Especial to the kennebec JouruaD
freshman eleven rather rubbed it
into the varsity aggregation this af-
ternoon on Seavern's field in a half
hour scriplmage game by defeating
their elders by 100 score. The
scrimmage game was played under
very untavorable weather conditions
and the ball was anything but easy
TO handle. Both of the yearlinss
scores came as a direct result of a
tumble by the varsity.
The freshmen kicked off 10 the
varsity and after two line plays, a
tumble occurred. The ball was
picked up by varsity back but he

his arms and Erickson running at
full speed gathered the oval in and
romped across the goal line for the
first score. Erickson failed TO add
the additional point by the drop kick
route, After the second KICKOFF. the
freshmen could gain but little
against the varsity line and kicked.

Aearlins on his own Nv Cnty yard line.
The freshmen could not make a
great deal through the line and
kicked. On the third play after the
punt, Drummond recovered varsity
tumble and converted il into an
other touchdown by running to
yards up the field.
The varsity ripped great holes
through the freshman line but the
backs were slow in getting into their
holes and consequently lost a great
deal of ground. The yearlings played
heads-up football and took adVan-
tage of every misplay that the var
si,y made. which were many. The
first year men were without the Scrv-
ives of their star backs. Bagnall and

his time to Individual instruction to

field candidates. The Blue and Gray
mentor gave them. plenty of instruc-
ton in their individual PLAYS and
. then sent the two elevenS for few
minutes of fast signal drill before
the freshmen were called to the field.
A large number of interested stud
ents lined the fence on the campus
! and watched CLOSELY the work of the
two elevenS as they struggled on the
field.
Tomorrow afternoon Coach Roun-
dy will probably give his men an
