...Haven, Conn., October 30, 1907.--The Yale university team held two scrimmages today of twenty minutes each, one with the freshmen, and the other with the second team. The practice was very encouraging, the first team scoring twice on the second, and three times on the 1911 team.

The rest of the scrimmage was almost entirely taken up with punting...
