against Auburn in that game the memory
of which was such a sore point witli us
until last year. All of Nally's brain was
exerted against defeat, and it was much
to his efforts that the score did not run
20-0.
Then lie was in the line that walked
some seven or eight times over Mercer's
Goal line. That same year he made ids

Last year, with Mr. Winston as coach,
our team was drilled in Vale's style of
play. Mr. Winston also gave a groat
deal more time to the training of the
ends and backs than to the line. This
year our game will he up-to-date, as Mr.
Warner Is a player of last year; more
over our line will, no doubt, bo better

Mr. Warner, as a student of the game
