SNAVELY MAKES A HIT Spring football practice under Head Coach Carl G. Snavely has started with a record registration of ninety-three candidates, who are already scrimmaging daily on lower Alumni Field.

Snavely's first meeting with the squad was at an informal smoker the evening of April 6. The next day, in a driving rain and de- layed by droves of reporters and photog- raphers who nevertheless were treated considerately by the new coach, the candi- dates were put through blocking practice in the baseball cage. Daily ever since, they have been trained in kicking, passing, running, and contact work, outdoors whenever possible, or in the cage when the weather made outdoor work impossible. Each day more aspir- ants come out for the team, using every last piece of equipment in the Schoellkopf TIME OUT FROM SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE Photo by Fenner storeroom, and making necessary a rule Caught by the photographer just outside the door of Schoellkopf Field House, that three successive days of absence will here are, from left to right: James M.

DR. ANDREW C. WHITE DIES Dr. Andrew Curtis White, PhD '85, for more than thirty years Assistant Librarian, died April 14 at his Ithaca home, 4x4 Dryden Road. Proficient in six languages, he was superintendent of accessions in the Library from 1889 until his retirement in 192.3, and before that had been instructor in Latin and Greek. He received the AB degree at Hamilton College in 1881, taught for a year at Cayuga Lake Seminary at Aurora, and entered into graduate work in Classical Philology in 1882., studying during the summers at Leipzig and Berlin.
