of the season. Falling on the ball, tack
ling the dummy and running back kicks
was the sum. total of the practice of the
second elevens men. and they were then
lined up for a scrimmage. Franklin Field

the same team week before. G. w. U.
| foot ball stock has taken a big rise. and
! it is not secret that the local team is
expected to score in tomorrow's game

only one in which any local team will
buck up against the real thing in college
foot ball for there can be no doubt that
the Navy team this year belongs in the
| same class with the big four and the other
| first-class elevens of the country. The
