Caner '17, both of whom have been given a rest during the last week, were dressed for practice yesterday afternoon, and were run through signals with the other members of the squad.

Horween '18, who was substituted at this point for T. C. Thacher, Jr., '18, punted from behind his goal line, Mitchell receiving the ball on the 50-yard line.
