...first and second Freshman football teams indulged in a light practice yesterday, consisting chiefly of signal practice. Later two teams were lined up and each was given the ball alternately. The backs, however, walked through the plays and no tackling was permitted...
...first 20 minutes the University team played a close game with the second team in which the former scored one touchdown by Storer but missed an attempted drop-kick by Potter from the 15-yard line. During most of this time the ball went back and forth in mid-field, neither side being able to score. Campbell got away three times for long runs but when the play approached the second team goal line, the defence stiffened, and the first team backs were powerless. Of the three times that the goal line was endangered, one chance to score was lost...
