Yesterday's practice for the University football team marked the beginning of the final week of the present season. The preparation began under auspicious circumstances in that all of the regulars who have played at all within the last two weeks were on the field except Weston. He has contracted a bad cold and the physicians evidently believed that in view of the threatening weather conditions it would be wiser for him to stay indoors. Withington took his place in the line. Wallace once more appeared at centre and from all indications his temporary lay-off has not in any way affected his playing ability.
Punting for some of the backfield men, a rehearsal of signals, a long drill in which particular attention was given to the perfection of the defence and a short scrimmage constituted the afternoon's work. The University team lined up against the second eleven for half an hour. No tackling was done but the men diagnosed each play and got to the runner as quickly as possible.
The line-up yesterday was: l.e., T. J. Coolidge; l.t., Parson; l.g., Pennock; c., Wallace; r.g., Withington; r.t., Trumbull; r.e., Hardwick; q.b., Logan; l.h.b., Mahan; r.h.b., Bradlee; f.b., Francke.
