...afternoon the men were divided into two squads and practiced the signals. Waters joined the line of backs and formed part of the interference. Two elevens lined up later in the afternoon and the 'varsity was unable to check the vigorous rushes of the second eleven backs. By clever dodging, Arnold succeeded in running half the length of the field and crossing the 'varsity line, but the touchdown was not allowed as he ran outside. There was considerable punting and much fumbling resulted. Newell played well at end on the second eleven and scored a touchdown, aided by good interference...

Gould made some clever tackles and played the best game he has shown this year. The two Shaws held finely in the centre. Both Beale and foster were tried at quarterback, but the fearful condition of the field prevented either from playing a very clean game...
