...afternoon in the Stadium the University team was given only light work. There was no scrimmage, but the second team lined up against the first for a short "dummy" scrimmage, in which Yale plays were used by the second eleven.

There was no scrimmage, but both the first team and substitutes were given a long "dummy" scrimmage against the second team. Much attention was devoted to the handling of punts, to O'Flaherty's drop-kicking, and to the individual faults of each...
