thus far be ing defeated 25-0 by rutgers last saturday the past week of practice has done much to develop the varsity football team slowly but surely it has rounded into shape and now is running like a well-oiled ma chine it bids fair to put up a fine brand of football against ursinus tomorrow the team was given a rest after the game last saturday and held only a long signal drill on monday tuesday there was both signal work and scrimmage on wednes day the team had a stiff workout followed by a short signal practice at wednesday's practice there was much shifting and substi tuting wysocki has been played at left end with young at his regu lar place at right end herrington was shifted over to right half-back captain halstead played fullback with lind at left halfback quar terback was played by mcnamara and nolan the line-up for tomorrow is very uncertain coach keady said on wednesday he had no idea what the line-up would be the back field is especially subject to change the physical condition of the team is good several of the men are ibadly bruised but with the ex ception of mccarthy and pfeiffer there is no one injured seriously mccarthy's ankle is gradually get teing into shape and the proba bility is he will be in shape for the pitt game pfeiffer was badly knocked up on wednesday and will be laid up for an uncertain length of time the possible line-up
