The Stanford football squad prac-
ticed on a sawdust field yesterday aft
ernoon, instead of on the turf field, as
heretofore this season. The situation
since Kern broke his leg Saturday re-
mains unchanged, and the radical
changes which were expected have not
occurred 1t was thought that Sundell
would be transferred from wing for
ward to Kern's place at wing and
Woodcock would replace the former at
wing forward. But. the lineup of the
first team was just as it was in the
Olympic club game after Kern's acci-
dent, with Thoburn occupying the wins g
position. Thoburns substitute is Wors-
wick, who has been playing half fer the
second fifteen.
Thes practice yesterday consisted of
tackling- the dummy, picking the ball
UP from the ground and passing. Coach
Presley took the forwards in hand and
had them wheeling the serum, dribbling
and passing.
The whole team was brought to-
gether in a lineout formation, the BAH
was thrown in to the forwards and the
whole team engaged in passing rush.
This was alternated with a serum
against the second fifteen.
Brown was given several opportuni-
ties to try dropkicks, receiving the ball
in a long pass from the half.
Browns drop kicking is bound to be
a big feature in the contest Saturday,
as will Dole's terrific plunges in the
lineoutS.
