Spring Football Practice.

The spring football practice, which was to continue until the Easter recess, has been cut short on account of Captain Daly's sprained ankle. Although the loss of this last week will be felt, the main objects of the spring work have already been attained; that is, to keep the heavy men in some sort of condition, and to develop the kicking. The practice in kicking has been very encouraging, in the number of long kicks made in the games. The line men have had a good deal of drilling in the rudiments of position play and have had chances in the two games for practical work. Both in tackling the dummy and in dropping on the ball the most noticeable fault to overcome has been the tendency to hesitate just before the jump.

One feature of the practice, which was entirely unexpected, has been the number of promising men who have been the number of promising men who have been discovered. The work of Spratt, Whitney, and Pruyn as line men has given reason to expect that they will develop into good men next fall, and Brockway and Martin have showed themselves very promising halfbacks. The most important discovery, however, has been Sherlock's ability as quarterback.
