Three former players, members of the graduate coaching squad, played in the line of the second team yesterday afternoon and gave the men on the University eleven some valuable practice. They were J.

The extent of the hurt is not yet known, but should it prove great, it will leave the eleven without a suitable substitute for the quarterback position. Graydon was again used in the line-up, but only for a short time.
The game between the first and second teams lasted longer than usual and four touchdowns were scored. The playing was very crude, with ragged interference and considerable fumbling. Quicker starting, however, was noticeable and the backs kept their feet better while advancing the ball.
