...practice yesterday afternoon was extremely light, there being no scrimmage. For the first 16 minutes nearly all the men had kicking practice, Burr trying punts, Wendell goals from placement, and Newhall, Starr, and Kennard drop kicks. After a few minutes of line-up between the first and second teams in which the University eleven was identical with the one which will play today, three teams were formed for signal practice...
