The work of the three upperclass football squads yesterday showed some improvement over last week's practice. There was less fumbling and more team work, and the men put more dash and spirit into the plays.
The Seniors showed the most improvement, and played much harder than the other teams. The men followed the interference in good shape, and there was very much less fumbling than usual. There were enough men out to make up two teams and the line up lasted for about twenty minutes. Tomorrow the Seniors will play a practice game with the Freshmen.
Twenty-seven men reported for the Junior practice. The playing in the line-up was hard, but was marred by fumbling and constant mistaking of signals. The tackling was good, and several times after a runner had broken through he was overtaken and downed. The men did not play together well, and very often the runner did not follow his interference at all. The Juniors will not play a game until they line up against the Seniors on Friday afternoon in the class series.
More than twenty men were out for the Sophomore team. The practice consisted mainly of catching and running back punts, and the fumbling was very bad. The punting itself was good and the men got down the field well, but often missed the runner. In the short line up some improvement was evident, and the backs ran around the ends with good interference but could make little gain in bucking the line. Games will be played this afternoon with the Cambridge High School, and on Thursday with the Cambridge Manual Training School. The game with the Freshmen in the class series will be played next Tuesday.
