Football practice, under the new
coach, Hendrix, star back for the COL
by eleven last season, was the most
helpful and successful practice to be
held this fall. All candidates for the
team appeared on the field, numbering
about 25 in all. and Coach Hendrix had
them all busily engaged during the
two full hours of practice. The back
field which was thought to be very
weak. appeared a much stronger COM
bination than was expected and should
even up the team to fine standing.
The backfeld that worked yesterday
afternoon Consisted of Adams, last
years fullback, and Lawry, who held
down the halfback position last sea-
son, the two new men being Black
stone at left halfback and Brophy. CIV
ing the signals. This combination
worked fine together and should make
a fast backfield to help out the sea-
sons record. The line is developing
fast with heavy and fast men filling
the positions. Only a little scrimmage
was done and the second team was of
no avail in holding down the first
squad Only one more night Of prac-
tice remains before the first game on

team will be in condition to bring
home a victory from this first game
