NO WORK FOR REGULARS

QUARANTINE LIFTED

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In reward for their great victory over Cornell last Saturday, the regulars and most of the substitutes of the University football team who got into the game were excused from practice yesterday afternoon and given a day off. The Stadium was deserted except for about a dozen of the scrubs who went through a long workout under the direction of Coaches Haughton, Leary and Felton, who were the only members of the staff to appear on the field.

H. C. Flower, Jr., '19 was one of the few members of the squad who reported and he was worked actively for the first time in several weeks. He seems to be ready to take up his share of the backfield work in the future and should therefore be an important asset to the efficiency of the team. Before he was put out of the game he was first choice over E. L. Casey '19 for a regular place on the team, but the latter has shown such a decided improvement since he has been given his chance that Flower will have to show something particularly brilliant to win back his old position and will probably have to be content with being Casey's first substitute.

Captain Dadmun and R. Harte '17, who were forced to leave the game on Saturday, received no more than a severe shaking up, and are expected to report with the rest of the squad as usual this afternoon. The general day of rest will work particularly to their advantage, giving them a chance to get rested up after the hard game they played against Cornell.

The partial quarantine under which the members of the University and second teams and the various managers were placed at the time of the discovery that E. Ginn '18 had infantile paralysis, will be lifted this evening. Tonight will mark the second week since the case was found and the required time of quarantine will then be over.

Extra Stands Being Put Up.

Work has been begun on the wooden stands which will be completed in time for the Princeton game. There will be the usual stands on the track in the Stadium and the "bleachers" across the open end, but no stands connecting the extremities of the Stadium proper to the end stands. Though there will be four or five sections less than in former years with these connecting links left out, there will still be plenty of room to accommodate the crowds, and under the new scheme all the seats will be so situated as to give a good view of the field.
