downs on the freshman eleven. There
ware many punts, and only for the first
few minutes was the varsity offense
strong.

life of the first team. The forward pass
was tried several times and worked only
once. but then for a touchdown, Gilbert
receiving the ball from Starr on the %
| yard line and carrying it across An at
/ tempt at field goal by. Burr failed, but
! following a pretty 3o-yard run by Gilbert,
Rand made a touchdown. Line bucklng
was depended upon. The freshman Of
| Tense was weak. The play was spiritless
and on the whole discouraging. Ernest
| Graves, the army eX-captain, who is help
ing in the coaching this week superin-
tended the preliminary practice and kept
the men on the jump every second. New
hall and Lockwood took part in the sig
nal drill.
Gridiron Notes.
Dartmouth is expected to give Harvard
trouble. Dartmouth was very weak dur
/ ing the early part of the season owing to
several OF her best players being ineligible.
The team has recovered and is travelling
at a rapid pace just now.
Chicago and Michigan have equal
chances to win the western foot ball cham
pOnship Saturday, according to Coach
Stagg The estimate is based on the COM
parison of the individual players and style
of game rather than on the previous show
ings this year and Stage believes that
Dr.. Williams team makes up in strength
and eight what it lacks in new foot
ball
SpringheId's remarkable showing against
Harvard was due to the fact that il had
the forward pass down to perfection. 1t
worked this exciting feature eleven times,
for gains of 10 yards.
