There was a good stiff work-out on Tuesday, with the First battering the Scrub in an endeavor to build up an attack and not succeeding especially well. Mr. Cade used two sets of backs and saw them both subdued by the Second. On Wednesday and Thursday hard work was made impossible by the heat and the coach counted the days as practically lost. Friday was more moderate and, despite Jake’s disapproval, he put the squad through a full session. The Scrub got trounced roundly that afternoon, the First putting over three touchdowns and kicking goals after two of them. The First played without the services of Patten, at center, and Ball, at quarter. Patten was nursing a wrenched knee sustained on Wednesday, and Ted was favoring an ankle which was causing Jake much perplexity and some worry. First scored twice on plunges at the line varied by sweeps and once on a short pass, Couch to Kruger. The Second never got nearer the opponent’s goal than the twenty-four yards, from where, after two forward-passes had failed, she attempted a drop-kick only to have it blocked. Both teams were pretty well played-out by the end and Jake shook his head dismally over them. Bert saw his share of work that week, alternating with Keys in the second set of backs. He did well on several occasions, not so well on others. Once through the line or around an end, Bert could be counted on to make good gains, but lack of weight handicapped him frequently when the play called for beef and brawn. On such occasions Larry Keys was the better of the two. On defense, however, Bert was showing himself more than Larry’s equal, for he seemed to have an uncanny ability to tell where the play was coming through and a speed not possessed by his rival. He was confident that he had improved in his playing a good deal in the course of the season, but he was equally aware of his shortcomings as a line plunger and inclined to believe, with Chick, that he would have to wait until next year to really make good.
