There were three 2O0-pounders in the line

a line for years. Collins is substituting for
Dalton I'm the backfed, but when Dalton

the second varsity eleven was put through
a stiff scrimmage with the freshman team,
and the youngsters came out on top by the
score OF II TO 6. The work of the second

that Of the freshmen a surprise. The var

but was put through long signal drill and
the backs were coached in handling punts.
The lineup was the same as that used in
the game on Wednesday, except that
Pishon and Lowell were used at quarter
instead of Llewellyn, who will be out Of
the game for a few days with lame leg.

work behind closed gates, Smith, the coach'
said that il had been made necessary by
the rather poor showing Of the team
against Gettysburg and Franklin ana Mar

with Ursinus on Saturday.
There was very little done at the secret
practice that the coaches could have wished
to conceal Thayer. who seems to nave
returned TO the form expected OF MN
earlier in the season, played in the back
field and acquitted himself well. His great
weakness has been in the handling OF

practice in the Stadium this afternoon was
the most encouraging Of the season. There
was no scoring on straight forward play

lars another strenuous session.
Bob Potter however, ran seventy-fve
yards for a touchdown after catching "A
punt breaking a splendid path through
broken field and later Captain Fisher, OBJ
tanning the ball on a tumble, ran eighty
Yards for another touchdown. What pleased
the coaches most to-day was the improve
mont shown in the play of Rogers, who is
now at left tackle. where he will play
against Holy Cross Dana. the new end
lust brought up from the second team TO
the varsity also did some brilliant work.

The defence has improved under pressure,
and the 'varsity's own plays have TO go
off smoothly in order TO make headway

some clever kicking to-day. placing the

Hendrickson, whose line plunging in yes

trial on the varsity again this afternoon.

husky, and a hard man to tackle, but he
doesn't hit the line with the speed and

lawful use Of money officially had been
made I'm connection with campaign eN-
penses the presumption was that the money

count was forthcoming, and the burden OF
proof was on the accused.

whether a campaign manager could be held
guilty if he were unable to say in detall
what was done with money given to others

Wanted to Win Nomination, Not Buy It.

1t was testified by r. \. Edmonds, Mr..
Stephenson's campaign manager, that the
Senator usually issued checks for more
money when told OF the activities Of his
opponents. "IIe sometimes was provoked
that so much money was being spent, and
after prefacing his remarks with his own
characteristic language he would say !
want to win the nomination. but ! don't
want to buy IT. Then he would supply
whatever funds were needed" testified
Edmonds.
I'm a report made by previous leGisla-
tive investigating committee the statement
is made that 10000 was spent for cigars
and beer DO YOU know II that item Is cor
rect?" asked Senator George Sutherland.

voters being in prohibition territory.
Much of the questioning Of EdmOnds was
devoted to the original charges made by

Stephenson's election was due to bribery
and corruption. The charges, as investi-
gated by the wisconsin Legislature and pre-
sented TO the United States Senate, were
read over in detail TO Edmonds. lie al
mitted that many sums of money named In
the charges had been paid, but he denied
the truth Of the phrase, used corruptly
and I'm violation of the law as included IN
each charge. lie denied that the fund was
used to purchase corruptly editorial sup
port i'm various Wisconsin newspapers or
that money had been paid to any one except
for legitimate campaign purposes The
charges also mentioned that approximately
$4,000 had been spent I'm the nomination OF
Mr.. Stephenson. Edmonds declared the
