Coaches Herrick and Haines superintended the practice, trying one innovation when men in University B were temporarily moved so they could see faults in others which the coaches were trying to rectify.

These courts will be reserved exclusively for the University team, and their construction is practically completed, except for a little resurfacing in the spring, to put them in first-rate condition.
