There were four separate scrimmages for the University football squad yesterday afternoon in the first day's work of the week. The first of these was between teams A and B, which fought for a short time without either side being able to score. Then the Freshmen were brought on the field and sent against team A for ten minutes. The University was given the ball and within two minutes E. L. Casey '19 broke through for a 65-yard run to the 1920 goal line, but was called back because he had gone out of bounds. There was no other score or chance to score for either team during the rest of the scrimmage, which ended when the Freshmen intercepted a forward pass.
The second team was then brought in and sent against team A for about five minutes, the University being entirely on the defensive for this short time. After R. Horween '18 had intercepted a pass and had run it back 25 yards, team A was dismissed to run through signals, and team B took its place. The second team was unable to gain at first, and it was team B's ball when M. H. Gersum- ky '17's try at a pass went wild. The University then rushed the ball down the field and scored a touchdown when W. Willcox '17 crossed the second's goal line. The University took the ball on its 40-yard line and scored again soon afterwards, when R. H. Hitchcock '19 went over, after a long run by H. W. Minot '17 had brought the ball to the second team's ten-yard line. For the remainder of the workout team B was unable to gain as consistently as before, due chiefly to the strong defense put up by P. Zach '19 and G. D. Flynn '19 on the left side of the second team line.
The whole squad was photographed before beginning the day's work.
Teams A and B lined up as follows:
