BROWN UNIVERSITY.

| Yesterday afternoon large number o.

on Lincoln Field. There were nearly 81
men out to practice. The practice was
SHARP, throughout, although some of the
men do not understand their place in ali
the plays Inc signals were gwen to the
men this morning, and the play was very
good considering that it was the first aay
with the signals. The backs were given
special practice this afternoon before the
regular practice. r. 4. Barket, '99, and
q. a. Matteson, 'e6, were tried at quarter
back; Z. ". shead,. 'e7, B. s. Watson,
97, W. Lauder, '9S, J. T. Casey 's9, and
Murphy, '99 were tried at balf,back. G.
Mccarthy, 96, and j. Z. Chase, '99, were
tried at full-back.
In the regular practice, captain Mott
picked out two temporary elevens. They
each practiced awhile on separate parts OF
the Held, to make sure of their signals

eleven consisted Of the following men |:

day seemed to give quite general satisfac.
ton. Lauder ran very speedily with the
ball, although he was inclined TO run
back little. Barker, '99, tackled well.
j. u Chase, '99, wrenched his leg In the
early part.of the afternoon, but il did not
prevent him from breaking the interfer.

who could not go have had to look about

and daughters either took clothing 10
