Boal was able to run through signals yesterday without any trouble, and unless he meets with new injuries, he will be able to play in the Pennsylvania game. Daly and Hallowell were given a day's rest. Although yesterday the work was rather light, owing to the stiffness of the players, the practice today will be long and hard...
