...development of this year's Freshman team has been retarded by a scarcity of candidates and by the lack of weight and previous football training of the available material. In spite of its vicissitudes, however, there is no reason to believe that this team will not prove itself on Saturday to be fully up to the standard set by the strong Freshman elevens of the last few years.
