...scored one touchdown and a goal from the field by Sawin. After the line-up Coach Dibblee carefully drilled the backs in the formation of interference. With both Campbell and Hallowell out of the practice the work of the ends was poor. As the second did not rush the ball at any time, the rest of the line had no defensive work...
Eaton and Donald both played in yesterday's practice, and R.B. Merriman 2G., substitute tackle on the '96 team, was out for the first time. In addition to his quickness in following the ball, he played strongly in the line, and made a good showing against Swain. Donald was in excellent form. With Donald, Eaton, Swain, Lawrence, Merriman, Peyton, Lewis and Blagden to choose from, there is now little doubt but that the tackle positions will be well filled this year. Burnett is now able to play on the team and will probably, with Donald, be given a chance today...
Ellis scored the only touchdown in the first half. Once the first eleven rushed the ball up to the second's goal-line, but was unable to push it across. Although R. Lawrence was outpunted by Sawin, poor tackling by Campbell and Hallowell allowed the second eleven to take the ball twice to the first's ten-yard line. Strong defensive work, however, prevented scoring...
...feature of the practice was the return to the guard-back play which was used for the last two years. Barnard, who played at left guard in place of Boal, tried to rush with the ball, but with little success. Although one or two yards were sometimes gained on the play, it was in no sense effective. Campbell and Hallowell, although they played well at times, allowed the second eleven backs to get past them twice for runs of twenty or thirty yards. Except for these runs, the defensive work of the first eleven was perfect...
...next half, a fumble by the second eleven gave the first the ball and Sawin scored on the next play. After Daly had returned the next kick-off, the first held the second for downs and then rushed the ball near enough for Sawin to kick a goal. As soon as the first obtained the ball again Barnard was tried at guard back, but could not gain. On the exchange of kicks Sawin again scored. Another goal from a fair catch and another touchdown by Sawin ended the half...
