1931 Football Men Progress

A cut in the Freshman football squad which reduced it to 50 men has enabled Coach E. C. Casey '19 to proceed with greater celerity with the rounding up of the squad for the game with Andover, which is scheduled for Saturday. Yesterday's practice was devoted to learning new plays, signals and formations. A scrimmage, the second of the week, will be held today.

Although it is rather early for predictions, it is safe to say that this year's Freshman group is very promising. There are about six men in the squad. Coach Casey said yesterday, who look exceptionally good.

Due to a musunderstanding when the first cut is the squad was made, many men who signed up for football failed to report yesterday. A. M. Blackburn, Jr., '28, associate manager of football, requests that all Freshmen who were cut from the first squad report as usual at the field for practice, as the announced cut was really intended as a division of the players to facilitate coaching.
