...season with Springfield Training School in the Stadium at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Last year the University team won from Springfield only by the small score of 9 to 5, and narrowly escaped defeat. This year Springfield plays the same open game, and is particularly skillful with the forward pass. Springfield was defeated by Princeton on October 3 by the score of 17 to 0, and, although their line was weak, got off-some excellent passes, not failing once to secure the ball...
...first team substitutes were lined up against the University eleven in the football practice yesterday afternoon for a 22-minute scrimmage. The considerable success which both teams had in working the forward pass was the most encouraging feature of the practice. The playing was hard and fast throughout, but neither team was able to score. The substitutes did all the rushing, and the University eleven kept on the defensive, Burr punting whenever the first team received the ball. G. G. Browne '10 was in the scrimmage yesterday for the first time in several days, and he did some good tackling...
...fumbled on the 55-yard line. Gray again kicked outside, and Burr's punt went to Galatti on the 40-yard line. Smith went through centre for eight yards, and after two more line plays, Gray punted to Cutler on the 27-yard line. Burr got off a good forward pass to Browne, who ran it twenty yards. Cutler tried another forward pass, which McKay recovered, and the first team punted to Gray on the 45-yard line. Galatti's forward pass to Graydon netted twenty yards, and Smith made three yards at centre, when West was hurt...
...scrimmage in yesterday afternoon's practice was, like that of Tuesday, devoted mainly to developing the defensive work of the first team. The second eleven was given the ball time after time in the first team's territory, once gaining the 5-yard line on a forward pass, but they were unable to gain although given several extra downs. On one occasion Nourse got the ball on a fumble and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. The first team linemen showed improvement on the defensive, and not only broke through the second line at will, but spoiled almost all attempts...
...first team was given the ball only a few times, and was coached principally on the defence, particularly on blocking forward passes. The first touchdown was made after Fish had blocked Gilbert's punt on the second team's 25-yard line. Forchheimer went through left guard for four yards and White made three yards more through the same place. Corbett made a pretty run around right end for ten yards, and after White had made three yards on a line play, Forchheimer was pushed through centre for a touchdown. Burr kicked the goal. After the second team had gone...
