The University football squad had a very long secret practice yesterday afternoon, which was devoted to work on some new plays and to teaching the men how to tackle a man in the open field after a punt. There was no scrimmage. Burr, Hall, Newhall, Parker and Starr had a long kicking practice, trying goals from placement, drop kicks and punts. Burr's punts and place kicks were excellent. After the secret practice the first squad was divided up into two elevens for signal practice and work on the forward pass. All sorts of line rushes were tried, and later a few goals from placement behind the line of scrimmage. Lockwood, Foster and Newhall rushed the ball well against a team of substitutes, and worked the forward pass to excellent advantage. The teams lined up in secret practice as follows: FIRST ELEVEN.  SECOND ELEVEN. Miller, l.e.  r.e., Kennard Osborne, l.t.  r.t., Robinson Burr, l.g.  r.g., Warren Parker, c.  c., Dore Kersburg, r.g.  l.g., Gilmore Inches, r.t.  l.t., Hoar Orr, r.e.  l.e., Burnham Newhall, q.b.  q.b., Rand Foster, l.h.  r.h., Lincoln Lockwood, r.h.  l.h., Tweed Wendell, f.b.  f.b., Gray
