lodged past the entire first team and
ran into a clear field. but stopped after
making sure that he could have scored
had he so desired. 1t was brilliant
piece of individual play. and Jones'
reputation as a great runner was en-
HANGED in the minds OF many OF the
varsity squad who never had seen him

Several substitutes were tried out on
the varsity. Bill Wise ran the team
most of the time at quarterback. He
has been a substitute quarterback on the
scrub team and was with the freshman
team last year. though not regular

field Hendrick and Speidel. both Of the
scrubs. and Jordan. Late in the scrim-
mage Jordan's place was taken by Cros-
key.
Cutler and Dilworth played practically
the whole scrimmage at ends. for they
need the practice more than any OF the
regulars. Just before the close their
