("Peck") Griffin (his former national doubles championship partner), seemed about to dismiss two other Californians, the omnipresent Kinsey brothers, from the doubles.

For about 15 minutes the backs and ends had punting practice--Foster, Newhall, Burr, and Lincoln dong the kicking. Burr's punts were excellent and should be of great service to the team on Saturday. In order to make the men start together there was a long signal drill by the first two elevens. Later the University team lined up against the second team for defensive work...
