Great Enthusiasm at Last Practice.

An enthusiastic crowd of about 1500 undergraduates marched to the field yesterday afternoon to witness the last practice in Cambridge in preparation for the Yale game. The procession formed in front of Holworthy at 3.30 o'clock and marched through the Yard and down Mt. Auburn and Boylston streets to the Stadium, singing and cheering all the way. After entering Soldiers Field the men went into the Stadium and enthusiastically cheered the members of the team, Captain Burr, Coach Haughton and Trainer Donovan, while the eleven had a short, fast signal practice. Not enough money was subscribed at Monday night's mass meeting to pay the expenses of a band, but the songs were rehearsed with great success.

Before the open practice the University team had a short period of defensive work against the second team, but there was no real scrimmage. At the end of the signal practice for the first team, the second team scrimmaged for fifteen minutes with its substitutes.

Captain Burr was on the field and practiced kicking, but did not line up in the signal practice. R. P. Kernan '03, C. B. Marshall '04, M. Newhall '08, and Joshua Crane '90, coach of last year's University team, were on the side lines and assisted in the coaching.
