coaches are looking for a heavier man

bett will not be in condition for work this
week and a man with more weight when
hc hits the line is wanted. Leslie was used
in the place this afternoon. lie is not so
fast as rockingham. but is heavier, and
may play in the Cornell game Saturday.
The heavy rain of the afternoon made a

tice. Mckay was not out The other resu-
lar men were In their places and the signal
drin ran smoothly.

holding right guard. The Withngtons and
Fisher make Il strong centre trio, and the
coaches seem satisfied They are n little
light. but have the power Of much heavier
men.
With tho exception of Mckay, the pres
ent line has gone through the season 10
