REGULAR At PRACTICE
Plenty Of Grit and Spirit Shown
by the Sophs and Fresh
men.
BY e. S. Hall.


freshmen teams have been fairly well
determined upon, with the exceptions Of
few positions where lively fights are
going on. The men have not been play

nails well in hand and get into the plays
rapidly.
What men are out are showing up

irregularity on the part of some Of the |

chance of winning their numerals if
they would only bestir themselves and

supplied with plenty Of nerve and
grit and not afraid to use it.
Yesterday afternoon the sophs and
freshies mixed up for twenty minutes
of scrimmage of not particularly start
ling character. Straight line bucks were
in scoring touchdown on the other.
Hawley getting the ball on forward
pass made fast getaway for the sophs
and crossed the goal line. The ball had
touched the ground, however, before
he got it, and, according to the rules,
was out of play. Rademacher getting
the ball on tumble scored touchdown
for the freshmen. A try for field
goa! by Capron barely missed.
