Secret signal practice and the regular routine work were held on the old field previous to the scrimmage, five teams running through the rehearsal of signals.

He expects to resume his position at left tackle today. Stillman and LeGore took a rest yesterday and Ainsworth was shifted to the second team, Waite taking his place at left halfback.
