University interest during the past week has centered chiefly in the daily practice of the university football team.

Miller, on the other end, was also of good service in getting the ball on fumbles, and his tackles were hard and sure. At centre Nourse showed up well, not only in holding his position, but also in getting down rapidly under punts. He made several good tackles...
