The 'varsity practice yesterday afternoon consisted of two games, each of 25 minutes' length; the first with '96, and the second with '95. During the first contest, Arnold, who was playing fullback on '96, broke his collar bone on a plunge into the centre.
The 'varsity eleven, as it played against '96, was about the strongest. Mackie played in his old place at guard for the first time this season, completing what is likely to be the final makeup of the line.
The 'varsity started in with a rush, and just six rushes sent Brewer across the line for the first touchdown. No goals were kicked. Ninety-six never made their requisite gain and as soon as the 'varsity got the ball they carried it quickly down the field again. Wrightington and Brewer made long gains round the ends. The defence of the 'varsity was splendid. The interference was ragged now and then, but a great improvement on the whole. Waters and Emmons were particularly good in blocking off. Wrenn played finely at quarterback, passing accurately and quickly, and following the backs better than at any time this year. It was a walk-over for the 'varsity and too easy to afford much practice beyond perfecting the interference.
