far Coach Bocock has not had oppor-

candidates for the football squad than
have them out on the field an hour or
so each day for instruction In the
rules and lectures on the principles Of
tho game. Very few OF the men re-
ported here before Monday OF this
week, and the confusion incidental to
the opening OF the college session
makes regular practice impossible
About forty-five men answered the call
for practice Thursday afternoon and
an attempt was made to get an idea
of what possibilities there are among
the new material AS to what sort OF
team v. p. L Will have this year
Bocock declines to say, as he has had
no chance to form even the vaguest
opinion.
The first game OF the season, that
with Hampden- Sidney. will be played
here tomorrow afternoon. and tho first
scrimmage will be pulled off In that
game. Enough OF the star men on last
years eleven are back in college to
insure giving the Presbyterians hard
fight, and after that game tho real
practice will begin: entrance and de-
ferred examinations for the students
being over this week and regular coll
