The two weeks of spring football practice ended with a forty-minute scrimmage in a drizzling rain on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon, team A defeating team B, 18 to 6. This score is reckoned under the new rules, each touchdown counting 6 points. In spite of the inclemency of the weather, the men showed marked improvement as a result of their short period of practice. The teams give promise of developing a speedy game under the new rules. The defence of both teams was consistently good, and though team A was the more aggressive during the first period, team B developed a sudden strong driving power in the second period which resulted in its only touchdown.
The summary: Score--Team A, 18; Team B, 6. Touchdowns--Maricle, Lawson, Steele, Gardner. Referee, W. M. E. Whitelock '13. Lineman and timer, T. K. Richards '15.
