Unfavorable weather conditions yesterday forced the University football squad to desert the Stadium for the shelter of the Cage, where the instruction on technical points replaced the usual program of scrimmaging. Restricted indoor space prevented kicking, and forward passes were tried only for short distances. Most of the plays were run against an eleven of substitutes, without scrimmaging.
