During the earlier part of last week their work consisted only of practice in tackling and breaking through, but lately they have lined-up against one another in elevens. In addition, the men have received individual coaching from Shaw and J. L. Knox 2L. The squad was cut down to seventy men on Monday, fifteen of whom will be taken to training-tale in about ten days...
