Squad Getting In Shape for the
Wisconsin. Several Good
Punters Developing.
Ames Confident.
While tho 'Varsltv practice last
nlclit did not come Up to the night
before It was still more like tlie old
form of work. Although the work
was not fast it was steady In both
offensive and defensive.
The scrubs put up a game that was
more than a credit to them. .Several
times they broke through the Varsity
line for gains ranging from two to
eight yards. '
All eyes were opened by the ability
which Allen ot the scrubs has in
covering ground. On a fumble by the
Varisty ho seized tho ball and start
ed down tho field with Crandall and
Dram m hot pursuit. Aided by Kel
logg ho worked past these men and
then the real race began. lie seemed
to Increaso his spoea at cverv stride
and planted tho ball safely between
tiie goal posts iifty-hvo yards from
where he started. McDonald failed
an easy goal, but the scrubs had
scored nevertheless.
Clinton and Mullikon mado moat tf
tho short gains through tho 'Varsity
lino. The scrubs hold tho 'Varsity for
dovn6 when they only had a jard and
a half to go to Becuro another touch
down. At tho end of about thirty min
utes play tho score was six to live in
favor of the 'Varsity.
Coach Booth is trying Eager at left
end. While his regular position is at
half back he will undoubtedly make a
goodondashc is fearless and a sure
man on tackles.
CutT has been tokon from his position
as half back on tho scrubs and given a
plat?o-ob tho 'Varsity. CutT is a now
man this year but is a star at half back
Ho has weight asd speed and io a sure
ground gainor.
A portion of tho time was devoted to
tackling Captain Westovor's dummy.
This gives tho men the form of tackling
and thoy aro coached to mako a low,
hard strike
The practice in punting still goes on
nightly and some good kickers are de
veloping. Tho most prominent of these
aro Boll, Bonder, Stinger and Pillsbury.
Ou account of a tad knee Bell is com
pelled to use his left leg but is develop
ing that in great shape and undoubt
edly will soon bo ably to sail the pig
eltin as far as ho could with his mighty
right.
Ames will eend her team over from
Tow a next Saturday for n try at tho
'Varsity. Tho latest report from the
Ilawkove stato is that they are full of
confidence as to their ability to make
Nebraska kok 6mall. Whether th 'y
will or not romains to be seen.
