scheduled was a physical examination
under Physical Director Brown. About
30 candidates went through the ex-
animation which Mr.. Brown declared
an absolute success. He cautioned
those who were smoking cigarettes TO
cease to do SO. and to those who
smoked pipes to cut down on the
amount of tobacco. Everything, ne
stated was In their favor to produce

After this examination Coach Ash

blackboard talks the correct way to
run down the field, tackle an oppon-
ant, fall on the ball and punting the

cam formations.
Following this chat, mats were
strewn on the floor and the football
was placed in the center. The men

Some of them failed to guage the dis
lance correctly and Coach Ashton
placed rope so that the candidates
| had TO leap over the rope In order
| 10 fall on the ball. AS the men began
| to judge more correctly the distance

time to interfere with the dummy
by hurting the legs in the dummy S
direction. After many efforts the can
didates were making successful tries
in nine cases out of ten. Then
tackling the dummy without leaving
