There were dOingS Of a bustling nature
on Northrop field Yesterday afternoon,
ana Il any member OF the varsity squad
loafed in Wednesdays game he more
than uzGe ND for it. Since the opening
OF tie season the kickeTs nave enjoyed
Testlu- day succeeding the practice
games but yesterday was the big start
ling exception and the varsity mixed for
over an hour with the heavy weights vino
compose the second team Dr. Williams
made frequent shifts in the varsity line
and back field so that no player knows
what is coming and must therefore CO
his best 10 be sure OF what he has.
Without any desire 70 detracI from the
fine showing made by the Saints. II must
ice admitted that several Of the varsity
men displayed disposition to take mat
tiers easy ana this Is evidently one of the
things the coach does not enjoy His
feelings on the subject were made mani
fest yesterday when he kept the varsity
nammeliES away until darkness came 10
their rescue
The shifting about OF the varsity men
gave lte second team chances they were
not slow To take advantage OF and they
fought stubbornly al the time. They
Held me varsity IoT downs occasionally
but W-.re unable to make much brilliant
progress Ascher and Vita on the second
team did some things 10 the varsity line.
DE-. Williams, Bert Page. Webster and
Harding followed in the wake OF the
varsity and gave individual instruction IN
the details Of the game when needed, and
they AeLt them eVeTiaStingly at it The
practice was hard and fast and fumbling
which Of late has become predominant
feature y as infTeqUenI. It is being i'm
pressed upon the players that letting go
OF the tali Is one OF the most costly mis-
I1sses t-laf can be made a football
fie'd and each tumble now brings down
severe reTI imands upon the head OF the
Tbe University Of North Dakota somes
L NC@tirop field tomorrow, and comes
With g higher ambition than any team
Lat mas heretofore met the u squad.
Coach keEuedy'S men long TO score on
TIE rig Minnesota team, and securing
tnis. WtLiC go back TO the wheat belt as
cunGuefl.g heroes. The advance InfOf-
ulatio. from Grand Forks is that the
team laS been doing well all fan and play
ing 81 eedy and determined football This
= IS PalDi FeEnedyS second year with tie
team and he is confident that they vii
make a. pCOd showing. Kennedy was 4
GeaI Oh arteTback for Stage in 1898 and
1880 ara knows the game OF football
JiiClDus lily. Last year ne turned out d
team that had little difficulty in captur-
ing The championship OF the two Dakotas
and only allowed II points TO be scored
against their 29C.
There are some good heavy men on the
team recruited from community where
large men aEcunG and acquire large mus
CleS and many Of last years players are
bat K 30 thar kennedyis hope of getting
c Touchdown may not be too visionary.
The varsity will probably be obliged to
play faster and better bail than they did
against the Saints ana IN ali probability
they viii do so. Alid-Week games do not
impress the average football player as
being q necessity. rather an evil to be
borne with and most of them are not in
Cliued tC work their heads of when
TTGctiCiug against some light college.
Another point is that with North Da
6Gra the season proper begins and each
succeeding game becomes gradually more
serious with Ames and GTinneI ana then
Nebraska Any falling on in form OF the
individual in the meantime viii be viewed
with proportional seriousness, so that it
must needs be business from now on
Tomorrow game viii be called at 3
