The most discouraging practice of the football season was the work of the 'Varsity eleven yesterday afternoon. The work began with the usual five starts by twos and falling on the ball. This was followed by the regular signal practice. The 'Varsity lined up for its work in the following order: Cabot, l. e.; Wheeler, l. t.; Bouve, l. g.; Burden, c.; Shaw, r. g.; Donald, r. t.; Moulton, r. e.; Garrison, q. b.; Dibblee, l. h. b.; Brown, r. h. b.; Haughton, f. b.
The 'Varsity backs fumbled continually. There was no snap in the work. Tha plays started slowly, were mixed up all the time, and everything was done in a listless manner. Garrison, who was new at quarterback, may have been partly to blame for all this, but Haughton and Brown deserve their good share of the blame.
The short practice game which followed was between the following two elevens:
SUBSTITUTE 'VARSITY. SECOND.
Lewis, l. e. r. e., Graydon.
Murchie, l. t. r. t., Sargent.
Bouve, l. g. r. g., Hoague.
Burden, c. c., Burnett.
Boal, r. g. l. g., Lee.
Mills, r. t. l. t., Gray.
Richardson, r. e. l. e., Davis.
Garrison, q. b. q. b., Farley.
Maguire, l. h. b. r. h. b., Wadsworth.
Parker, r. h. b. l. h. b., Sanborn.
Haughton, f. b. f. b., Warren.
Only one touchdown was made by the first eleven. When time was called good rushes by Sanborn-who did all his work exceedingly well-were advancing the ball rapidly into the first eleven's territory. The tackling of Garrison and Sanborn, Bouve's blocking one of Warren's punts and Sanbor's very excellent running with the ball were the best parts of the play. The work as a whole was slow and ragged. The line men of the first eleven made few holes, and the backs were not aided by any interference. It was a most discouraging afternoon's work.
