into two squads, the hFst known as the
varsity and the second as the reserve
SGiiad. The varsity numbers about 10 or
eighteen men, and the reserve ineinde
the others. While the squads are
working separately, the one under,
Coach Edmunds and the other under
Coach Thomas, frequent shifts are be-
ing made from one team to the other.
Any man who shows up unusually well
on the reserves gets chance to show
his mettle on the dEst team, while the
man who faf!s to get snap and ginger
into his work soon has opportunity to
take life easier with the second-team

lusty disposition. The class rush

yet, but will come in the near future.
It is a matter OF much satisfaction
that the rowdyfsm which in some in-
stitutions has been incident to the
