UNIVERSITY ELEVEN HAS LIGHT PRACTICE SESSION

O'CONNELL PROMOTED TO END POST ON TEAM A

Yesterday afternoon's scrimmage for the University eleven was cancelled when Coach Horween was unexpectedly called to New York on business. Defensive practice, dummy scrimmage, and signal drill were substituted as the Crimson eleven started its final drive for the season's opener against Springfield on Saturday.

A strenuous session of defensive drill opened yesterday's workout. A 40 minute dummy scrimmage was next in order, with one important change in the lineup. R. H. O'Connell '29 was promoted to an end berth on Team A, and it seems likely that this change may be permanent. So far this year, he has been tried out at center and guard, but not with much success. O'Connell's stead rise since his shift to the end squad would seem to point to his holding down one of the wing posts during the fall campaign. During the workout, special emphasis was placed on the aerial attack, short as well as long passes being used.
