Before the line-up, which was postponed by rain, the first secret practice of the season was held in the Cage. When the teams finally faced each other, the seconds were given the ball on their opponents' 25-yard line. After an exchange of kicks, team A received the ball near the seconds' goal. From here a 20-yard pass by Gardner to Smith took the ball across for a touchdown. Brickley kicked the goal. Score: University 7, Seconds...
...second team again got the ball and Greustein did some good line plunging for steady gains. The first team now received the ball on its own 25-yard line, and after a few straight rushes it was given to Wendell. He carried it around left end for 75 yards, throwing off three of the second team men who tried to tackle him, and dodging through the whole opposing line.

First one team was given the ball and then the other, so that the play see-sawed back and forth over the field. Coach W. T.

So far the coaches have devoted most of their time to developing as strong a defensive line as possible from the material at hand. At a number of practices the second team has kept the ball the entire time, battering away at the first's defence, and the results have been very satisfactory, as during the last week the line has been almost like a stone wall. The backfield, as may be remembered from last year, is exceptionally strong defensively. It looks now as though the Tigers...
...formations against a defence. Felton and H. Hardwick were pitted against one another in the punting duel which took up most of the afternoon's work. They both got off some fine kicks of 50 yards and averaged at least 40 yards on every kick. The backs handled the ball well but almost always were surrounded by the offensive ends; and, as last year, Storer was not among the last to get down the field under punts...
