The team is not in the best of condition and does not present the line-up which will in all probability be used later in the season...

Practice for the University football squad yesterday was entirely secret, and was very short and light. Some new onside kick and forward pass formations were tried out, but there was no regular signal work. Kennard and Smith did the onside kicking, and Kennard practiced punting. The backs had a short starting practice, but the greater part of the men were given a complete rest and merely practiced handling the ball...
