...second time this week the University football squad was given a comparatively light day's workout yesterday afternoon. There was no hard scrimmage, but teams A and B lined up against each other for a short while, each in turn being instructed in both offensive and defensive work, while at the same time the coaches corrected the faults of individuals.
