The work of the University football squad in secret practice yesterday afternoon was light, as is usually the case after a hard game.

The first team kicked off to Upham, who ran the ball in from the 20 to the 35-yard line. The second eleven rushed with good gains to the centre of the field, where the first team held for downs. The first team gained 6 yards but lost the ball on a fumble, after which the second eleven again rushed with good gains, carrying the ball to the first team's 30-yard line.
