from the fimsy affair which the teams
PLAYED earlier in the season had To contend
with
The practice this afternoon was devoted
chiefly 10 defensive work for the varsity
and long drill In getting away punts from
scrimmage formation. The fact that the
Tigers were almost scored on for the sec
ond time this year last Saturday, when
Colgate blocked one Of De Wits punts and
came within six yards of scoring. caused
the coaches to pay special attention to this
department Of the game this afternoon.
De Witt got his punts of for uniformly
long distances. some Of them measuring as
much as ifty-fivc yards. but he failed to get
them away with any degree Of rapidity and
had several narrow escapes from having
them blocked.
Vaughan showed some speed and lots of
strength at end but he had bad tendency
to overrun his man. with the result
that he missed lots Of comparatively easy
tackles. Careful coaching should eradicate
this fault IN time, however and he is count
ed on to make a splendid showing In the
later games OF the year.
