work seemed to call out all of the pent
up enthusiasm and after the after
Moons tryout the men went into the
training quarters whooping 1t up Tor

room and appeared in a few minutes IN

welcome. Percy Brush whose yeoman
work at tackle for the past two years
was among the first to arrive. Brush is
thru with playing, but he came out to
'help the gang and was soon behind
one of the squads in the first work OF
the year.
Dr.. Williams, when he came on the
field at 4 CLOCK, found about thirty
candidates in full regalia. He picked
out the members of last years teams
and took them under his care, turning
over the freshman candidates to Percy
Brush. DR.. Williams gave his squad a
long talk on the new football, and they
listened to him with marked attention.
After that he gave them few rudl-
