FIVE TEAMS ON FIELD

TIGER SQUAD ARRIVES

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

About 300 students assembled in the Yard yesterday afternoon and marched to the Stadium behind the Regimental Band to witness the first open practice of the football team. Teams A, B, and C, the second team and the second Freshmen all ran through signals at the same time, making it an impressive sight to see five elevens on the field together. During this signal practice the team, individually and collectively, were cheered and several of the songs were practised. Team B of the Freshman squad was then sent in against the second team in a regular game.

M. C. Sherman '20, received the kickoff and ran it back 40 yards before he was downed. The Freshmen tried plunges, passes and hidden ball plays, but were unable to advance and lost the ball on downs, after which both sides punted back and forth. C. E. Works '19 then intercepted a forward pass and ran to the 20-yard line but the seconds could make no headway and the ball was the Freshmen's. J. S. Higgins '20 got off a long punt which rolled to the second team's 30-yard line, but the seconds had succeeded in working the ball back to the middle of the field when the game was declared over.

Coaches Show Team Work.

The coaches then gave a sample of running through signals and L. H. Leary '05 made a "touchdown" on a forward pass from P. D. Haughton '99. The coaches lined up as follows: L. H. Leary '05 and S. M. Felton '13, ends; R. W. P. Brown '98 and G. G. Browne '10, tackles; R. T. Fisher '12 and J. L. Knox '98, guards; D. C. Parmenter '13, centre; M. J. Logan '15, quarterback; H. R. Hardwick '15, F. J. Bradlee '15 and P. D. Haughton '99, backfield.

Before the arrival of the undergraduates, teams A and B were sent through a short, sharp scrimmage, lasting only a Few minutes. Neither side scored but the showing of both teams was good. This scrimmage was followed by a long signal drill and kicking practice which terminated on the arrival of the parade.

P. M. Hollister '13, who was a substitute end on the teams of 1911 and 1912, was on the field yesterday afternoon with the regular coaching staff.
