Williamstown. Mass. Oct. 1.-Contrary
to expectations. the Williams varsity did
not have any scrimmage work this after
noon. Fred DAILY devoted most OF the
time to coaching the second team in a
hard fought game against the freshman
eleven.
At the opening OF the play the subsu-
tutes had little difficulty in working the
ball down toward the freshman goal.
Clark, at fullback. went over for the
first score. and Brodie skirted right end
soon after for 25 yards and a touchdown.
Jones played a strong game and was
the most consistent ground gamer In the
scrub team. At the end of a workout the
freshmen took the ball through the
scrubs defence on long runs, and by a
brilliant series OF forward passes placed
the ball on the 3-yard line. Smith. the
freshman right end, intercepted punt
