30 FRESHMAN OUT FOR SPRING FOOTBALL DRILL

Spring Practice Begun for Yardlings Yesterday as Varsity Starts Next Thursday

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

About 30 Yardling gridiron hopefuls and a smattering of Sophomores were on hand yesterday afternoon to greet Coach Dick Harlow and his assistants in the first official session of spring practice in preparation for the 1939 pigskin parade.

Thorough training in fundamentals will be the story of this spring's activities for the Freshmen who will be joined by the other Varsity squad candidates next Thursday. Dick will send the boys through their paces from four to six in the afternoons, and all spring work will be completed by May 1.

Captain Torby Macdonald, Ken Booth, Austie Harding, and Tim Russell were the upperclassmen on hand yesterday to help Messrs. Harlow, Clark, Fesler, Snyder, Struck, Colwell, and Stahley in their afternoon chores.

The collection of thirty-odd first year men who reported for the initial drill just about represents the numeral winners of last fall with but a few notable exceptions. Massive Vern Miller and his tackle running-mate Tom Gardiner were not on hand, but both are expected soon. Other absentees were Charley Spreyer, Franny Lee, and Harry Tine, all of whom are expected to report for duty very shortly.
