...scrimmage today between the A and B outfits D. T. Finlayson '33, first string tackle, broke his ankle. Finlayson was in the act of breaking through the line when he sustained the injury, which is serious enough to keep him out of the lineup for at least five weeks. He is a brother of Murdock Finlayson '32, giant lineman of last year's Freshman team. Francisco will probably take Finlayson's place in the game tomorrow...

This afternoon will find the first string players pitted against Coach Knox's seconds and the two squads will meet again on Wednesday afternoon.

Although the first string players started slowly and showed ragged form, they soon got under way. The initial score followed a fifty yard parade down the field. A lateral from Putnam to Mays netted 20 yards. Charles Devens crashed through a weak spot in the left side of the scrub line for 15 more: yards and Putnam advanced the pig skin five. With beautiful interference mowing down potential tacklers. Mays dashed 15 yards...
