N. Y. U. Varsity Gets Signal
Drill Instead of Scrimmage.

Practice for the New York University
football team yesterday afternoon was
light, as Hermann p. Olcott, head coach
OF the team. wished TO rest the varsity
after Tuesdays game with Trinity. He
expects, however. to work them hard
for the next two days in preparation for
the contest with Princeton on Saturday.
The practice consisted OF a long sig
nal drill and punting Olcott paid
special attention to the iinemen. and
Reilly. assistant coach, took charge OF
the backs. 1t was shown on Tuesday
that the line would need considerable
bolsterlng UP TO make any kind OF
showing against Princeton, as Hudson.
Trinitys fullbsck. was able to tear
through the guards and tackles for good
gains. Kennedy, a new man just be-
fore the Trinity game, was put in the
backfield. and did some very creditable
work.
In the punting Huntley did most OF
the work, although McDermott had a
chance also. In connection with this
part of the practice the linemen were
drilled on getting down the field under
punts and in eluding the interference.
