a cold drizzling rain to-day, which me-
cessitated a shift Of scene from the old
University Field to he baseball cage.
while the squad was out in the OPEN
signal practice n drill in formations
together with some kicking occupied the
attention OF the squad. IT. the baseball
cage the scrubs took some alleged Har-
ward plays and used then In dummy
scrimmage against the varsity. The reg
ulars were instructed as to what man

permitted. All the regulars were out
for practice to-day and It Is due TO this
fact that there was less gloom than
usual AS there was no scrlmmage, no
comparison can be made with the teams
showing yesterday.
Two men are still uncertain OF their
positions. Brown and Halsey. Lander
ton Is hot on Browns trail at right end
and Is almost sure to start against Har-
ward. II is almost a toss up between
Halsey and rarise,te for right tackle.

merit seems TO be the choice for centre
