The Open Practice.

The presence of the body of undergraduates at the football practice yesterday had the effect of livening up the playing considerably. It was difficult, however, to get any idea of the playing of the team as a whole, on account of the number of substitutes who were in the game. The only members of the team who played throughout the practice were Burden and Lawrence.

The first half of play, after the preliminary work, was the usual line-up against the second eleven. For the second half, however, the Freshmen were put in, and made a better showing than the second, principally because there were more substitutes in the first eleven.

There was only one fumble by the first eleven, and that was not a costly one. The team was over eager, especially against the Freshmen, and was once penalized for offside play. The tackling was a little cleaner, except for some ragged work by the ends. The offensive playing was vigorous, but showed still some want of team play.

Burnett's first kick-off went over the goal posts, and the second was forced to kick off from the twenty-five yard line. The first eleven started vigorous rushes inside of tackle and through centre, which soon gave Ellis the chance to score through Wheeler. Lawrence kicked all the goals after the four touchdowns. Two were so far to the side as to necessitate punt outs.

Daly made a brilliant run on receiving the second kickoff, and then directed mass and dash plays against Peyton and Talbot. Sawin made one long end run, but it was mainly on line plays that the ball was carried down the field. At the goal line the second held for an instant, but Ellis finally scored.

Frequent exchanges of kicks followed, but as Reid was punting for both elevens, no ground was gained. Line plays resulted in another touchdown, scored by Kendall, and one more by Ellis.

The next half against the Freshmen resulted in no touchdowns. By exchanging punts, however, Fincke drove the ball so far into the Freshmen's territory that he was able to make a fair catch on the 45-yard line. Although the catch was made only a few feet from the side-line, Burnett kicked the goal. The Freshmen then tried a rushing game, and though unable to make successive gains, advanced the ball well at times. Derby made twenty-five yards around Hawkins, but after that the Freshmen were held for downs. Time was called on account of darkness.

The line-up follows:
