...first scrimmage of the season for the 1924 football players was held yesterday afternoon after the usual stiff training work had been run off. Team A was given the ball in the center of the field and tried a series of line plays as a start-off, but Team B received the ball on downs. A successful forward pass took the ball well down the field, but a second pass was gathered in by a Team A man. The wind favored the first team in the kicking duel which now followed, and left Jenkins in a position to kick...
...yearlings have a promising looking bunch of kickers. Larrabee and Gates are showing up well as ends, and the line is heavy with Grew, Donovan, Holder and Hobson as the most likely candidates. Kernan seems to be the outstanding center. In the backfield some of the best material is evident in Carneigie, Jerkins and McGhurkey.

Every year sees more and more of an increase in the good work done by its members from reception--as, for instance, that one recently given to foreign students--to University Team and the relief of some of the hopeless conditions in the slums...

Straight football again predominated; no more versatility on the offense was apparent than against Holy Cross; and Dr. Bull must have profited little more in watching Saturday's game than did Coach Jones at the Holy Cross struggle. Twice only the Crimson quarterbacks tried forward passes, Buell slipping off to the side to take...
...other important change of the week is the displacement of Brown by Hubbard. Woods seems to be the only fixture of the three center men, and the men who will play on the other side of Havemeyer (or possibly Tierney) will not be settled until almost the time of the Princeton game. The wing positions also seem unsettled, with Mscomber reasonably safe, while Gaston, Kane, Clark and Finley worry about the other extremity...
