Three football divisions were on the campus
yesterday afternoon. The veterans were under
the eye of DR.. Williams the eligibles for
this season and of last years second team

divided into two teams and the second scrim-
mage of the year taken up. The men
lined up as follows:

sition of the other team made it hard work to
gain thru them. The work was ragged, but not

There were no touchdowns, for the reason that
there was an absence of goals and the work
was merely that of .instructing the men ir

was passed. There was no kicking back of the
line by either team.
