About 180 men reported for the first track work yesterday. The work for each squad consisted of pulling weights, dumb-bell drill and hurdling, followed by a run on the 130-yard board track on Holmes Field. The sprinters took only a short run; the distance men ran ten laps. Cards were handed in by 33 additional men, bringing the total number of candidates up to 284. Some of these will not be out until after the mid-year examinations because of basketball or other work, but all who can do so should report without delay as little more than...

The number of injuries received in the games and in practice were proportionately about the same...

To this end both the first eleven and a team of substitutes were given a long drill in starting from regular formations. The preliminary work consisted only of a short punting practice, in which Burr, Leonard and Hall did the kicking. The ends went down under the punts against opposing ends, but there was no tackling. After the work in starting, the first eleven lined up against the second team and went through plays very slowly...
...Carr also started with the ball in the punting practice, and Nesmith in the kickoff work showed good speed. Hall played at quarterback, alternating with Newhall on the first eleven and in the line-up of the substitutes. They both got the plays off fast and the signal drill was very snappy...
