WILLIAMS TODAY AT 4.

A Great Improvement in the Practice.-Hallowell Sprains His Ankle.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The football eleven will play Williams on Soldiers Field at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Last year Harvard defeated Williams 29 to 0. Only five men of last year's Williams team will play to-day; so little idea of the strength of the team can be formed. Since the game with Wesleyan several changes have been made on the Harvard eleven, and this game will be somewhat in the nature of a trial. Clark will take Hallowell's place at right end. Graydon will be tried at full-back, a position which he had not played for two years until Monday, and Gierasch will be given an opportunity to show his ability at halfback.

The line-up will be as follows: Harvard.  Williams. Clark, r.e.  l.e., O'Neil J. Lawrence, r.t.  l.t., Simmons Barnard, r.g.  l.g., T. Cole Sargent, c.  c., Kanter Lee, l.g.  r.g., Davenport Blagden, l.t.  r.t., Hatch Campbell, l.e.  r.e., Cullinane Daly, q.b.  q.b., Leggett E. Kendall, r.h.b.  l.h.b., Graves Gierasch, l.h.b.  r.h.b., Lawrence Graydon, f.b.  f.b., Dolph

Although the work of the first eleven yesterday afternoon was slightly improved, serious injuries to Hallowell and Howe checked the satisfaction caused by the encouraging practice. Hallowell sprained his left ankle in the first half, when blocking Daly's attempt at a goal from the field. As he will not be able to play for about three weeks, he will be kept out of all the early games and possibly the one with Pennsylvania. A few minutes after Hallowell was taken from the field, C. H. Howe '04, centre on the third team, broke a bone in his right leg. The break is not a bad one, but will prevent his playing for the rest of the season.

After the preliminary practice, the first eleven played two halves of ten and fifteen minutes each against the third eleven, and scored three touchdowns in all, one of them the result of a fluke. On the whole, the first eleven played a snappier game than yesterday, and did better defensive work in the line; but the interference was not good enough to allow the halfbacks to gain around the ends. Graydon was tried at fullback and did some successful bucking. He hit the line hard, watched the holes accurately and used his body well in getting through. Another improvement back of the line was Kernan's plunging through the tackles. He made two gains of twenty-five yards in the first half which made the first touchdown possible. Riggs, who was put at right guard in the first half, opened good holes in the line and was fairly successful in stopping plays. Stillman made the first touchdown, after the ball had been taken by a series of line plays from the middle of the field. The second was made by Clark, who picked up the ball on a fumble and ran fifty yards with it.

The first and third elevens lined up as follows: First Eleven.  Third Eleven. Campbell, L. Motley, l.e.  r.e., Morse, Littig. Blagden, Spratt, l.t.  r.t., Lewis, Grew. Lee, Hollingsworth, l.g.  r.g., Rainsford, Carroll. Sargent, c.  c., Roberts, Howe, Sudgen. Riggs, Barnard, r.g.  l.g., Shea, Robinson. J. Lawrence, Whitwell, r.t.  l.t., R. Lawrence, McGrew. Hallowell, Clark, r.e.  l.e., B. Taylor. Sherlock, C. Daly, q.b.  q.b., L. Daly. Kernan, Gierasch, l.h.b.  r.h.b., Putnam. E. Kendall, I. W. Kennall, r.h.b.  l.h.b., W. R. Lawrence. Graydon. Stillman, f.b.  f.b., Mifflin.
