...charging and dodging practice. The same four elevens which had previously practiced together were then given signal practice in preparation for the short scrimmage which followed. No tackling was allowed by the coaches and no penalties were inflicted, the purpose of the scrimmage being merely to try out the forward passes and to see how the team worked against a light defense.
