Forty-one candidates for the University football team reported for the first spring practice, held at Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. Of these men, thirteen were backfield candidates, seven were ends, eight were centres, and thirteen were guards and tackles. The work was very light, and consisted of punting, falling on the ball, and forward passing for the backfield men, and starting, waddling, and passing for the line.
Coach Wingate Rollins '16 was in charge of practice, and gave his especial attention to the quarterbacks. He was assisted by W. B. Snow, Jr., '18, who coached the linemen, F. J. O'Brien '14 in charge of the ends, and H. H. Dadmun '17, who instructed the centres.
Another light work-out will be held this afternoon, when it is expected that additional candidates will come out. All men should report, dressed and ready to play at 3.30 o'clock today.
