Football at the university received boom
yesterday afternoon when Sanborn, one OF the
4 substitute guards of last season, appeared on
the gridiron in battle array and took part III the
practice Sanborn is big fellow of splendld
physique and Is hard worker. He has good
+ head and good speed, and is the most notable
addition to the squad since the return or the
..M' men.
Signal practice and scrimmage marked the
work of the afternoon. The slowness Of the
candidates in turning out has retarded the
work of the coaches to an appreciaoe eNtene,
and the just getting down TO the rear
work of the year. Some of the best men were
late in returning and are not in condition to
stand hard work. This will be we'll over by the
end of the week. and with the beginning OF next
week Dr. Williams will have the way clear to
nut ideas of modern football into the heads OF
& his coaches. .~
While the squad looks better now than 1t has
any time since the early training started there
are still several football men in the university
who are needed and who should be out nightly
on Northrop field. Several of these fellows
should make the team this year by conscien-
tous work. and in addition to this they are
needed. Delays in getting out by these chaps
will hold back the work of the entire squad.
The net result of the play of Saturday, while
nothing upon which roseate hope could be
builded, has had an encouraging tendency
among the men. The scrimmage last night was
the stiffest of the year, and altho marked by
the usual early raggedness was hard
~ fought and began to look like football than
that of last week. Bert Paige was out as
s.sting in the coaching of the line, and 'Hunky"
Davies was back of the line assisting in speed
ing up the halves. The fullback positions are
well cared for. Current goes into scrimmage
q with the same slam that marks his game play,
and Nat Fryckman on the college team Kept
the varsity looking after him all Of the time.
Going In High.
The lines and back forwards and backs show
the old early season fault of wading into the
H scrmmage with heads in air like war horses'
and the college team Is getting the charge on
the varsity every and then. The passing
of the varsity center and Larkin's receiving
were not In accord last night at the start OF
the work, but as it progressed 1t went better
and
The fumbling was equally divided between
the teams The only redeeming feature of this
was the manner in which everybody went after
ball when it had escaped. tumble meant
almost as big ple-up a blocked play III
the line. Current and Schuchnecht got away from
the college players for long runs. and Brush
and Dan Smith tore thru the college line II
slashtng style on several occasions.
! It was feared last week that the college team
was not going to be strong enough to give the
varsity hard workout all occasions. Las
nights play of the younger men had the efec
of removing this fear in part. This was due II
measure to the slowness of the varsity for
wards in charging and what looked to be hold
4 ing Of the collegians too cheaply. If the!
keep up the gait of last night the college team
3 players are going 10 give Tue varsity all Ill
: exercise they for. The tackling boil

= hard order. Making all proper allowances TO
early season faults the scrtmmage good.
