SINCE the installation of the one-year residence rule, the Freshmen team has taken the place of the scrub team in giving the Varsity its workouts. The Varsity team of 1911 was a great team, and no small amount of their prowess was due to the fact that they constantly lined up against the husky lads of the first-year class.
   The Freshmen of the scrub team are always the men who do most for the Varsity. When a team "bucks" as big a team every night during the entire season as the Varsity, they certainly do nearly as much for their Alma Mater as the "N" men, but they must content themselves with a dirty jersey from the manager and hard knocks from the first team, in place of good care and glory. However, the Freshmen have their time coming. Of the championship team of 1911, every member had played at least one year on the Freshman or scrub team, and four or five had played two years. The same has been true for several years. Members of the Freshmen team make up the Varsity of the years to come, and the Freshmen who worked so hard last fall have a very good opportunity to make good in the future.
   From the Freshmen team of the past year it is a hard matter to state just who have the best chances of making the Varsity. They all played good ball and were faithful in practice. Mastin and Hawkins at the ends, Allan at center, the Fauts brothers as guards and Obbie Myers at tackle, will all make strong bids for the line positions. In the back field Howard, Halligan, Beck and Dalametre will all be strong contenders for regular places. Howard and Halligan are especially good punters and this faculty, together with their playing ability, will make them very strong candidates. There are a great many others who deserve mention for faithful work last season, but there is not sufficient space.
