things doing In to-days practice OF the Har-
ward varsity football eleven on Soldiers
Field. The men had their first drill In block
Ing and breaking through. and several changes
were made in the makeup OF the first

substitute full back. He weighs 200 pounds
now and is bit too heavy for back Of the line.
