fiji your auditorium, together with
the press representatives. There will
BIZ practically no room for the public

Coaches Shift Men

Although New York 1lniversity's
football team has scored clcan-cut vic
tories in its last three contests,
Coaches Longwell and Gargan are not
satisfied with the present makeup of
the eleven and are contemplating sew
eral changes for the Stevens game
Saturday, The shifts were tried out
In yesterdays practise session and
probably will hold for the remainder
of the season
The most important change was the
return Of Captain Cam to his old
place at left halfback The Violet
leader has been playing at left tack e
since the injury to Baker three weeks
ago. His absence from forming inter
ference for the backfield men and from
the secondary defense has been too
keenly felt and made the shift neces-
sary. Sulzer, varsity lineman OF two
years ago, will fill the tackle position
left vacant by Cam.

Business relations between the minor

an all-day executive session.
The minors have decided it is best

Stevens Men Work
From Noon Until
Dusk ON Gridiron

Stevens held one of its longest prac-
tices of the season yeste rday preparing
for Saturdays game with N. Y. U. The
squad reported shortly after noon and
did not let up until after dusk set in.
Hard work was the order OF the day
and the men were all in when Coach
Durborow sent them TO the showers.
The game with n. Y. L. viii deter
mine the Jersey teams rating and the
men realize what the outcome will
mean to them. The Engineers are pull
ing for a shutout victory to add to
their five consecutive victories and at
the same time keep their opponents
from scoring. To date no team has
crossed the Stevens line Rhode Island
being the only team to tally and that
on safety.
Although the team is considered to
be strong enough on the defense to
warrant drilling on the other branches
of the game, still the coach sprung a
surprise by devoting a long period to
this sort of practice
