THE FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SEASON

Opening the season in rather a dubious fashion by losing to Exeter, 27-0, the 1919 football team was yet more successful than any other since the 1916 freshmen went through the season with a record of four victories and two tie games. The record for this year was four victories, one tie, and one defeat.

More preparatory stars answered the call for practice this year than usual, and Coach Richard W. Redfield '15 had no difficulty in picking a heavy, fast team. After two weeks of practice, the freshmen journeyed to Exeter, returning with a 27-0 score against them. The following week 1919 again displayed their cardinal weakness, a lack of teamwork, in the game with St. Peters, which the Green won, 32-0. The yearlings then appear to have found themselves, registering successive victories against Worcester, 20-0; Andover, 26-0; and Syracuse, 6-0. Dean, always a hard proposition, permitted only a 7-7 tie on her home grounds.

Cannell, who was elected captain late in the season, seems to be the best proposition for varsity quarter next year from the 1919 team. The Everett man proved a good leader, capable of instilling confidence in his men. In the line, Cunningham of Dallas, Tex., and Sheeler of Johnstown, Pa., are the most aggressive and powerful, with close competitors in Bevan, Neely, and Palmer. Back of the line, Whelan and Shelburne showed the greatest evidence of power.
