Yesterday's practice of the University football squad was the last to be open to the public, for several weeks of secret practice begin this afternoon. It was attended by the full squad of the first two teams. No scrimmage was held, the coaches spending the time largely in oral instruction and signal drill.
After the usual indoor talk and work in dummy tackling, Coach Leary took the ends under his attention for training the defensive play, while the linemen were under the instruction of Coaches Fisher, Blagden (who was on the field for the first time this season), Parmenter, and Hitchcock. The high wind on the field yesterday was unfavorable to kicking, but Mahan, Hardwick, Bradlee, Felton, Harris, and Rollins worked out as usual. Mahan continued to outshine his rivals in the punting department, many of his kicks carrying over 55 yards. Hardwick and Bradlee got away some good punts, but their work lacked the consistency of Mahan. Felton also showed good form at times, with his high spirals but did not get the distance of the others.
After a signal practice, teams A and B underwent a drill in offensive and defensive playing, witnessed by the remainder of the squad. The players returned to the Locker Building after an hour of outdoor work.
The teams yesterday lined up as follows:
