BROWN DOINGS.
Football Men Need More Prac-
llce- Among Musical Clubs.

The practice yesterday afternoon was
on the Andrews field. Fewer men than
usual showed up, so that IL was barely
possible to scrape together two elevens.
Coach Robinson put the squad through
the usual preliminary work Finally the
men lined up as follows: Cam and ABB
bott, ends: Hatch and Webb. tackles;
Johnson and Dwire. guards; Coulter. GEN.
tire: Scudder. quarter. Dennico and Tar
bell: Bates. fullback
The varsity were kept on the defence
most or the time, so very little scoring
was done. Webb. however, crossed the
line once for touchdown. The second
eleven made many good gains when they
were given the ball. This caused the
coaches to give special attention to the
linemen. since that portion OF the eleven
must be greatly strengthened In order 10
prevent Boston college from scoring at
will.
In = talk with some OF the fellows
coach Robinson seemed fairly well satis-
ned with the effort of the candidates. but
criticized 10 some extent the attitude of
the institution which Is supposed TO stand
behind the team.
The mandolin and banjo clubs have
been reorganized. There were eight or
the members of last years clubs present
at the meeting. This year IL is proposed
10 form larger clubs than previously and
use them at all the concerts which do
not entail much expense In getting the
men there. On long trips, however. II
Will be necessary TO cut down the num-
bers. This scheme, well as the prom
ise of trip to Carolina and Georgia. dur

out large number OF good musicians.
