The University eleven in a 25-minute scrimmage yesterday afternoon was able to score only one touchdown. The main fault with the work was the failure of the line men and the backs to play low. There was also considerable fumbling by both the first and second teams. The wing-shift play, with Meier carrying the ball, was used effectively several times.

Captain Hurley, who has been out of the game for ten days, was once more at his old position and did good work, hitting the line for sure gains every time he was given the ball. The work of Parker, at left guard on the first eleven, was noticeably good yesterday.

On a line play Mills made the only touchdown, after the ball had been carried 80 yards with consistent rushes by Hurley, Nichols and Mills. Noyes kicked the goal. Toward the end of the half the second eleven secured the ball on a punt and rushed it for 20 yards.
