More interest has been taken in
football this year than for many years
Enough fellows have gotten out fol-
practice this year to more than make
up two teams. There are five mer
left fran last years first team ano
| four from the second, and there viii
be two or three new men. Coach
Schnelley says that if the back tielC
comes up to his expectations we viii
| have an inyincible team. The team
| is heavier and has had more exper
fence than the last years team, anC
| last year we lost but one game, alC
that to Grand Rapids by close score
| A football apparatus known as a tack
ling dummy, has been rugged up. By
means of this Mr.. Schnelley hopes tc
remedy a fault of last year, that OF
| tackling too high. The fellows are
having lot of fun out of this and
| there have been few tackles made
| which would do credit to Yale-Har-
ward game. The beginning work
which has been going on the past
week, that of falling-on, passing and
kicking the ball and elementary run
ming plays, will continue until the
last of the week, when the scrimmages
will begin.
