TO gain at only one time during the whole

The presence Of Coaches Gammons and
Murphy In football togs. the former at
left half on the varsity and the latter
as full back on the college team, was the
feature OF the work done on Andrews
Field by the Brown football squad yester-
day.
The work done was brisk and thorough
and the men has some OF the best prac-
tise yet given them. Capt. Barry was on
the field I'm uniform but did not get into
the scrimmages and Hascsll was out for
the first time since the Columbia game,
but he did only the lightest work, for IL

all the rest needed.
The coaches showed the work along
and II was not allowed to lag In the
slightest. The varsity team crossed the
line OF the college three times and was
In turn scored on once. Graham and
Chase were the halves for the college
team and IL was their work that scored
on the eleven.
The varsity was practised considera-
bly, on end runs. and the result was more
than ordinary satisfactory. The interfer-

for 20 yards and a touchdown.
