...devoted to detailed preliminary work and to an easy scrimmage given up entirely to punting. A shift was made in the end positions, Hall being tried at left end in place of O'Brien, who was not out yesterday on account of a lame leg. Macdonald has strained his back, and although he was out, did not take part in the scrimmage. Parker was played at centre in the scrimmage. Newhall was out in his football clothes, but did not play in the line-up. Knowlton's leg is improving rapidly, and there is a slight chance that...
...been keeping in good condition and, although he was in the game yesterday only about five minutes, his work was marked by the life and snap which always characterize his play. The other men, who have been out for some time on account of injuries, and were back in the line-up today, were Squires, Hall, and Quigley, who was tried at quarterback on the first eleven. As quarterbacks are needed to fill the temporary vacancy caused by Newhall's injury, Lincoln was also given a trial at that position. Hanley, at fullback on the second eleven, played an excellent...

A few rushes put the ball on the 25-yard line and Spear, aided by the whole team, went through for the touchdown. In the rest of the scrimmage there were several fumbles, and on one occasion the second team nearly...
...Brown's 40-yard line and, aided by a 20-yard quarterback run, Brown returned the ball to Harvard's 40-yard line. Adams then punted to Starr on the 12-yard line. From there Harvard carried the ball the length of the field by straight rushing. With Knowlton back Starr gained four yards around right end, and Wendell just made first down. Foster, Carr and Wendell each gained first downs, Wendell and Foster netting 16 yards in three plays. Wendell and Carr were then given the ball alternately for eight plays and advanced it 25-yards. With Knowlton back...
