The high school Eagles emerged
from their hardest workout OF the
season Monday with little or no
damage done. The huskies scrim-
mayed with tn esecond squad, dis
playing good work both on the part
Of the backs and the line. The line
halted the second stringers In their
shoes. Their backs seldom were
able TO get past the line OF scrim-
mage. Big DAN Barnhart dis
ported himself In fine style at his
post Of fullback.
The first string backfield was
shaken up q bit due to the absence
OF Rodolfo Samano. He complained
Of a pain in his side early in the
scrimmage and was released for the
afternoon. The combination. of
Barnhart. Newman. Cabler and
Todd or Gonzales clicked off well
Monday. There is still a possibility
Of Carroll Groves being taken from
end and given a half post. This
would leave a gap in the line, how
ever.
Fessenden is still drilling the
squad in fundamentals. He gives
them blocking and tackling. This
Is where high school teams are
made and lost. "A team that is not
so smart but knows its blocking and
tackling will eventually wear down
its opponents.
Walter CLUB Washington, is
bearing down hard in the practice
and his work has begun to show up.
He seems to be in good condition
and is a wiling worker. Walter
made several good plays Monday.
On n play Cabler got away from
the entire field and seemed destined
TO make the goal line. Washington
ran him out to the side line, how
ever. and nailed him with a pretty
tackle. Cabler made about 80 yards
on the play.
