scrimmage at Colby college this af-
ternoon when he sent all of his men
who saw little or no service in the
game against Trinity last SATURDAY.
afternoon against the freshmen team
for half an hour. The scrimmage
was rather unlocked for as it Was
expected that the Blue and Cay
grid mentor would give ali of the
men day of light exercise ind
start in Tuesday or Wednesday with
the rough scriinnage work, bu. he
started off the weeks drive for the
ROwdoin game in a rush and is !e-
tcrmined that all of his charges shall

'Nthe initial game of the state series.
The first OF the afternoon a ..ttie
time was taken in puntins sc.i:n-
mage OF The lishtest variety with
number of the backheId men se.t,Eg
some exercise with their tees. In
spite of the excellent showing which.
Bud Weymouth made last Satur-
day afternoon in punting, the coach
is lar from satisfied and will spend
. great deal of time this week in
trying To develop u steady and
! heavy kicker who will give TO the To-
cal collegiars some superiority over
their opponents in the next lew
games
After the punting work, two teams
were sent through Il fast signal drill
up and down tho field until the

DeaSy. Al OF the men with one Or
two exceptions who played in TIE
game against Trinity were then sent

showers as the coach considered that

. from the game Saturda:. \ second
team was lined up and the scrim

of and all of the men sent in 20 he
gymnasium. Erickson scored the
/ lone tally for the yearlings on a wide
end run which was a pretty one to
watch. The varsity hackfield show

through the yeariings line hut the
first year men more than inadc Up

work
| Considerable speculation was caus-
ed when "Sully'' Sullivan, regular
end VIII" teamed up with Captain
Soule last season throughout the
state series, appeared on the field in
uniform, and took part in the first
part of the practice session. 1t is
not definitely known vet whether or
, not Sullivan will be in the best
craces of the faculty but in event
| that he is it will mean n great addi-
ton to the varsity team in their
next few games. Sullivan WAS a
| power on the defensive as well as a
most valuable end ON the offensive
and so far this year tie right end Of
| the Blue and GRAY line has been the
weak point. Wentworth was also
| present this afternoon and played
| guard throughout the Scrimmaee
with the second varsity. Hs has been
ineligible but 1t is rumored that he
! too is in the good eraces OF the facul-
! ty and will he able to play as soon
as he gets into the best of condition.
With these two additions to the line,
! Coach !:oundy will have much
! stronger and aggressive line and will
have four veteran tackles to depend
upon as Seidelman is rapidly round
ing into shape.
! The days work was not complete.

I field this afternoon cs the head couch
i called a meeting OF all OF the varsity
! candidates this evening in Recitation
| hall and save them a long and in
; tensive Skull practice outlining n
! number of new plays, both offensive
and defensive. The drive for the
series games will continue tomorrow
ana the rest Of the week without n
: let-up.
