...practice yesterday was short and brisk. Much time was spent by the first eleven, the substitutes and the second, in running through signals for the sake of the drill in new formations and plays. Coach Lewis instructed the second eleven in the guards back formation, in order that the first may have practice in meeting it before the Pennsylvania game. The first eleven, returned to last year's policy of rushing the line-men, and Donald was used with effect from his position in the line...
...usual. Much attention was paid to punting, not only in the preliminary work, but also in the line-up that followed.

...practice yesterday showed some improvement over the work of the past week. This was due partly to the fact that nearly the whole squad was out to play, and that the men are in splendid physical condition.

Forbes '92, head coach last year, was out for the first time this season, but did not take a very active part in the work. M. Donald '99 and J. Cranston '91 were, however, out in football clothes, and with coach Dibblee, directly...
Rowing at the Weld and Newell boat clubs is now fairly under way. Two eights went out from the Newell Club yesterday afternoon. One was composed of Seniors and Juniors and was stroked by F. L. Higginson, Jr., '00, and the other was a Freshman barge. Glendon, the new coach, will take charge of the crews this afternoon and will pay particular attention to the Freshmen...
