FOOT BILL SCORESecond Team Proved aSurprise to the Tigers.SOME STAR WORK WAS DONE.Botorter, Wittmann, Miller,Featheringham, Fisher andOthers Showed Great Format Line Kicking and TacklingGame Proved More Beneficial to the Team Than aScheduled Game.“Say, jes look at dat guy carry dewhole push, would yez.“ “MaybeJulius didn't hit that line hard. | ‘ * Great, Mully, great! ’ ’ These and other exclamations of approval couldbe heard from the side lines emanating from the small boys as well as theolder fans Saturday afternoon during j the practice game between the Mas-and the second teamthe hospital grounds, as Botoner plowed his way through for a ten- j vard train with about an even dozenhanging to him, when Julius Witt- j,ann hit the opposite end for a long kin and when Mully Miller madeone of his characteristic bucks at cen-]jter.]A large crowd was on hand to see ^ the Tigers work out, and were wellpleased with the exhibition. A secondlt;team of about biteen men was lined x up against the first team and the j work was more beneficial to the teamIthan would have been a regularly ischeduled game, although the spectators were probably not as interested. Several candidates were tried outfor the end and tackle positions while c Hium? was nlaved at center and showed 1proficiency in passing the ball and i breaking through the line. Goehler, I ^who played at left end, is devleoping j a into a star tackier, and will be valua- ( a ble either in that position or at quar- j t terback, where he will be tried this tweek. 1At quarterback Wert showed good ehant rmnf.a in crnnH 1judgment ana ran oacz panes in gooashape. Go .drich at left half hit the f line hard and ran ends well. He was tforced to lay up for repairs towards the close of the practice. Feathering- fham at left tackle is a tower of'strength to the team and was in everyplay.After half an hour of signal workthe teams lined up for scrimmage, the ? t first team kicking off to Wiseman, ofthe second team, who managed to geteback several yaids before being downed. End runs and bucks nettedaethe second team only slight gains and11lithe ball was punted down the field to •okWert, who was playing quarterback for the first team. The Tigers soonncarried the ball down to the secondteam’s goal line where a fumble pre-!vvented a score. The second team car-dried the bal1 back for a distance ofnabout twenty yards. Drop kicks andofumbles were responsible for the factathat no scoring was done by the bigteam, although it would have beenPPeasy at almost any time to buck the ; ball over the line. Botoner at right iguard was simply invincible, and d when called upon to carry the ball u was never stopped short of a ten-yard gain. Wittmanu, Mul'y Miller, Cos-1ntello, Goehler, Jack Miller, Bast, ^ Wert, Featheringham, Goodrich, Bo-toner and Haag were tried out on the ^ first team. On the second team FritzMiller, Myers, Burkhart, Albright,PreShertzer, Nolan, Wiseman, Darby, Fisher, Wert and several whose names could not be learned lined up audf 0their work was a surprise to the speo- j tators as well as the first team.Fisher, in particular, played a stardIIgame and will bear watching, his bucks and tackles being hard and low. ^
