them the wickedness of such tricks the coach
caused them to change sides with the second
team, and allowed Dobe's division to hammer
the first team until touchdown resulted.
The scrimmage fast and fierce while it
lasted and showed that the first division has
made big advance since last week. The big
fellows held their opponents in good shape,
Case, who was dallying at left end, repeatedly
worming his way around to break up the Often
sive plans of the second team backs. Hunter
and Joe Cutting alternated at quarter, the for
mer lacking the latters speed but equalizing
things with his plucky, scrappy style of play.
Kremer, Current. Davies, Weisel Gleason and
was at one time back Of the line, while San.
born took his place at guard. Earl Luce was
taken from the end and put at the half for a
season. The changes rapid and kept the
second team guessing what was coming next
Fred Hunter shortened the second setto by escap-
Ing from the second team and romping around
for touchdown.
The afternoon was chilly and seemed to nut
the lighting spirit into the second team as well
as the varsity. Every formation the varsity
attempted was met with stubborn resistance
The defense Of the varsity was so improved
that little gain made by the second team
save thru the industrious coaching of Dobie
VINO knew the signals and told his men Just
who to get after.
Davies took turn at carrying the ball last
night and opened the eyes Of some Of the new
men as to making progress Davies was slim
perry, and some Of the tyros who ATTEMPTED to
hold him found that it was like taking an eel of
fshhook 1t was the first hard work Davies
pas done and demonstrated that he is rounding
to In good shape.
- Last nights scrinlmage was the first In several
days and comparison with those of last week
shows that the team has gained in speed inst
how much, will be demonstrated this afternoon
f the first team goes all the way with ST
Ihomas, as the morning indica lions would be-
token, the score will be immense one The
second team, however, may get into one of the
naiVes, and, while they are not so fast as the
hrst team, big score Is looked for.
The board Of control was in session Yesterday
afternoon, but did little Of general interest
to pass upon the plans for an auxiliary grand
stand. 1t Is estimated that the stand will cost
about $1,000
