teams came out for play
Hunt and Clemans would be found run
ming side by side. They were doomed to
disappointment, however, as DR.. Woods re-
fused to play In the game If Hunt WAS
opposed to him. IT was too bad, as the
combined play of the two halfbacks would
have been great drawing card and would
have helped the financial side.
To show how training aids in football 1t
Is only necessary to compare yesterdays
game with any of the big match games of
the season. In only the first Berkeley
olympic game was man forced TO leave
the field, and that was because neither team
had had sufficient training. Compare this
with yesterdays game, where three men
had to leave the field, and the only infer
enre that can be drawn is that training in u
great measure prevents accidents. The
three players, L. Downing, DR.. Wilcox and
Brewer, were not seriously hurt. only gem
orally broken ND. and their places we're
ably filed by Mckay, FELTON, Taylor and
Percy Morse.
The assistance Of the latter two greatly
aided each team, Tay lor by his fine half
back work and Morse by his tackling.
