...response thus far made to the urgent calls for more candidates for the University football team has been exceedingly disappointing. At present there are so few line men out as to seriously hinder the trying out of the men for other positions. Will not the student body take hold of the matter and see to it that every able-bodied player reports at once? The prospects for a successful season are not bright and only the hardest effort on the part of the University at large can help us out of the difficulty. W. T. REID, JR. D. J. HURLEY...
...Freshman football squad was given its first hard practice yesterday afternoon. After the usual preliminaries of falling on the ball, tackling the dummy and signal practice, teams A and C played one period of fifteen minutes, in which neither team scored. Teams B and D did not line up but several of the men took part in the serimmage on either team A or C.

Near the end of the scrimmage Coach Kernan took Giuld's place to punt for the second eleven. Montgomery, however, broke through the line and blocked the kick...

...Freshman football candidates were given a long practice yesterday afternoon. The four teams, A, B, C and D, did not line up against each other as was expected, but instead were put through signal practice. Almost every man in the squad was on one of the elevens at some time during the practice. Afterwards the men were drilled in passing and falling on the ball and tackling the dummy. The work as far as could be judged was fairly satisfactory. Most of the men, however, who have reported so far lack weight and all heavy men in the Freshman class...
