LONG SECRET SCRIMMAGE

The University football team was given a long scrimmage during the secret practice in the Stadium yesterday afternoon. The first team scored four touchdowns on the second and, in addition, O'Flaherty kicked a pretty field goal from a difficult angle on the 38-yard line. The work was fast and hard; at one time the second team was held for downs inside the first team's ten-yard line.

McKay was on the field and went through signal drill though he was not allowed to scrimmage. Leslie was in the scrimmage for the first time in nearly two weeks, while G. G. Browne was on the side lines. L. Withington was given a lay-off, but will be in the game again tomorrow.

The scrimmage commenced with the second team in possession of the ball in the middle of the field. After an exchange of punts, a long run by Frothingham put the ball on the second's 15-yard line where a fumble cost the first team possession of the ball. However, the ball was soon brought back and O'Flaherty kicked a pretty drop goal. The next two touchdowns were made on long runs, one by Perkins after he had picked up a blocked punt. Then the second, by recovering two fumbled punts, forced the first team almost to its own goal-line, where the first team took the ball on downs after a stubborn defence. The substitutes were sent in at this point and they were able to score but once. This last touchdown was made on straight football, the second team making a strong stand, for two plays, on its 5-yard line.

The line-up of the teams was as follows:
