men and will be played at quarter back
and On an end at times in the games. At
the last moment Weaver who was going
to play left half-baek. and Meigs, who was
slated for an end position, reported their
inability to take the trip, owing to the
stress of business, and Capt. Lewis was
forced to make other selections.
The last practice of the men showed a
vast Improvement over their slow work
cI last week and augurs well for their
success. Harlan Is a strong, steady man
at center and holds his ground well. Kelly

chance to show their skill or perfect their
shortcomings in opening up holes in the
line and using their interference to the
best advantage both in center and round
the the-end' plays; They are also lacking in
kicks down the field and getting up under
kick-offs. II
Notwithstanding fhfs- lack of sufficient
framing, all the men are excellent selec-
