Captain Fish was not on the field and his place in the line was taken at first by Bush and later by L. Withington, the latter being replaced at left guard by Perkins. For an hour previous to the opening of the gates for the graduate and undergraduate parade, the University team was drilled in signals, and a "dummy" scrimmage against the second team was held.
