Neither team was able to go anywhere overland and sitrungely enough the came thing applied to their attempts through the air Fumbles were the best ground gaining plays ernployed by either team They made a I habit of swapping them It must be sa'd in extenuation of their performance however that they have not had much chance to develop normally The Reserves have spent all their practice time In showing the varsity about what Tulane or Gem-141a or somebody else was going to hand It the next baturday Consequently the Reserve know all plays better than their own and none well enough to work against anybody The Freshmen on the other hand have had nothing but defense play endured In behalf of strengthening the varsity attack So It Is not surprising that they too have little to show when rushing the ball The best feature of the game was the punting Red King of the Reserve and Larry Burton of the Frosh whaled the ball around In a fashion that might have caueed the varsity coaches to
