The University eleven yesterday held its last scrimmage before the Pennsylvania game. With almost all the regular men on the University eleven, it was able in a thirty minute line-up to score only once against a weak second team, and was in turn scored upon. The line charged too high and on the defense was almost powerless. Except in the last four or five minutes, there was an absence of fight so that long gains were impossible. The first twenty minutes of scrimmage practice was secret.
Shortly after the first kick-off several exchanges of punts ended with the ball in the University team's possession on the second eleven's 45-yard line. In five rushes a touchdown was made.
The second eleven secured its touchdown by obtaining the ball on Nichols's fumble of a punt within 35 yards of the University goal line, and making several long gains through the University team's line.
Hurley ran back the kick-off 20 yards to the 40-yard line. Just before the call of time Nichols went through the line for 25 yards and Mills for 30.
