COO people saw the freshies triumph
over their time-honored foes. who
withstood the attacks of the sophs,
preventing them from scoring several
times when within striking distance
of the freshmen goal line. The only
excuse the sophs have to offer for
their defeat at the hands of the first
year men was the illness of their star,
L. Bergquist, who sustained an injury
Thursday morling which kept him
out of the game, and which necessi-
tated shift in the lineup at the last
moment.
That il was a good game is conced-
ed by all the spectators, and the
sophs maintain that they would have
been satisfied with the outcome had
their rivals been a team other than

that the freshies deserved to win, and
