...thirty-five minute scrimmage with the Radio School team featured yesterday's practice of the informal University squad. In this first football of the season no attempt at scoring was made by either side, but the ball was shifted from team to team to emphasize particular points of offense and defense. The University eleven was given the ball the greater part of the time, and was able by long end runs and a few guard and tackle plays to take it down the field at will. Delayed pass formations also were very successful. One forward pass from F. C. Church...
...purpose of individual instruction, the squad was divided into small groups. Coach Wallace and W. B. Snow '18 drilled the linemen in charging, falling on and passing the ball, while some time was spent in waddling and throwing the medicine ball to condition the men. For the ends, under V. F.

Memory holds men more strongly than present discomfort. There are many loyal sons of Harvard, who, though disaster compass them about, will forget their weariness of limb and spirit when they hear the news from how that the team played a great game. Theirs will be the clear remembrance...
...reported for the second football practice of the season yesterday and were put through a stiff rudimentary drill by Coach Wallace. The men were divided into small squads and under the tutelage of the volunteer coaches were given the usual practice in falling on and runing with the ball and then the entire squad received its first taste of tackling the dummies. The candidates for quarter back were coached separately by E. G. Swigert '15, a former University quarter-back, and W. J. Murray '18. Murray, who has been granted a furlough from the Naval Reserve will have permanent charge...
