The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1902-10-21

While Il Is not certain that Brown will
meet Bates tomorrow on Andrews field.
the schedule Of the Brown eleven calls
for this game and the management is
particularly desirous that the game be
played. for IL will AFFORD excellent prac-
tice In preparation for the game on Sat
urday with Harvard at Cambridge.
Brown is making ready for the battle
with the Crimson and II is fair to assume
the team will do some splendid work on
Soldiers field. That the Harvard men ex-
pect a hard. fast game. IL certain. and
further than this the Crimson Is being
put into the best possible form 10 meet
the Brown and White.
There is one thing that must be con-
sidered by the supporters OF Brown and
that is the team has already met two of
tho Big Four" and in those two games
has made Is points 10 l6 scored against
her. While II cannot be said that either
Yale or Penn were at the best when the
games were played. II Is fair TO assume
that either team was quite as far ad-
vanced aSswas Brown, and so far as form
goes all things were equal In fact the
Brown team, when II defeated Penn was
hardly as strong as when the team played.
The success In two games with Yale
and Penn has given the Brown men
good deal OF confidence and this is a
splendid thing for any team TO have.
The work against these teams stamps
Captain Barry's organization as one OF
the best the college ever turned out
and followers OF the sport believe there
will be something doing when Brown
lines up against Harvard.
Because OF the failure of the uniforms
90 reach Providence from Philadelphia
in time for practice yesterday the men
team will buckle down TO preparation for
the game on Saturday. The team may
play Bates tomorrow. but the Bates man
agement is hghting shy OF the game for
Bates is not in the best OF form and
would rather not play. The Bates game
is necessary In a certain way for the
splendid practice IL would afford. and
Manager Dodge Is doing what is possible
TO have the game played.

the team Is in hrst-class condition. This
is not an injury that will keep him from
practice for any length OF time. The
coaches, "Dan' Gammons and Fred
Murphy, two of the best men who ever
represented Brown on the gridiron, have
a good deal OF faith I'm the team, and
their efforts has resulted in the clock

The work Of the Brown ends was good
enough to call forth much praise from
the Yale men, and with Russ and
Schwinn in the line. and with Hascall,

PREPARING FOR BROWN.
Harvard started the new week with
light work on Soldiers Field. Barnard
and Marshall were the only two men to
get In the lineup from the eleven that
played against West Point Saturday. All
but Stillman reported for duty, but were
dismissed with the lightest kind OF work.
Stilman's absence was caused by an in
jury to his rib. Trainer MacMasters said
the injury was only slight and that Still
man would be in harness again in few
days.
The work yesterday was characterized
IN particular by the temperance OF
Tommy Graydon and Knowlton. Gray
don played at fullback and Knowlton
went I'm at right tackle. Cons derable
attention was given the after player by
Lewis ana waters showing tndt ne IL
still regarded as one OF the best tackle
candidates that the Crimson has this
year.
Another feature OF the day was the
playing OF Bill Burden, captain of the -
eleven. in the scrub lineup. Burden )lrv-
ed against "A. Marshall the Hg Dart
mouth guard, and gave him some valu
able pointers on the game.
Besides Burden a number of other
coaches were on the field and assisted

was Buster Burnett. the old centre, who
devoted his attention TO King
