| place him on Saturday The practice this
afternoon was spirited as 1t has
been all week. There seemed little

| whole second eleven. while the latter did his
usually steady work and made long run also
| for touchdown. Once Hawkins. the Scrub
end. got the ball on tumble and cleared the
whole Varsity team. but Ellis. by some mag
| nifcent sprinting. overlook him on the twenty
| yard line. Ellis is getting plenty Of play these
| days and 1t is Just what he needs to make him
