The runner was given so little protection that he was frequently thrown for a loss. The second eleven, also, once succeeded in blocking a kick. In defensive work, the team played much better, but still left much to be desired. Throughout the practice there was too much individual play and little or no team-work.

...choice of the way in which he is to walk is what brings rest to a man, for rest is not inaction, but it is harmony and the lack of strife. And in our rushing modern times, with its distraction and unquiet, men can do no better than to turn back to the old way and the old words; "Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light, and ye shall find rest unto your souls...
