terday with grim determination written on all
their :, faces It was well that they had made
up their. minds for plenty of hard work, as
Jimmy Irsfeld, Sig Harris and Harry Lyomis
HAD huge chunks cut out for them. When the
afternoon practice was over, it was safe to say
into them than they thought existed. Up
to this time the line has been new and
| to learn anything but the rudments The
coaches had made up their 1nindSSt to have fast
team, and one that could charge and break thru.
The boys have been taught to break thru, and
now they are learning what to do when they get
there j .. III
The stentorian voice of Harry Loomis was
ass1gnedfo the second team, and what he did in
rubbing pepper into them seen in the scrinl-
images. Sig Harris and Jimmy Irsheld shook
up the first team and put them thru All hour OF
fast signal practice No more excuses for igno-
rance were allowed. and the men realized 1t.
Signals were run off smoothly, but, In spite of
the fact that Hunter was back at quarter, fun
bles were altogether too frequent. Finally the
two teams lined up. The first team kicked off
and the second returned the ball to their 35-yard
line They gained their first down after two
tries at center, but on the next three plays were
forced back about ten yards. The first then
took the ball and advanced it by short gains,
but soon lost 1t on u tumble: They gained
their five yards as a rule on the third down.
The other plays were often broken up by the
| linesmen the second team before they were
we'll formed, Cogan, at center for the second
team, broke thru three or four times and tackled
the runner. Finally the first team took the ball
and pushed it over for a touchdown after sew
eral fierce lunges,
In the second half the play was again in the
second teams territory. Tobyn was put in at
half on the second and for few plays found
several holes in the regulars line. After the
| second team had gained their distance twice,
the regulars held for downs, and after that their
defense was adamant. The play closed with a
buck thru center by Captain Morse and a 25-yard
| run for touchdown. Coach Irsaeld then lined
his, proteges across the field and had 110-yard
dash for the other goal posts.

Cheered by the victory over Hamline last Fri
day, the East high boys began practice yester-
| day without gloves and fought out two furious
! halves. Before the scrimmage few football
| lessons were handed out and the boys were
| warned against any overconfdence. Everyone
was given chance at falling on the ball and the
two teams were run thru their signals under
| the direction Of Coach Wyman and Captain
| Frykman. '-.. =
The real joy of the day to see the offense
of the first team. In spite of hard coaching
| the ohense has been loose all season, but yes
| terday 1t began,:its old-time cIock-work motion
and the second team could not hold, altho they
fought hard. When the second team had the
| ball they only. able to make short gains
| tain Frykman's punting was the feature Of the
| day, - f~t.. ~ - ""S j h5V
