Secret Practice
7, tbere was any doubt as 20 Folwelis
ability to frame trick plays, II has been
sispeiled during the present week. We
w.r, compelled to hold two secret practices,
.,thoush one could hardly term yester-
xsv,, practice at Wayne secret, in order to
~ out the trick plays. on which we have
s.sn instructed in the skull" practice
~ few weeks. and the way the plays
work out was pleasing to every man In the
squad.
.,rf thst is Just as likely to prove a boom
sr.ns as n success, and his trick plays are
S.sed on common sense and simplicity. He
Sspends more upon his formations and the
smocth manner in which the plays are
puled than the complete battling of the
Imposing teams, and none OF the plays is
rsactionary. as we have a defense to stop
an opposing player who may happen to
break them UP.
In Good Shape
Every man in the squad Is in splendid
condition with the possible exceptions of
Howard Berry and myself, and we both
feel At II is hard to tell until we have
been In actual combat whether Howard's
bad knee or my injured side Is well enough
10 stand the gaff. but we are not worrying
any will start the game, but Berry will
bs on the side lines for a time at least.
Is Folwell does not want TO break up a
smooth running combination in the back
field
Light Derr, Williams and Bryant worked
together splendidly against Lafayette, and
they should be even better against Dart
mouth Bryant has more confidence and
has been running his plays off in great style
h practice. while Light now feels at home
nfuback. with the advantage of an extra
week Of practice, there should be better
tsam-work in the backfeld, while the re-
serve strength, with Berry, Quigley and Bell
ready to jump into the game is stronger
nan at any time this season.
Fortified With Subs
We also have ceased to worry about sub
sntutes for the line. as wirkman, Berg,
WAGNER and Robinson have been put TO a
,est and showed that they are capable of
holding their own with any opponent. The
rapid development of Crane and Young at
snd also fortifies us against accidents 10
helne Miller and Klein Urquart.
Earlier In the season Young and Crane
vere not able TO practice as much as was
necessary. and Folwell was worrying about
reserve men for the ends. but now that thew
~ OUT Tor practice early each day Young
sna crane have come along In splendid
snape All things considered, we are IN
Nnne shape for the test. and think we will
''ne through with victory.
