...University football squad was given a long scrimmage in the Stadium yesterday afternoon. The work of the first squad was rather lifeless; the line was slow and the backs failed to pick their holes. Smith was not dressed and it has been decided that he cannot play in scrimmages until Monday. His injury is not serious, however.

The second 1912 crew has advanced more rapidly during the past week, and several men in the boat show good promise of developing later. There were important changes in the make-up of these two boats. Faxon, of the second crew, replaced Voorhees as coxswain of the first crew on Saturday. Balch and Hoar replaced Parker and Frothingham at Nos. 2 and 3 respectively...
