ice for the men TO play against the SCRUB

tween the varsity and the scrub under
Foster Sanford. 40 attempt was made TO
score. the purpose Of the scrimmage being

through. The practice was most benehclai
in that respect Il was discovered that
much of the fault lay with the backs, who
were being caught because Of their own
slowness Tho Interference was also given
considerable attention and several Of the
men were roundly criticised for not actual
y putting their men out Of the play. Tow
ard the end of the play there was a no
1iceable improvement and the formations
worked much more successfully. The line
up in to-day's practice work was Francis
left end. Scully. left tackle. Cooney, loft
guard; Marting. centre; ST. Germaine, right
guard. Paul, right tackle. Avery right end;
Merritt. quarterback; Reilly left halfback;
Camp. risht halfback and Andersen. full

Sheldon. and the later pair are steadily
improving Both have the unusual advan-
taee OF being physically sound at present.
