good feeling between the athletes The
Lick boys use the Wilmerding cinder
path and the Wilmerding students do
as they please on the Lick grounds.
Rivalry, however, is gradually making
a difference. and the students are be-
coming more and more distant"
Wilmerding has much the lighter
team. Their strong point is team work
and punting, and If they make any kind
of q showing it will be due to their
skill at these features of the game
When Bell, fullback. Rodgers and
Johnston, halfbacks, of the Lick team
get started, however. there is no tell
ing what will happen. Open play is not
employed altogether by Lick. Line
plunging has proven more successful
than end runs, which speaks well for
the back field. considering the ten-yard
rule is in vogue
LACK OF PRACTICE.
If it were not for the fact that
Wilmerding has done so well this sea
son, one would instantly pick the Lick
team to win. Lack Of practice games,
however, has seriously hampered the
development of team work, which
means so much to an aggregation of
footballists.
Lick certainly has ''stonewallp line.
