...practice of the 'varsity football squad yesterday afternoon was shorter than usual, although more spirited. Wheeler, Bouve and Frank Shaw were in the line-up for the first time, while Donald and Haughton both reappeared on the field, although they did not play. Flershem, of last year's '98 class team, came out to try for end. Dibblee, who was tried at quarter-back, did poorly, being responsible for most of the fumbling on the fourth eleven...
Last year's '98 team was strong on offensive work but the line was comparatively weak. This year they should also have a strong line, judging from the number of excellent linemen now with the 'Varsity squad, such as Hoague, Hennen, Seaver, Marvin and Woodward. Farley will have hard work to make a good team as many of last year's eleven are now with the 'Varsity. Haughton, Lloyd, Cochrane and Richardson will be much missed. There are, however, a number of good substitutes to take their places. '97 starts work this afternoon on Soldiers Field, and '99 begins Wednesday...
...whole squad must be dressed to play today...
Several men who had not put their names down at the meeting came out, increasing the squad considerably. The practice was rather ragged, but the men played with a good deal of snap and for the first day's work it was decidedly encouraging. No regular coaches superintended the work, but Crane, who has coached the freshman elevens of the last two years, will probably be on hand today...
...Whole squad out at 2.45 sharp...
