of discouraging work Yesterday afternoon,

Prominent undergraduates are vigorous
in their condemnation Of the work on Sol

the decentralization Of the eleven which
prevails they should be worked for every
ounce of strength in them.
The practice was entirely secret, but
absolutely nothing new was tried and no
improvement was noted in the plays al
ready familiar. The varsity scrimmaged
ten minutes with the scrubs, making a
glorious mess Of both forward pass and
on-side kick, but finally getting a touch
down by Wendell on old-fashioned foot
ball.

stopped to go through formations. In the
afternoon the men donned their suits and
went through hard practice at the
grounds of the Mount Clemens base ball
club. The men ran through a spirited
practice, putting lots of snap and dash
into the work. There was also practice
in punting and catching, and the ends
and linemen were sent down the fed

There was no scrimmaging, although
the coaches lined up the substitutes
against the varsity, and practiced break
