...Stadium was mainly directed toward the strengthening of the University team's defence. Scrimmage with the second team lasted an hour, and resulted in a 7 to 7 tic. Such a score was largely due to the fact that the second team was given possession of the ball the greater part of the time, and the University thus given comparatively few chances for line-plunging. Considering this, and the fact that many of the coaches lined up with the second team at various times, the score does not indicate a poor showing on the part of the first team...
Early in the play, Wendell scored for the first team on a fumble by one of the opposing backfield. Recovering the ball, he ran 40 yards for a touchdown. A good punt-out was made, and Felton easily kicked the goal...

Team A's second score was made after a number of line plays and two successful forward passes from McKinlock to Watson...

The ball was soon advanced to the 30-yard line, where Bigelow broke away for a pretty run through the entire second team for a touchdown, the only score of the afternoon. On the whole the second squad scrimmage was very poor, marred by continual fumbles and careless playing...
