...principle problem that confronted the coaches was the development of a new set of backs, for Owsley was the only running back left on the squad who had played in a championship game. In the early part of the season Shevlin was tried at fullback but it was soon evident that he was not the man for the position and he was again put at end. Instead of having so much weight behind the line, it became the plan of the coaches to develop a somewhat lighter but faster set of backs. The number of this kind of backs...
...work of the University football squad in secret practice yesterday was hard and snappy, but not especially encouraging. A strong second team was line up to develop the offense of the first eleven, which advanced with difficulty by short gains, and was held twice for downs by the second. Mills played a good attacking game. On the second team, Hanley, Nesmith and Sperry were very steady as the secondary defence. Cunniff took part in the scrimmage, and Montgomery, Blagden, Derby, Meier and Paul were on the field doing light work. Parkinson, who has a slight cold, and Parker, whose ankle...
...successful next spring unless some more men come out to try for the field events. As yet no men have reported for the pole-vault and very few for the other field events.

Therefore all men who intend to try for these events should come out at once and should not wait until the winter or spring work begins. Everyone reporting now will be given a good chance to show what...
...importance of this work cannot be too strongly emphasized. It will develop speed and endurance, which at this season of the year can be acquired in no other way. Many men who are not taking any other form of exercise would do well to come out and take part in these runs. Even if they do not make the team this fall, their chances for the spring will be greatly improved...
Among the pitchers are J.A. Tuckerman '05, who uses his head well but lacks speed and strength; A.L. Castle '06, who should develop into a very valuable man; and D.C. Brennan and G.F. Green of the Freshman team, both of whom show considerable promise. The most likely candidates for third base are C.C. Bolton '05, substitute on the University team, and W.D. Dexter, third baseman on the Freshman team, the chances slightly favoring Bolton as a more experienced man. D.A. Newhall '06 is the most promising man to fill the vacancy at left field, while J.H. Giles, the Freshman fielder...
