It was a drizzly but far from dreary practice at Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon, as the A and B elevens run through one of the most successful scrimmages this year. Both teams scored once.
Captain Torbie Macdonald was again the offensive star of the day, but he was forced to share the honors with his up and coming Sophomore understudy, Ed Buckley. Torble scored for the A team on a brilliant fifty yard run; Buckley tossed to a classmate, Greely Summers, for the B team's tally.

Six Ends Even
In yesterday's scrimmage George Downing and Jim Devine teamed on the A team, while Henry Vander Eb and Bartow Kelly were stationed on the B flanks.
