Freshmen Tackle Rain-Soaked Dummies

Dummy tackling was inaugurated in Freshman football practice yesterday. The squad, still numbering close to 100 were put through a stiff drill in tacking as well as the more elementary work of passing and staring. During the first part of the afternoon the kickers received instruction in punting, while the backs practiced catching the ball. The wet field and slippery balls necessarily slowed up the work considerably. Coach J. F. Ryan '19 has not yet divided his squad up into elevens and no formal scrimmages have taken place.
