MEDICS MEET DEFEAT
Second Team Gives Omaha Doc
tors Something to Do A
Good Exhibition Game
Other Notes.
SECOND TEAM, 17. - MEDICS, 0.
The scrubs, following the example
set by the 'varsity, defeated the Oma
ha Medics Saturday by a score of 17 to
0. Although the score was one-sided,
the game was by no means an easy
one, especially In the second half when
the second team was unable to score
against the doctors. Line bucking
failed to win the scrubs any large gains
and most of the work was done by end
inns. Victor Englehart and Johnson
made large gains, seldom failing to
make five or ten yards. Engelhart,
who was lately given the Blgnals of
the 'varsity, played a star game and
gave remarkable evidence of his ability
to play football. He is quick and sure.
And well adapted to an end position.
Eager and Marsh were good ground
gainers. Eager being credited with two
of the three touchdowns. Marsh had
his collar-bone fractured in the last
scrimmage of the first half as the re
sult of an ugly tackle, and his place
was taken by Meyers.
It was the scrubs' game throughout
the first half. The doctors had the
ball In their possession only twice, and
then lost it on downs. In the second
half they found the scrubs line weak,
and went through for large gains, near
ly scoring a touchdown.
THE GAME.
The Medics choose the north goal
and kicked off to Hutchins, who re
turned five yards. Marsh and Eager
made good gains, and Johnson skirted
the end for twenty-five yards. Rapid
plays advanced the ball fifty yards In
nine downs, and Eager went around
left end ten yards for a touchdown
at the corner of the field. A free
kick failed of any good result.
The doctors kicked off to Morris on
the five-yard line, and he followed his
interference for fifteen yards. Engel
hart made a good gain around the end,
followed b Marsh and Eager with
three yards apiece. Engelhard failed
to gain And Newton punted for the
first time. The Medics lost on downs.
Eagei made seven yards, Engelhart
fifteen, Johnson ten, Hutchins threo
and Marsh one. Eager went around
ie end fifteen yards for a touchdown,
fifoal was kicked. Walton returned ten
yards from the kiekoff, and by long
end runs the ball was quickly advanced
to the four-yard line. Hutchins went
through right tackle for the third and
last touchdown. Time was called be
fore much more work could be done.
Marsh ended the playing by making
ten yards around right end, but was
unfortunate enough to break hlB collar
bone.
SECOND HALF.
The scrubs kicked off, and the doc
tors made ten yards, but lost the ball.
The scrubs lost on downs and the ball
was advanced far enough by the
Medics for a place kick, which was
hlockrd, the Medics regaining the ball.
Not nt all discouraged, they soon tried
the seme thing and again failed.
The doctors secured the ball on the
twenty-five yard line as a penalty for
offside playing, and again were unsuc
cessful In a try for goal. They were
forced to punt and Johnson secured
the ball. The scrubs punted In their
turn. Time was called with the ball In
(he scrubs' possession.

FOOTBALL NOTES.
The squad met for practice Friday
and Saturday as usual. Friday's prac
tice was taken up principally with
punting, and neither side scored. V.
Enqelhart was worked out at end. Un
der the direct care of Pani.er he Is
showing up well, and will make a
good sub for the position.
Only three more days of practice re
main before the final game of the sea
noil, and everyone Interested In ath
letics should make It a pi.it to come
o. t and watch practice for p. while
every evening. Friday night a few
spectators got up a little enthusiasm
and gave the yell once or twice before
the scrimmage game. That is a step in
the right direction and the spirit
should be encouraged. Many people In
the university do not eveu know that
thru is a game played on the field
every night. Moreover, it is a good
game, and one that those interested In
the team cannot fall to appreciate.
The team of '02 needs your support
for only four days more, but it needs
It bad during that time. Come out
and show the men that you are Inter
ested in the way they play ball.
Northwestern is playing better ball
every day and the chances for a good
game continue to Improve. Saturday's
game resulted in a score of 17 to 0 In
favor of Illinois, but the first half was
played without a score and Illinois was
forced to fight for every yard gained.
The results of last year's football
games in the east were somewhat dif
ferent from those of last Saturday.
Harvard made 22 against Yale and held
her opponents down to 0; Northwest
ern made 17 scores against Illinois,
while the latter gained only 11; Dart
mouth shut Brown out entirely and
made 22 scores, while this year she
made only 12 points to Brown's 6.
