...Freshman football team was given a thorough trying-out in practice yesterday afternoon. The whole first squad was drilled in starting and in falling on the ball, special attention being paid to the ends by Coach Moore.

The scrimmage was short, snappy, and featureless except for a forty-yard end run by Robinson for the only touchdown of the day. The first team lined up as follows: l.e., Brooks; l.t., Paul, Spencer; l.g., Brown, Bronson; c., Cooney; r.g., Goebel; r.t., Tomlinson; r.e., Naedel; q.b., Howe; l.h.b., Robinson; r.h.b., Ristler; f.b., Francis...
