a gonoral avorago for quarters which
was maintained throughout tho gamo,
tho final count boing 117.
Showed Great Promise.
Tho gamo was intensely interesting
to thoso thoro to seo moro than a sin
glo football gamo, in that it rovealed
not only what romarkablo progross
Coach Stiohm has made to dato, but
gave Indication of what may bo ex
pected 'in tho futuro from Buch baak
flold mon as Purdy, Racoly, Potter,
Gibson and Russell, who aro playing
their first year of Varsity football, and
sonsequontly havo been unknown
quantities undor flro. Of those flvo,
every man showed up llko a Btar, and
it would seem that Coach Stiohm
should havo llttlo difficulty in building
from thoso flvo, tho Prank brothers
and Warner, a doublo backfield that
will cross any goal lino in tho west.
Racely Well Named.
- Racoly is a converted track athlete,
and can do a hundred on tho cinders
In 10 1-5 seconds or less. Ho is
scarcely that fast in football togs, but
LOFGREN.
Sturdy right end, who showed up
well at receiving forward passes.
sorvod aoat section of tho grandstand

the flrst tlmo uIbo that the football
fanatics of town and college had op
portunlty to seo tho 1911 machino in
action, and a goodly crowd filled both
bleachers and stands.
Endurance Contest.
Promptly at 3:30 Referee Rathbun
blow tho whistle, and the gamo was
on. It was an onduranco contest from
tho flrst. Four plays landed tho pig
skin across tho final chalk mark in
loss than three-quarters of a minute
after tho wnlBtlo blow. Gains camo
quickly and for long distances, Owj)n

to run off and leavo tho opposing back
field. Racely weighs about 140
pounds, and 1b Bolidly built.
Purdy and Potter are woll known
to campus, followers of the gamo
through tholr work a year ago. Thoy
aro florco fast runners and oxport
opon flold dodgers, as was ,ypry ovl
dent Saturday. GIbBon and Russell
aro hard workers, always trying and
usually successful. Gibson is especial
ly valuable for his punting, and "Rub
soil for his oxcellent interference. Ho
has a knack for piling up opposing
ends that should help some.
Veterans 8tar.
Asido from theso now mon thoro aro
of course, tho Frank brothers and
Jorry Warner, tho veterans of last
year's irivincibles. All- threo aro starB
of tho flrst magnitude, and all through
tho gamo made touchdown after touch
down v with marvellous ease, Ernie
Frank pulling off tho most spectacular
play when ho took a kickoff tho length
of the flold for a fiver.
