Vorderburg, Marvin FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The University freshman football team this year was made up of a number of players who graduated large from local and neighboring high school elevens. Coached by Roy Hudson, for- i mer All-American backfield star, the . team was good enough to offer the var- 'A sity, Rockets some stiff competition each . time the two teams scrimmaged. In - scrimmage games with various high ' school teams, the frosh clicked as a com- bination and seemed to adapt them- selves easily to the system used here. On the basis of their performances . with the freshman team, most of the players are slated to play on the first or second varsity teams next fall. Sev- eral of the first year men impressed Coach Nicholson with their ability, and may beat out some veterans in the bat- tle for positions on the 1934 team. Freshman football has been Q . given a higher rating here than ever before. For the first time at the University a coach has been obtained expressly for the freshmen. Numerals were awarded to the players for the first time also. -I70- X
