TEAM IN GOOD SHAPE TO BATTLE WASHBURN
Sharp Scrimage with Fresh men Thursday Shows Fast Plays of Varsity
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 17, 1918.
If sharpness of the scrimmage with the freshmen can be taken as any criterion, the Varsity is going to put an upwelling hard fight against the Washburn team at Toeka Saturday.
The team worked hard, under the direction of the conches, Thursday afternoon, and to them, through their cold football atmosphere seemed to come a snappy speed, the "punch" that the veterans recall has had in practice, which has not characterized the practice and games so far this season.
Captain Laslett gave the guards and tackles some stuff individual work in holding the line, and the players passes and open formations. After this the Varsity squad was made up into two eleven, and both sides took part.
The freshmen scrimmaged against the Varsity for some forty-five minutes, and made appreciable progress. but the Varsity was weakened by the fact that some of the best men on the field were out of part of the mix-up for fear of injury.
The men were coached carefully against offside offenses, all overstepping being called and reprimand, and the great deal of the time, and seemed to have the bit in his teeth, as it took several of the first-year men to stop him after he got started. The team had ability and skill in finding the house.
The only criticism of the men is that too long a time is taken after scrimmage in getting set for the next play. Wood and Lupher, who have the calls on the quarter positions will probably run them through faster in the game than they did in practice.
