...scrimmages of last week, Team A has shown much superiority over the seconds. Kriebel, the University tackle, is breaking through the scrub line and opening holes constantly. At center, Engstrom, 1919 center, is being pushed to the limit by Kercheval, a newcomer, and it is still a toss-up who will start Saturday...

As yet, Opie, whose running was chiefly responsible for his Freshman team's victory over Yale in 1917, is the only man to give much promise. He weighs 165, and is very aggressive.
