GRIDMEN PUT ON YEAR'S SNAPPIEST SCRIMMAGE

Amid sub-Arctic conditions at Soldiers Field yesterday, Eddie Casey's Eskimos mushed through the Jayvees for three touchdowns in one of the snappiest scrimmages of the year. Bill Parquette, George Blackwood, and Braman Gibbs provided the three tallies for the much improved Varsity squad.

Parquette's score came on the most brilliant play of the afternoon, a 20-yard sprint off tackle, with the vest-pocket back again, proving that he can run as well as pass. His teammate, Blackwood, crossed the goal line by the hard route of plunging from the eight-yard line. On both plays vastly more efficient blocking by the guards paved the way for the ball carriers.

Both of yesterday's Varsity scrimmage teams performed without the series of eight of the first-string players, since Gundlach, Dubiel, Kelly, Coinfort, Haley, Simmons, and Knapp were exensed from practice, and Mike Adlis arrived late from an afternoon class. For this same reason there were no signal lineups.

However, the entire squad will be ready for the New Hampshire game this Saturday.
