For about thirty minutes yesterday
attemoon the varsity was lined up
against the first-year men The only
gilt-edge football to be seen was dur

the varsity pushed the freshmen back

But Few Rooters Out.
uotlitr discouraging feature was
tlie small attendance After the rous
ing, enthusiastic football rally of yes
terday morning a large number of root
ers were expected to be on the side
lines Hut where four or five hundred
were expectd, only about a liundrd
and fifty were among those present.
Only forty (actual count) co-eds were
there Inasmuch as the scrimmage was
staged for their special delectation,
Coach Sliehrn was disappointed at the
suiallness of their turnout. Next Thurs
day and Friday practices are to be
open and every student should see to
it that last night's miserable showing
Is not repeated Pep up and come out.
