Long Defensive Practice Yesterday

The practice for the University football team yesterday afternoon consisted of a long scrimmage with the second team, in which the University team was on the defence entirely. Preceding this work, Coach Haughton gave the men a long blackboard talk in the Locker Building, and when the men came on to the field considerable time was spent in rehearsing the fundamentals. Coaches Blagden and Withington drilled the line-men, while the ends were under the direction of Coach Leary.

The scrimmage lasted about 25 minutes, and the University team's defence was given a thorough trying-out. No scores were made, and the play was often interrupted by the coaches who took time to instruct the men in the finer points of their positions.

All the men who played in the Dartmouth game were on the field except Wendell, who went in to see a dentist. T. Frothingham, who is slightly indisposed, was the only other member of the squad who was absent.
