EAST HIGH TEAM
SHOWED SPEED
Coaches Put Junior Players Thru
a Stiff Workout Yes
terday.
BY Gil.

There was Joy in the camp of the University
| avenue rooters yesterday afternoon. After weeks
| of hard luck. the tide turned at last, and where
the day before depression and foreboding
reigned, activity and confidence held sway.
Morris sherbloom was out in suit and ran
thru signals with the team. Crambrook, who
has been playing in his place at right tackle,
was back at center. The central five of the
| line averaged 100 pounds better.
| Cheered by this addition to their forces. the
crimson warriors went thru the finest prac-
| clockwork. Each play followed close upon Its
predecessor. After charging the wind up and
| down the field at pace which left trail of
breathless spectators painting behind them, the
first team started to do things to the scrubs.
| The second team put up a game resistance,
but could not hold the concerted impact Of the
regulars. At the beginning of the scrimmags
| Wyman used his heavy backs and tore up the
reserve line. Then he put In his pony trio
and sent them dashing around the ends for long
gains. ss
Scrubs Worked Hard
The only d1scouraging feature of the practice
| came when the second team was given the ball.
They went in hard to avenge the drubbing they
had received at the hands of the regulars, and
line of defense which earlier in the season
looked inyincible proved valueless. The long
series Of injuries and assertions which have
| Slapped the strength of the University avenue
team since the opening Of the season have been
most keenly felt in the backfeld, and the make
shift trio behind the first line failed to back
up the fOrWardS
The Central game is the only topic Of dis
cusson among the crimson rooters, and there Is
a general air Of confidence and hopefulness. Man.
ager Turnstrnnd said: Our team has been ter
ribly broken up by injuries, but it now is
stronger than when 1t played Carleton, and when
I think Of the game that patched-up bunch of
cripples we sent to Northtield played against
that heavy team can't help but feel encour-
aged. Central will have to play as good a
, game as Carleton to beat us, and they will have
to hurry some to 90 that
Central at Work.
At the Central camp the same feverish activity
marked the practice. The strong talk which
