Sophs. VS.. Freshies.
(Evergreen.)

LIN way VIC JdpS' dlu NuSSlduS are
doing it, is not circumstance to the way
in which the Sophs. and Freshies. mixed
with each other on Rogers field yester-
day.
The teams were we'll matched for, al
though the Sophs'. line was heavier, the
Freshies had a back field composed OF
heavier and more experienced players.
The game throughout was intensely in
teresting. Both teams showed up some
good individual work, but both were
lacking in the team work necessary to
make the required gain. No sensational
plays were made. The longest run was
one of forty yards by Grimes. Both
teams were forced to punt several times.
The game was played mostly in Soph.
territory, although neither goal was in
danger at any time.
Thayer got a bad cut above the eye
and was forced to leave the game during
the first half. Pickrell was also disabled
so as to keep him out during the second
half.
Grimes played good game at quarter
for the Sophs. Stuart did good work in
the line and Pickrell, Cheney and Hub
bard made some good gains at half-back
Goldsworthy, Miner and Spalding were
the satellites of the Freshman lineup and
time after time forced the Soph. line for
good gains.

forced back and lost the ball on downs.
Sophs. were unable to advance the ball
and punted again. Sophs. were penal
lied for off side and Goldsworthy went
through the line twice for FIVE yards each.
The ball then passed back and forth SO
fast for while that we lost track of il
until Miner got hold of it and ran it down
the field twenty yards. Spalding then
made two runs, gaining five and eight
