Ends in Plays.

Indictment weather again forced
Coach Harper and his charges to take
refuge In the big gJ mnasium yester-
cay. A fierce rain put practice on
Cartier field out OF question and
for two hours the varsity squad work
ed out indoors Despite the fact that
the floor Of the gymnasium is com
posed OF hard clay, the first and sec
ond team lines were put through thir-
y minutes of stiff scrimmage.
Captain ROckne was kept out of the
fracas yesterday, Edward taking his
place at left end. Rock" assisted the
coaches in showing the wing men the
line points OF offensive and defensive
work at the ends. The gold and blue
captain has not fully recovered from
the injury he received in the first
game Of the season and Will be ex-
cused from all heavy work till such
time as he feels in perfect condition.
He is one of the most valuable de-
fenSive players in the Notre Dame line
up and If he IS in trim for the Army
game, the coaches viii be we'll salts

Mills was shifted from end TO guard
yesterday. With the advent of Gus
hurst as varsity end the supply Of
material for the wing positions ex-
ceeded the demand and owing TO Mills

well in the scrimmage yesterday and
his addition TO the number of guard
candidates should make keener the
competition for left guard on the first
team.

line scrimmage the varsity ran sig
nails for over an hour in order to per-
feet the new plays TO be used against
West Point.
Disagreeable weather for the past
three days has greatly hampered the
work of the gold and blue coaches
and Harper has been unable to carry
out the program of hard practice
which he had mapped out for the two
weeks preceding the Army contest

effort TO whip a crippled team into
shape for the coming contests with
Harvard, Notre Dame and Pennsyl-
vania. Head Coach Hollenback has

led HOllenback TO make radical chang
es his lineup.
Captain Shorty" Miller has been
replaced by James at Quarterback and
Bergman has been shifted from half
back TO end. The end positions are
the big trouble at State college. and
on Monday, one OF the regulars
