...Freshman football squad began practice yesterday with tackling the dummy and falling on the ball. The coaches then divided the squad into four teams and after running through signal practice, the first scrimmage of the season was held.

The crew started off at 35 to the minute and rowed about 32 for the remainder of the distance. The first half-mile was covered in 2 minutes and 25 seconds, with the aid of a favoring tide. The boat went very well and the trial...
