...afternoon, was given no preliminary work other than signal practice. The line-up against the second eleven, however, was longer than usual and consisted of two 20-minute halves. In offensive work a slight improvement was apparent. This was not, however, manifest in the defense, as the second eleven, although weak, carried the ball for long gains. The University team scored three touchdowns during the scrimmage, two in the first half and one in the second. Mills did not take part in the practice. Meier and Hurley were on the field but did not engage in the scrimmage owing...

Off-side penalties were imposed continually on the first eleven for charging too soon. Although both the second team and the substitutes played a strong defensive game holding the first eleven several times for downs, on the offensive they were unable to make any consistent gains...
