came in for hard lot Of work at the
hands of the coaches. Newhall. the quar-
terback of last year, has reported to Head
Coach Haughton, and drilled Cutler in
in the back field. The whole team re-
ported for work and Capt. Burr watched
the signal drill from the side lines. The

the prospects for his taking his place in
the line next week looks good. Perkins

was taken to the varsity squad and new
formations were tried out.
The drill was for defense formation and
the special attention of the coaches was
given to the secondary line defense There

punts and everything was done to make
the men cover more ground. The line
went into the work with dash and life

fullback. and Dunlap continued in Capt
Burr's place at left guard. 1t looks now
as if G.. Brown and Crowley will be the
regular ends for the Crimson.
