Giving the lie to a widespread rumor which found its way into the supplement of a local basic English magazine, gridiron coach dick Harlow matched two teams out of the spring football candidates at Soldiers Field yesterday.
The advantages of such a game over ordinary practice are "infinite," according to Harlow, in that movies are taken which can later be analyzed, and all the mistakes noted be ear marked for correction. It also, affords an opportunity for the effectiveness of new plays to be determined.
So that the game would not interfere with the Saturday sports schedule, which includes three varsity engagements as well as a J.V. Game, it was not postponed despite a cold rain that left a muddy, puddled playing surface.
Squad Divided
The squad was divided into a Red Team and White Team for the game, the Reds representing a tentative number one outfit. The Reds won the game by a score of 13 to 2 although they were matched on equal terms by the Whites during most of the play.
Matter of Fact
As a matter of fact, it was the Whites who drew first blood, when in the second period they nailed Ralph Petrillo behind his own goal line for a safety on a punt return. Petrillo exacted revenge only a few minutes later when he scampered 70 yards for a touchdown to make the count 6 to 2.
Ned Dewey added the extra point on a place kick.
In the third period, Petrillo tossed a pass to John Foorenni, the play carrying thirty yards down to the White four yard line. From this point the ball was bucked over by Ken O'Donnell. Dewey's try for the extra point was hurried, went wide.
In the fourth period, numerous substitutions were made giving everyone a chance to get the feel of the ball.
