Sept. 19.—Coach Bill Reid, of Harvard, is doing his best to get his men used to the new rules and to see what effect these rules will have on the play. The practice yes terday was In the morning, the candi dates getting half a day off In the afternoon. Some of the work tried In secret last week was repeated in pub lic. Seven men lined up and the de fensive backs were sent clown the field. The play was the new' forward pass. It was easy to see the men were not fa miliar with the way things would go, for they were not expert In following the course of the ball, which the backs were waiting to prab as soon an It touched the ground. Before the line-up Reid punted to a row* of men to teach them to become accustomed to the new rules, which puts everybody on side as soon as the ball touches the ground. He spun the ball in every direction along the ground. The size of the Harvard football squad has been increased to 35 men, the highest point thnt the crimson squad has yet reached. One of the new-comers is Irving, a 190-pound can didate, for tackle, who played on the second team Inst year.
