of it's being continued, or even bettered, before the end of the week.
 Several of the much-needed old-tlme football men, who have won fame on the gridiron, were present. Among them were Pop Corbin S9, who de- voted his time to the center trio: Pro- lessor Corwin of the Sheffield Scientific school, and brother of Half-Back Cor win Laurie Bliss '98, who gave the ends some very valuable pointers, and John Hall, who Is at present engaged Tn coaching the Carlisle Indians. He was we'll satisfied with the showing made by the Indians in the game with liar ward on Saturday and concluded that one days rest would be a benefit. He accordingly remained in this city over Sunday night. He also assisted in the work of coaching the end men, Most of the practice was devoted to training the ends, and, in fact, the whole line, in the art of getting down the field on a kick. Mcbride did the bunting and he made some unusually long punts. The regular university men were practiced at this for about a half hour and then two teams lined up. The only men who played yesterday that also participated in Saturdays game were Coy and Hub bel. The line and the backs were made up of promising substitutes. The unl- Versity lineup was as follows: Hall and Tomlinson, center; Grant and Young, guards; HiXon and Cook, tackles; Coy and Hubbell, ends; Win ter, quarter; Corwin, Burdic6, Wear and Durston, halves; Dashiel, full-back. During the first part of the season Dur ston was played at back, but it was thought he would make a much more valuable line man and was consequent ly tried at tackle until he was taken sick and obliged to quit playing for several weeks. On his return to the squad he was again tried at tackle. His being played at half-back yester- day was a big surprise to many, but they are much gratified at the change. Durston Is not only a fast runner but a terrific line bucker and and because of his weight would make an excellent bucking half, and with one of the fast CT and lighter men as a running half it would be unusually hard work to find two men to equal them in ground gain ing He weighs about 175 pounds.
 Charley de Saulles, the clever little quarterback, was out to the field for the first time since his recent injury He walked without crutches. This is very gratifying to the supporters of the eleven as de Saules is far and away ahead of the other men trying for the same position. He may be able to re. sume practice by the middle of the week
 The scrubs had the better of the prac- tice most of the time yesterday, anC they came previously near scoring
 twice. Each time when near the goa line the ball was passed to Sullivan fol a try at goal from the field. He kicked one and failed one. During the lattel part of the practice the university tean
 succeeded in working the ball down tt the twenty ive-yard line. Sullivan thi i time tried a goal from the field, bu 1 failed.
 1 None of the men who played in Sat | urday's game was badly injured anC i they will in all probability begin worl
 in earnest to-day in preparation for tn ! three important contests which occu
 on the three succeeding Saturdays. l Boal, the big guard of the HarvarC 1 eleven, was an interested spectator a | the practice yesterday afternoon. H
 the team, but was disappointed becaus
 of the fact that the regular men did no
 practice as a team.
