The work of the University football squad in secret practice yesterday afternoon was light, as is usually the case after a hard game. Most of the men who played in the Dartmouth game on Saturday were allowed to engage only in preliminary work and in a long signal practice. Brill did not report, having left Cambridge to vote, and Starr was not on the field as it was thought best to give him a day's rest. Meier was out but did only very light work on account of an injured arm. Montgomery and Jones were on the field but did not enter the line-up.
In a 15-minute scrimmage between the first and second elevens the first eleven was able to score only one touchdown. This was owing to the exceptional strength with which the second team played the work of Carr, Pierce and Upham being especially good. For the first time in several weeks Derby was in the line-up, playing at right tackle on the first team where he did some excellent work in rushing the ball.
The first team kicked off to Upham, who ran the ball in from the 20 to the 35-yard line. The second eleven rushed with good gains to the centre of the field, where the first team held for downs. The first team gained 6 yards but lost the ball on a fumble, after which the second eleven again rushed with good gains, carrying the ball to the first team's 30-yard line. Here the first team again held for downs and Nichols punted to the middle of the field. The first team secured the ball on a fumble on the second's 50-yard line, and the ball was then carried down the field with consistent gains until Oveson went over for the touchdown.
