STAGG SEVERE WITH MAROONS

Midway Candidates Treated to Strenuous Daily Practise—lgnorant of New Rules. Capt. “Bill” Crawley has been busy recently lining up the candidates for the University of Chicago football team. At the start Crawley and Coach Stagg put the men through a severe course of practise. This was kept up for several days. Coach Stagg departed long enough from regular practise one afternoon to give his entire squad a quiz lecture on the new rules, which lasted over an hour, and to his great surprise he found few of his men acquainted with them. The mentor of the university not only gave each man a formal introduction to the new code, but invited them, one and all,

to get familiar with a. rule book for this year at once. Some of the answers to his questions were amusing, and good-natured Old Man of the Midway could not help but smile at the ignorance of some of the regulars.
