Ten more men reported for 1925 football practice yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field, bringing the total number of candidates to 126. Coach Campbell divided his squad into four groups backs, quarterbacks, ends and linesmen. The Freshmen players then went through the usual rudimentary drill of tossing medicine balls, starting and falling on the ball. The ends were coached especially in picking up the ball on the run.
W. B. Murray '19 took charge of the Freshman quarterbacks, who will be under his direction for the rest of the season. Twenty reported to Murray yesterday and it is expected that Coach Campbell will send to the quarterback squad several other men from his large backfield force. The Freshman coaching staff is counting on developing several quarterbacks of the highest quality this year and intends to give Coach Murray plenty of material to work on. Yesterday Murray tried to classify his men as to speed, lining them up several times and ordering dashes from fifteen to thirty yards in length.
Coach Campbell supervised the other backfield men. He repeated yesterday's punting practice and later sent a few players to join the quarterbacks in trying drop-kicks. W. B. Snow '18, the regular coach of the linesmen, gave his squad a stiff drill in the "duck waddle" and charging. V. F. Likins '18, a member of the University squad in 1916 and 1917, coached the ends yesterday. He will assist Coach Campbell during the next two weeks.
It will take several more days of practice before Coach Campbell can determine to any extent who will be dropped in the first cut
