WORK IS
NOT SATISFACTORY
Sweeping Changes in Line-Up
Likely Unless Players
Take a Brace. !:

cially in the game with Gallaudet at
Kendall Green yesterday afternoon, has
proved source of discoura cement to
Coach Thomas. and sweeping changes
In the lineup are expected unless GER

another touchdown seemed the inevi-
braced. and. aided by the break i'm luck
experienced by the collegians. managed
to stave off more decisive defeat.
