including even the fundamentals of the game the men have been practicing tackling the dummy falling on the ball catchinig punts anid working the charging machine the players have been put through stiff signal drills as none of their men were in jured during the geneva game the cripples are coming around in shape again and the team is sure to be at its maximum strength by tomorrow likewise the brown and white eleven is in first-class shape and although the rochester game was a walk-away the eleven show ed a greater superiority in playing than at anytime this season the weak spots have doubtlesisly been strengthened and the former mis takes rectified by now coach keady has been putting the men through extensive signal drills in order to smooth out any possible kinks in the machine dif ferent from most college coaches keady does not believe in many scrimmages when a team knows the fundamentals this week there fore there was but one scrimmage and none of the players sustained amy injuries the scrubs were well coached on the w and j plays and were used against the varsity on wednesday during the scrimmage all of the varsity m e n showed up well henzlenian was right om the job

pendable as ever and goldman the center handled the ball in excep tionally fine form the whole line worked in a unison that was pret ty to watch continued on page four while the brown and white team
