...backs and ends were worked a long time on kicks which Felton and H. R. Hardwick got off in fine style, averaging about 50 yards. Following this a short signal drill was held, but the players were shifted so much that any attempt at stating a regular line-up is impossible. In the backfield combinations Wendell, Hardwick, Bottle, and Brickley seemed to be the favorites, though all of the backs were given a chance.

There was no definite program laid out and, as might be expected, so few men attended rehearsals that after a short time the scheme was abandoned.
