Capt. Daley Is Out.

Yesterday afternoon Coach Nielsen de-
voted the entire workout of the Hilltop
warriors to scrimmage practice between
the former again demonstrated the speed
at which they are rounding into shape
The first-string men kicked off to Assist
ant Coach Garsans second team, but
the latter soon lost the ball, as they
failed to make their distance. Following
this the first-string men ran the ball up
to within a few yards of their opponents
goal line, but experienced a hard fight
before they got the pigskin over the line
for a touchdown. The ball was again
brought to the center and this time the
varsity received the kick and lost no
time in making the second tally Of the
afternoon. as Campazzi gave a beautiful
exhibition of broken field running, ad-
vancing the ball for nearly the entire
length of the field. After this last touch
down the leather seesawed up and down
the field and the scrub team took a de-
cided brace. but nevertheless nearly all
the play was In the territory of the sec
ond-string men. 1t was at this period of
the game that Harry Costello booted a
beautiful drop kick from a very difficult
angle of the field. Costello got the kick
off in good time and it passed through
the middle of the bars with a good mar
gin. The tackling was hard and low and
the men seem to have mastered this
point of the game in good shape, as 1t
was mainly on account Of the hard work
in this department. together with the
breaking up of interference. that the
scrub backs were unable to gain on the
varsity.
Capt. Dap Daley did not report for
work yesterday on account OF sickness.
Daley is suffering from a bad cold and
may not be around before the end of the
week
