When the frst-team line began to hold tie
charges of the second-team backs, the frt
and second teams exchanged backfelds and til
first line had to receive the plunges of DcB
inson and Stair.
Under this gruelling treatment and in re

alumni assistants. the line began to wake vi
and get the charge on their opponents. 1t il

the with the ball by bucking instead Of

fast tactics necessary to hold his heavier op-
ponent.
The ends, Brezky and Saxon did not get as
much pounding the other men in the line, as

the plays the university is expected to make.

and after some coaching did some good work
stopping halfback plays behind the line.
Work for Backs.

so frequently that it impossible to get much
of a line on the men. 1t seemed to be the
policy of Coach Morse to throw continuous
stream Of fresh players against the frst-team
| line to prepare them for the vigorous attack TO
| be expected from the varsity backs. As soon

of weakness or received the most trihing injury

| Finally the frst-team backs brought around
