...against the charging machine. A few of the heavier men tried making quick starts, and the second team, under the direction of Coach F. H. Nesmith '06, who has recently been appointed, had a short practice of several line plays. Just before the scrimmage, the first team tried the forward pass against a scrub eleven for a short period. Newhall, who has been slightly ill for the last few days, was again on the field. One new man reported, H. P. McLaughlin '09, halfback...
Philippbar kicked off to the first eleven, the ball being run in five yards to the 30-yard line. After two short gains a quarterback kick was tried on which the second team secured the ball on the 45-yard line. Kate at once signalled for a forward pass, but the ball touched the ground and so was given to the opposing team. Lockwood punted, the first eleven regaining the ball after it had been blocked. With the ball in the middle of the field, Lockwood made ten yards and then fumbled; but Burr regained the ball and advanced...
...University team had received the ball within striking distance, twice on misplays by Maine. For the most part the scoring was done by means of ordinary line rushes, though most of the plays were farther from the centre than they would have been under the old rules.

Fumbles were frequent, and the Maine team was penalized twice for holding, and the University team once for the same offence...

The University team, however, quickly regained the ball on a fumble on Maine's 54-yard line. Lockwood gained 7 yards and then Osborne 10 more on a forward pass. After another 3-yard rush by Lockwood, Starr tried...
...practice yesterday afternoon was extremely light, consisting mainly of work on the quarterback kick, the forward pass, and in punting from a scrimmage formation, but because of the game today there was no scrimmage. Several new men were tried out on the first eleven. There is still a great need of halfbacks. Under the direction of Coaches Marshall and Knowlton, the first team line men were given practice in blocking and starting, while the secondary line men were shown the proper positions to be taken for the same kind of work. There was a long punting practice for the backs...
