...last night at the Norfolk Hunt Club in Medfield. The majority of the squad left Harvard square yesterday afternoon at 1.45 o'clock. Coaches Haughton and Daly and the following nine men followed on a later train, after a short signal practice and a drill in punting to the back-field in the Stadium: H. F. Corbett '11, T. Frothingham '12, H. C. Leslie '11, R. G. McKay '11, W. M. Minot '11, D. V. O'Flaherty '10, J. G. B. Perkins '11, H. B. Sprague '11, and R. B. Wigglesworth...
...scrimmage, after long absences, and showed their condition to be perfect. Minot and P. D. Smith were not used against the second team, for they were both still a little stiff as a result of Saturday's game. O'Flaherty started the scrimmage and his work in the back-field, especially catching punts, was decidedly improved. After the regular scrimmage was over, the two teams lined up on the second's 25-yard line and O'Flaherty kicked five pretty drop kicks. The line held well and each kick got away quickly and cleanly...
...signs of promise but seemed nervous, which was probably responsible for his using such a small number of plays. A more varied attack would undoubtedly have been more effective.

The back-field was rather erratic, at times too slow in starting, and at other times starting before the ball. They ran hard, though it was more through individual brilliancy then team work, that they made their gains. P. D. Smith, Corbett and Frothingham were the best ground gainers, Smith doing especially...
...likely to hold their positions, though R. T. Fisher '12 is an exceedingly good man. P. Withington '10, who is completing his College course this year, has been moved to centre, and seems to be the favorite over P. D. Smith '11, who has been shifted from the back-field...
...most unsettled and the coaches must develop one from untried material. D. V. O'Flaherty '10 is a heavy and exceedingly fast man and seems to be developing rapidly. S. Galatti '10, substitute quarter last year, and R. B. Wigglesworth '12 are also doing fast work. The back-field is fairly well settled with H. C. Leslie '11 and H. F. Corbett '11, two of the halfbacks on last year's team, and W. M. Minot '11, who was ineligible last fall but played fullback on the second team throughout the season. In addition H. B. Sprague '11, also...
