...secret practice for the University football team yesterday afternoon was short and fast. In the signal practice the substitutes were lined up against the first team to work out the formations better, but there was no scrimmaging. All the men were out, including Browne, Corbett, and Hoar, who were laid off Wednesday and the team seemed in good shape. Kennard started the signal practice at fullback, Ver Wiebe substituting him later. Kennard is a fairly good punter, and on this account is at present first choice for his position. Ver Wiebe, however, carries the ball better, and forms good interference...
...University football team defeated the Carlisle Indian eleven Saturday afternoon by the score of 17 to 0.

In this position he showed up well, blocking one of Galatti's punts and breaking up several other plays. The work of the University team was full of life...

The work was very fast and full of snap. Coaches Campbell and Graves gave the linemen a long drill in defensive work, and the ends had special work in boxing tackles on the offence. Coach Daly was in charge of the backs, and Cutler, Gray, Kennard and Sprague were drilled in punting...
