PRACTICE YESTERDAY.

The work yesterday was light and consisted chiefly of signal practice on the scrub football field. This practice showed some improvement, but the men were still slow in starting and getting into the play. After the signal practice the two elevens lined up on the University field and played a ten minute half. The second held twice for downs and prevented the first from scoring. The second was able to make several good gains through the line. The playing of the first eleven was careless and lacked dash. The linemen were slow in charging and the backs did not get into the plays quickly.

Baldwin and Lee were in the line-up and played well. Lee made several excellent openings, and worked well with the other linemen. Baldwin played with a great deal of snap and directed the plays quickly. Parmelee for the second eleven was effective in backing up the line.
