HIGH SCHOOL BEATEN
PRACTICE SCRIMMAGE

In practice scrimmage on the High
school grounds tuesday afternoon the
Delta Epsilon fraternity team defeated
the High school lads Sc to 0. The collie
gfans greatly outweighed the prep school
boys and the game was decidedly one
sided. the High school team being able
only twice to make the required 10 yards.
Despite the fact that they were outgener-
allied at all points of the game, the much
lighter players put up stiff fight that
is worthy OF special commendation. For
the fraternity team the open field run
ming of Gleason Jacobs. the line work of
hunt and the line plunging of Captain
Simmte Yeaton were noticeably promi-
nent. Erbb, who played tackle. caused
his team to be penalized several times
for offside play and holding. The frater-
nifty team will play the Oak Grove Semi
nary team at Oak Grove Saturday after
