...afternoon, the first and second teams had a long, hard scrimmage. Aided by a fumbled punt and a pretty forward pass to Crowley, the second team was able to score on the first, a feat which has been accomplished only once before this season. However, the first team came back very hard and scored four times on the second, plunging straight through the line on the old fashioned plays. The second team used Cornell formations almost entirely, and these plays are being used to prepare the team for the game on Saturday...
...Locker Building, catching punts, a short signal drill and a 15-minute scrimmage. J. Parker substituted for Carr, who was excused from practice. In the scrimmage the second team was on the offensive and succeeded in scoring once, owing, for the most part, to the aggressiveness of its back...
...Exeter game last week. Lewis was moved from the backfield to end and did very well in his new position. He was down the field fast under kicks and usually got his man. When the second team had the ball he was used on the secondary defence. Goodale was back in his regular position at left guard and strengthened the left wing perceptibly. Cutler took Jones's place at centre, the latter going to the second squad, where his poor passing was noticeable. Lawson and Brown did well for the second, the former recovering a 20-yard forward pass...
...University football team lined up against the second team for a long, hard scrimmage during the secret practice yesterday afternoon. The work of the team was very encouraging, the backs tearing up the second line for long gains and scoring four touchdowns. O'Flaherty and McKay were not on the field, but they are not to be out of the game for long. O'Flaherty will be back again tomorrow. The line-up was shifted in a slightly different manner from that of the day before. Captain Fish had not returned from West Point and P. Withington was given only...
West Point won the toss and acting-captain Byrne chose to receive the kick off at the north end, having the wind at his back. P. Withington kicked off to Dean, who ran to his 26-yard line, after some very clever dodging. A fake kick failed to gain so Dean punted to Frothingham, who was tackled instantly on Harvard's 40-yard line. A quarterback run gained seven yards, three line plays netted 17 yards more, but Harvard was penalized for offside play, leaving the ball on West Point's 50-yard line. Here O'Flaherty sent a forward...
