...preparation for the Annapolis game tomorrow. There was no scrimmage, but only light work. The backfield candidates were first taken out onto the Freshman gridiron and given practice in catching punts with the sun in their eyes and against a clear sky.

Brooks '09 outlined the fall work, which will begin with practice on Soldiers Field at 4 o'clock sharp this afternoon. All men, whether experienced or not, are urged to report immediately. The work this fall, which will last about a month, will consist of practice every weekday except Saturday, and games will be arranged with Everett and Springfield.
