Owing to the wetness of the grounds yesterday afternoon, the 'varsity eleven did not begin their secret practice as had been intended, but went through the regular work on the old field.

The first hour was devoted almost entirely to practice in breaking through the rush line to stop kicks. Brewer and Wrightington were put behind the line and did the punting while the first eleven tried to hold the second. Later they went over to the second eleven and the 'varsity had its turn at breaking through. In this work Wheeler on the second, though he played opposite Waters, did particularly well. Brewer's punting was not very good but this was partially due to the wetness of the ball and Wrenn's frequently inaccurate passing.

After this work the two teams lined up for a short practice game. As usual, the 'varsity had no difficulty in scoring, and made two touchdowns in the few minutes' play. Their gains through the line, however, were made very largely by sheer weight and push, no holes being opened for the backs, who ran right into the opposing tackler. The interference on round the end plays was more satisfactory.

Doucette and Whittemore were the only two who did noticeably good individual work. The former was tried at right guard on the second eleven, and toward the end of the practice took the place of Norton Shaw on the 'varsity. Here he did some fine tackling and repeatedly broke through the rush line. Whittemore, in the ten minutes he played fullback on the 'varsity, made two long runs, one almost the whole length of the field.

Ninety-Seven. 10; Ninety-Eight, 10.The first game of the class series was played yesterday afternoon between the sophomores and the freshmen, and resulted in a tie. The freshmen were strengthened by Hennen and Hoague from the 'varsity, and they did very effective work in tackling and making holes. The defensive work of both teams was much weaker than the offensive. As a whole both teams played Well, though '97 grew weaker in the second half. The sophomores started out playing hard and scored twice in the first half and not at all in the second. The freshmen could not hold them in the first, but in the second part of the game they scored two touchdowns quite easily. For '97 the best playing was done by Garrison, Sullivan, and Scannell. For '98, Fincke, Woods and Ames played best.

In the first half '98 had the kick-off. They got the ball again and rushed it down to the sophomores' five yard line. There '97 got it on a fumble and in two rushes carried it to within twenty-five yards of the goal. Then Garrison, by a very pretty criss-cross, drew in the freshmen's right end and scored a touchdown. Garrison kicked a goal.

The sophomores got the ball from the kick-off and worked it steadily down the field, playing mostly with the tackles back. Scannell made a touchdown, and Garrison missed the goal.

In the second half '98 returned the kick-off, got the ball on a muff, and Fincke scored a touchdown in two minutes' play. Fincke kicked the goal. The sophomores kicked off again, '98 returned it, and got the ball on four downs. They rushed it down the field mostly by centre plays and Fincke made another touchdown, but missed the goal. The rest of the half the ball was held pretty near the centre of the field. The make-up was as follows:

NINETY-SEVEN. NINETY-EIGHT.

Smith, l.e. r.e., Bull.

Chatman, l.t r.t., Ames.

Hovey, l.g. r.g., Woodward.
