...other two. All scoring, which consisted of two touchdowns by Wendell and a goal from the field by Milholland, was done by the first team, which alone seemed to be able to penetrate the Bates line for any great distance. However, owing to fumbles behind the line, unsuccessful forward passes and fumbles by Bates, the team had no opportunity to demonstrate its ability to advance the ball by consistent rushing. Both touchdowns came as a result of fumbles by Bates close to their own goal, and Milholland would not have been called on to try a drop kick...
Potter's onside kicking was well-timed and accurate, and he gave the ends an excellent chance to recover the ball, by not kicking either too far or too quickly. Of the forward passes, only one was successful, the others being either outside or wide of the mark. He ran the team with snap and speed, showing a versatility of attack fairly well developed for this stage of the season...
...five-yard penalty against Bates took the ball to the centre of the field, where Felton punted to Hill. The latter, however, fumbled, and Gardiner recovered the ball on the 20-yard line. Wendell and Morrison went through the line to the 8 yard mark, where Potter tried a forward pass to Smith which failed.

On the next play Wendell plunged through tackle for the first touchdown. Gardiner kicked...

At first instruction was given in falling on the ball and tackling the dummy. About the middle of the week punting, catching and running in kicks, and forward passing was taken up. This was followed by practice in simple formations and drill in blocking and breaking through for the linemen. During the week consistent improvement has been shown in all departments of the game which so far have been taken up. Many of the candidates for the backfield...
Warren, the big freshman guard of last season, was tried at end in the spring practice. He weighs 185 pounds, but is very fast and much is expected of him in the role of heavyweight handler of forward passes, filled for three seasons by Kilpatrick. Scully and Paul, the veteran tackles, will have Wolfe and Carpenter of the freshman team last year as formidable substitutes. Francis will be used at either tackle or guard. McDevitt and Childs, guards, will return, and Cooney of the freshmen will be another valuable member of the squad. He is brother of Caroll Cooney...
