many a season. but they are small
There are a few husky men here, but

Captain Waugh, and Copley are the
only two line men that have reported
yet. Woodhouse. one of the best men
of last year. is on the campus, hut
undecided whether ne can come back
or not. The practice this evening
was better than heretofore. for the
men are beginning to learn the sig
nails. There are three squads going
all the time and Coach Reiss is watch
