"C|NCERLESS' GAME
THAT VARSITY WON
Thirty-eight to Nothing Vic
tory Over the Freshmen
Yesterday Afternoon.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Brief Spells of Good Playing
But the Tigers APP
peared Listless.
MAYBE 'TWASTOOHOT

Listless playing was what the Var
sity and freshmen showed yesterday
afternoon on Rollins Field. The Var
sity did not have the snap and go in
their work that it takes to win against
other teams. The lighter freshman
team had line through which they
did not gain consistently. Cheek, the
freshman left end, in the earlier part
of the game got back of the line and
broke up a number of plays which
started off too slowly.
The Varsity gains were through the
line. The forward pass would not
work. Only short gains were made
the plays starting too far back of the
line
But the weather was not made for
football. 1t was plenty hot enough
for baseball or track, but not for this
cold weather game. Perhaps that
was the reason for the slow game
yesterday
The freshman team held the Varsity
to 50 points, but were unable to score
| themselves. The first year men held
together with some team work dur
ing the first of the game, but were
unable to check the gains of the VAR
sity through the line.
Moore and Manning, right and left !
halves on the freshman team, showed
up best for the first year men. The
tackles and gains of these men were
among the best plays made against
the Varsity. Moore made several
gains of more than fifteen yards on
plays around the ends.
At the beginning of the game it
looked like hard work for the Tigers.
but the continuous pounding of the
freshman line soon made openings
through which the Varsity made
gains. There were many weak places
in the Varsity line and Moore, the
right half back, found them. The sue
cessful forward passes by the fresh
men were clean ones. One of the
few made by the Tigers gave them a
touchdown. This was made near the
end of the first quarter by a pass
from Lake to KnOble
Knoble made five of the six touch
downs scored by the Varsity. One
was made by dolby"
after he had dropped the ball, two
freshmen fumbled it. he recovered it ,
and went over the line.
The other touchdown for the Var
sity was made by McRue when he re-
covered a tumble on the freshman 10
yard line and scored with no trouble .
Thatcher succeeded in kicking two
goals after touchdowns and failed at
one place kick from the Is yard line.
Varsity made the first touchdown +,
IN forward pass This was the
only time the Varsity made much gain
With the play. The freshmen used :,
he forward pass after unsuccessful .
attempts to get through he line.
Three times they used it for gains of :
more than fifteen yards. =
