SCRIMMAGE WITH BOSTON COLLEGE FOR INFORMALS

The Boston College football squad scrimmaged against both the informal University and the Freshman elevens yesterday afternoon. The 1921 team was the first to line up against the Boston squad. 1921 punted soon after receiving the kick-off, and Boston College started a running attack. No gains could be made, however, and the Freshmen quickly recovered the ball. E. H. Stillman and R. S. Humphrey by line plunges ran the ball to the five yard mark. From here it took three downs before Stillman could score. The ball was then given to Boston on the Freshman 25 yard mark. On the final play of the scrimmage Boston scored on a long forward pass. The Freshmen lined up as follows:

King, Anderson, l.e.; Faxon, l.t.; Olmstead, l.g.; Cabot, c.; Gaston, r.g.; Sedgwick, Roberts, r.t.; Lee, Davis, r.e.; Tenney, q.b.; MacDonell, l.h.b.; Stillman, r.h.b.; Humphrey, f.b.

Touchdown for Informals.

The informals then took the field against the visiting eleven. Unable to gain after receiving the kick-off, Boston punted, the informals getting the ball on the 50 yard line. Two first downs by A. Horween '20, on plunges through centre, followed by a long forward pass, L. Crosscup '19 to B. S. Blanchard '20, gave the informals a six point lead.

Resuming the game from the University 35 yard mark, the Boston team made 20 yards on a forward pass, and then tried for a field goal. The kick was partially blocked, however, and went as a touchback. For the remainder of the first 25 minute session play was in the middle of the field.

The informals presented the following line up:

Bowen Steele, l.e.; Woods, Philbin, l.t.; Stubbs, l.g.; Fishback, W. Hoffman, c.; Thorndike, r.g.; Rudman, r.t.; Whitney, r.e.; Works, R. Hoffman, q.b.; Blanchard, Weden, l.h.b.; Crosscup, r.h.b.; Horween, Blanchard, f.b.

Brickley Instructed Drop-Kickers.

C. E. Brickley '15, captain of the 1914 University eleven, and present coach of the Boston College squad, instructed the drop kickers of both University squads for a short time. After the scrimmage, he expressed his opinion of the University elevens. "The Freshman team looks better than the informals. The line is especially strong, and the quarterbacks show good generalship. It is one of the best Freshmen elevens I have seen.

"The difference between former University teams and the present informals is easily seen, for the small squad is hampering the coaches. Thorndike in the line and R. Hoffman and Horween among the backs are very fast and strong players. Coaches Rollins and Wallance have done remarkably well with the material at their disposal."
