...showed more life and dash than it has shown in any signal practice this year. There was no scrimmage, but both the first team and substitutes were given a long "dummy" scrimmage against the second team. Much attention was devoted to the handling of punts, to O'Flaherty's drop-kicking, and to the individual faults of each...
After the regular practice Coach Kennard spent some time with O'Flaherty, drilling him in drop-kicking. P. Withington tried a number of kick-offs. The signal drill for both the University team and substitutes was held after the "dummy" work, and when this was concluded the teams were sent...

Then the second, by recovering two fumbled punts, forced the first team almost to its own goal-line, where the first team took the ball on downs after a stubborn...
