During the secret football practice in the Stadium yesterday afternoon, the first and second teams had a long, hard scrimmage. Aided by a fumbled punt and a pretty forward pass to Crowley, the second team was able to score on the first, a feat which has been accomplished only once before this season. However, the first team came back very hard and scored four times on the second, plunging straight through the line on the old fashioned plays.

...same complaint as in former years is beginning to be heard in connection with the dormitory crews. It seems an impossible feat to get the men in the various crews to report regularly and give an opportunity for the crew to get together so that a creditable showing can be made when the bumping races are held. A crew that is on the river so short a time before the race and composed of men of limited experience cannot expect much success if the captain and coach are constantly handicapped by the absence of different men from...
