Washburn this week has been imped-

practice any until Thursday afternoon
when Coach Weede took his men out
for a little cross country run. No
scrimmage work was INDUCED in at
that time. Last night the men were
taken out in the snow and run

work has been attempted and none
will probably be used before the game

All the men are in good shape with
the exception Of Robb. the right end

bad knee. It is thought. however,
that he will be in good shape by the
