L. of NJ, Sept. 30.-The old enemy
Injury" still continues to take its
toll from the University of Names
football team. Bill Elliott. right end
on the varsity for the past two
years, is the last victim. Elliott's
arm was badly sprained in the
Rhode Island game last Saturday
and there is not much chance of his
being able to play against Boston
University next Saturday.
Both Elliott and Captain Gruhn
watched today's scrimmage from the
side lines. Gruhn probably won't be
able to get back into the harness
until next week.
Brice has been developing new
forward pass attack which he
plans to use against the heavy Bos-
ton University eleven. Advance re-
ports from Boston claim that the B.
L. gridders have line that averages
22O pounds from tackle to tackle. If
these reports are true, the fast run
ming Bears will have to hole in for
the winter If they expect to stop
this human avalanche from the Hub.
The freshmen team is working
over time this week in order to cor
rect the mistakes of last week s
game with Hebron. 1t was remark
ed on the side lines Saturday that
the entire team would make good at
any "petting party" 1t seems the
Fresh were quite partial towards
"necking' the Hebron players. They
called it tackling.
However. Portland fans will be

Watervule. Maine. Sept. So
The Cohurn gridiron warriors held
hot scrimmage last night on Lbbey
Field. For over an hour the two
teams battled up and down the field
and some good football was display
ed.
Team A gained at will through
Team BIS line but were weak on
breaking up forward passes and
Team b gained considerable ground
by this method. Pichnarcik though
only a fiyweight was the most con-
sistent ground gainer for Team r.
Several times he slipped through the
center of the line for. good gains. He
is, very fast in starting and a hard
man to tackle. Weston featured for
Team A running around end and
weaving his way through the entire
team for 40 yards before he was fin
ally brought down from the rear by
Captain Shanahan who was the pilot
for Team B. Weston Is faster than
last year and he can run ends with
the skill of man not half his size.
Tom khoury is playing great
game in the backfield. Tom is a front
half back. bucking the center and
ripping OFF tackle in rip roaring
fashion. He is also bear. on defense
and he backs up the line in man
rnr that would remind one Of Jake
Goldberg. the old Coburn grid star.
Coach Haines drilled his men. es-
pecially tn ends, on getting down un-
der punts. He emphasized the fac>
that the ends want to he on top of
the ball when it lands. There are
some fast ends on the squad and they
should have no trouble in doing this.
Another hard scrimmage will he
on the card for today and the men
will put the finishing touches on be-
fore the game Saturday.
