...Wednesday, November 12, 1913.--The entire squad was out today in uniform. Ainsworth was at left halfback during regular practice, but was replaced by Wisor in scrimmage.

The coaches are now endeavoring to prepare the substitutes to fill all gaps, and to overcome the serious defect so manifest in Saturday's game, the vulnerability...
