I able that he will be in shape to play
Saturday. though.
Little has been done in the way OF
practice this week. Monday the men
who played against Hopkins were given
a complete rest. while only a slqrt sig
nal practice was indulged in by them
yesterday. y scrimmage Of thirty min
utes was held between the second and
third teams. The two aggregatiOns
fought harder than il the game lad been
a regular one, and but one touchdown
was made. that being the result of a
tumble which was picked up by Error,
who carried the ball over after a 30
yard sprint.
The first team backs We're given long
drill again in kicking goals after touch-
downs. that having been a weak spot
In the play OF the even so far. Nor
ris Hoffeckcr and knode were drilled
In that feature of work for about thirty
minutes.
It is more than likely that short
scrimmage will be held today, with a
hard one following tomorrow. The Farm
ers are scheduled to meet the University
of Maryland tomorrow and they are not
forgetting that the Baltimore team had a
whole lot stronger combination in the
field than they did last year.

Catholic University football squad is
working hard to make a good showing

Monday was the first time i'm week
that Bud Wymard showed up for prac-

he is being worked at tackle and is show

One of the most welcomed additions to
the squad is Mcdonald. who at the first
Of the season decided not to play foot
ball. as he did not care to take the chance
Of getting injured and spelling his base
ball career. Mcdonald is an excellent
catcher, and he is taking chance when
he plays foot ball. but after lie saw the
defeat of last Saturday no one had to
ask him to come out. Monday he asked
for "a suit, and WAS one of the first out
on the field. This surely did show the
right kind of college spirit. Last year
Mcdonald was the star of the basket

athletics. Mcdonald is halfback and
an excellent man To run back punts.

negro woman came and told him
Brown was dead.
Sheriff Norris a n d policeman
Putnam both testified that they
were in the vicinity of tire wood
yard when the killing occurred,
and both struck out in the same
direction from which the sound
came. Mr.. Norris told the Jury
that before he reached the wood

his actions suspicious he followed
him. He said the man ran through
Horne's stable and that there be
lost the trail as it was good dark.
