The showing made by the Brown team
in practice yesterday was not quite as en-
couraging as has been that of the past
three days. There was more fumblng
yesterday than I'm the three preceding
days combined and the men on both
elevens. with but very few exceptions,
seemed "dopey' and did not appear TO
care very much whether or not they
played football at all
Several OF the second eleven men failed
10 put In an appearance and the result
was that number of green men were
lined up against the varsity. The nrst
team, Also was handicapped TO some ex-
tent by the absence OF Bates and capt.
Washburn. The latter hurt his knee In
practice last Wednesday. and, although IL
did not seem 10 be anything very serious
at the time. 1t was painful enough to keep
him out Of the game yesterday, and IL Is
very probable that he will be unable TO
go in against Holy Cross tomorrow.
The practice game yesterday started
with all the heavy line men and the
backs at one end OF the field In the CEN
ter stood Kimball, kicking the bah down
20 them Coach Robinson had three or
four sets OF ends. taking turns at running
down under these punts. and trying 10
get the man with the ball. Here Is where
the first defect was noticeable. So istless
and slow were the men In tOfmlns tie IN
terference that. four times out or nve,
two ends would come down the field, get
by eight men-who ought to have formed
an irresistible interference-and down
the man with the ball The great trouble
was no one seemed TO care whether they
played football or cross-tag
Next Coach Robinson lined up the two
elevens for signal practice. and here
again the play lacked the snap ana dash
of Wednesday. About every other signal
that was given ended in a tumble. and
the slowness OF the men In getting into
their positions and ready TO start was
very discouraging Finally the two teams
lined up for the kickoff. Newton OF the
second eleven sent the ball down To
Parry. who brought II back fifteen yards
before he was downed. During all the
rest of the practice the ball was In tfe
hands OF the varsity the most or the
time.
They went through the weakened Sec
ond team almost al will and scored touch
down after touchdown. They might have
done even better had they put more HE
into their work. and allowed less yum
bling. Perhaps the presence OF Capt
Washburn and Bates would have, In
measure. remedied these evils. Libe GER
tainly puts life into the rest or them
when he Is I'm the game, and his mere
presence seems to mean about nifty per
cent. better work from his team.
The varsity lined up yesterday as FOL
