GREEN TEAMS GOOD WORK
SOLDIERS WERE NO MATCH FOR
COLLEGE MEN.
Captain Hyde Has Taught Varsity
Good Interference and Made a
Strong Team Out of Green Ma
terial-The Soldiers Are Playing
Stronger, But Lack Team Work.

Yes, the University has a football team
that can claim to trot in the same class
with the other major teams of the city.
Yesterday this team went 10 Fort Doug
las and surprised its best friends by de-
feating the Ninth Cavalry eleven by a
score of Is to o.
In "A surprisingly short space of time
Captain Hyde has made team out Of
whSf at first seemed like nopelessly green
material While there are many spots yet
where the team Will stand strengthening,
IL put up a fairly good exhibition of team
work and some interference that would
have been a credit to a team with much
more experience. Captain Hyde was, of
course. the strongest ground gamer on
and a new man, Nielsen, at eft end proved
"A surprisingly reliable man at a pinch. In
the line Jeppson. Andrus and Gatehouse
distinguished themselves.
Captain Williams Not In Game.
The absence of captain Williams, the
speedy ha.f-back of the Soldier team,
handicapped the CaEalrymen greatly.
Carter did by far the strongest work of
The team on the defense. He had Jeppson
against him, but he broke through time
and time again and was everywhere at
once, seemingly. Riugo seconded him
well and HENDERSON proved the best Of the
center trio. The greatest weakness of the
CdNdlrymen was at The ends. Frequently
The two ends allowed themselves TO be
drawn in and the Varsity backs went
around for long gains. The ends received
little support from the backs in breaking
up the interference however. ana this
handicapped them greatly. The team has
improved its offensive play and has
learned 10 use interference but Inc backs
too frequently tried to go it alone and
they cannot get over their habit of run
ming back TO circle the end.
