Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. ga few chosen
followers of University Of Chicago
football who were admitted TO
Stage field for practice last night
got a distinct shock when the sup
posed weak freshmen team tore
the varsity to ribbons and ran up
and down the field at Will.
II was Just what the varsity
needed 70 take out the cockiness
after the A. to drubbing handed
to Northwestern Saturday. Coach
Stage prefsced the scrimmage with
few remarks, the chief one being
that Il was more the collapse OF
the crippled Purple than any Ma
room strength that accounted for
the top-heavy score. Jimmy Shell
coach at the University OF Indiana

After this calling" the varsity
scored touchdown against the
freshmen. then started 10 LOAF.
Then things began TO happen.
Dave Fryer. yearling quarterback,
opened with a full hand of Illinois
formations and the varsity put up
pitifUl exhibition on defense.
With Fryer. Timms and Read
boring through the center Of the
line and dashing around the ends,
the fresh marched 80 yards for d
touchdown and only once needed
fourth down to make distance. The
goal was kicked ana the freshmen
led. to 6, for the first time this
year.
After so minutes more OF scrim-
mage the varsity finally put over
another touchdown. but il became
so dark that the fresh defense had
TO do a lot of guessing TO figure
out where the ball was.
The wretched showing OF the
varsity was a shock to the camp
followers and indicates that the de-
Tense will have 20 stiffen for TIE

Reber. Swensou and Stegeman
put up a paper defense in the cen
ter Of the line and Coach Stage was
so dissatisfied with the defensive
showing Of his ends against North
western that he worked Halliday.

sucked in on end runs.
Nearly a thousand tickets for the
