After the University eleven had finished its practice the second team also had a short period of signal work. Parker and Starr tried goal kicking for some time, for, although there were no posts, it was possible to get the right elevation and direction by kicking the ball into the net. Burr was given a rest on account of a slight cold. Hall, Kennard, and Newhall tried a number of drop kicks...

As the scrimmage on Tuesday was very satisfactory, the men were not required to go through another hard period of play yesterday, the time being devoted instead to signal practice. While the second eleven was running through signals and doing some work on the forward pass, Inches, Peirce, and Robinson, under the direction of Coach Cutts, practiced charging and catching the ball on the run. The ends were given...
