ding the ball and other fundamentals.
but Dobie soon sent them at dummy
scrmmaEe in which the line and ends
were given n severe workout. Dobie
has great respect for the Dartmouth
team, and for the first time this year he
seems to be thinking especially OF de-
fensive preparation. With Munns COM
ing finely at right end and Gouinlock
showing reliability. though he lacks his
team mates brillancy, Dobie In salts
fled with his wing men and means now
to begin the work OF polishing them for
the bigger tests.
Besides these two he gave attention

agreeable surprise. Carey got back into
the varsity backfeld to-day, and he

that has so far come from him.

seemed unable to handle the majority
OF the forward passes used In scrim-
