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 than any that they will meet this year, Mr. Warner, as a student of the game and a very efficient coach, will do full justice to tlie men behind the line.
