The practice of the 'varsity football team seems to grow better every day. Yesterday afternoon the first and second elevens lined up for a short game of two 15 minute halves, the 'varsity making two touchdowns and preventing the second eleven from scoring. Captain Emmons played during the whole time and, with Waters, materially strengthened the line. Mackie went through the signals with the team but did not join the line-up. In one of the rushes Fairchild sprained the cords of his neck, but the accident is not serious and he will be out again in a few days.
Trafford '93 coached the interference during the preliminary work and put considerable life into the plays during the game. The aggressive work of the 'varsity was unusually brilliant and the men seemed to prevent the second from gaining whenever they wished. Beale and Foster were again tried at quarterback and again Foster did the better work. He puts a certain amount of dash into the plays which Beale does not and he rarely fumbles the ball.
The 'varsity started off with the ball and it took ten minutes to score a touchdown, as the second eleven secured the ball several times through fumbles. Hayes made the second touchdown after he had made several good gains behind excellent interference. The men lined up as follows:
FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN.
A. Brewer, r.e. l.e., Sever.
