a determined effort has been made
this week to get the team into first
class shape in anticipation Of Il hard
struggle with the heavy Sewanee ag-
gregation. The poor showing made
last Saturday against North Carolina
was q disappointment to the coaches.
On Monday hurry cali was sent to
Norfolk for Branch Johnson, brother of
Head Coach Hammond Johnson, and an
old university gridiron star. to help
coach the line for the battle with Se-
vance. AS result OF this step, the
scrimma ging this week has been un-
usually hard. Each nfteraoon the
scrub was strengthened by the three
Johnson and Merritt T. Cooke. Jr.--
and the varsity has had all the oppose
ton II was looking for.
Scrubs Play Hard Gume.
AT the final practice yesterday after
noon the score between the varsity
and the scrub resulted in tie. The
| touchdown made by the regulars was
due to fumbled punt, while that for
| the scrub was made by Hammond
Johnson. who received the ball on the
I Kickoff and ran across the varsity
goal line. The scrimmage. which was
quite fierce. lasted twenty minutes.
