injured knee, and it is an even chance that he
will not be able to do anything more on the

the damage had been entirely repaired when he
went into the game with Nebraska Saturday. On
the first kickoff, and before he had time to get
into a single scrimmage, the tendon was again
torn loose. p -,

gone thru the entire game without hurting the

weather is visiting the tigers, and the result is
that the practice on the field is showing more
spirit than week ago. This has affected the
backfeld particularly. Yesterday the regular
varsity backs were laid off and Simons and
Mum played the halfback positions with Otis
at fullback. Simons started off the practice
thru the line. Captain Cooney carried the ball
more than he has in any recent practice, and he
seemed to have his old form in forging his way
thru the opposing team
While the offense showed the usual strength
the defense was again quite weak at times.
When the scrub eleven secured the ball on a
punt they managed to make their first downs
several times. The men will probably be given
hard scrimmages until Thursday, when the
