Annapolis in Last Full

the Scrubs.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Nov 2O.-What
was probably the last Of the hard
line-ups against the scrubs for the
season was held yesterday afternoon
by the Naval Academy eleven.
Today there will be signal practice
and preliminaries only, and next week
such care viii be taken with the
team in order TO prevent injuries To
the players, that il is not likely the
coaches Will let the varsity go Tar
against the second eleven.
The practice was mainly on defen-
s!ve work, and time and again the
scrub was given the ball on the reEu-
lars 5-yard line and made every effort
TO drive some OF its straight plays a
yard or two into the line of the regu-
lars. SO strongly did the veteran
linemen hold, however, that scarcely
were the scrub backs able to reach
the line. All of the linemen charged
promptly and strongly, and the backs
of the second team could approach
nothing, though the scrub line was
probably heavier than that of the first
team,
