...team in a 20-minute scrimmage. There was an unusual amount of the snap in the work and many long runs were made by the backs, both on simple line plays and on forward passes and onside kicks. The features of the work were a 45-yard run by Foster, and a 70-yard end run by Lincoin later, when numerous substitutes were tried. Burr and Kersburg were of great aid to the backs, the first, in particular, making a hole through which Wendell rushed 21 yards for a touchdown. Newhall ran the team especially well, and Orr played...
...yard line. On the next play the first team was penalized five yards for being offside, but after getting the ball on a poor forward pass on the 14-yard line, rushed it the length of the field, Wendell making the touchdown.

...line. Lockwood at once lost the ball on an onside kick, Cate running it back 20 yards for the second team to the 20-yard line. Newhall got the ball on a forward pass made by the second team, after which Burr punted to the middle of the field. Foster made 12 yards on an end play, and after an exchange of kicks, regained the ball on the 47-yard line.

Blagden '02, tried breaking through and blocking for some time, while the ends had practice in quick starting and in taking the proper position when waiting for a play to start. Foster, New hall, Starr, and Taylor tried a number of drop-kicks from the 30-yard line with good results. One new man reported: A. V. Kidder '08, centre. Shortly before the scrimmage the University team lined up against some substitutes for signal practice and a short drill on simple plays...
...onside kick and a fumble occurred, on which Amherst regained the ball on the 42-yard line. Cobbs again punted, Taylor running back 10 yards to the 35-yard line. From this point the University team rushed the ball steadily down the field, Lockwood, Gray and Lincoln, who replaced Foster at left half, making repeated gains. In about the middle of the field Wendell was put in Gray's place at fullback. Lincoln, Wendell and Lockwood carried the ball the rest of the distance, 'Wendell making the touchdown'. Burr missed an easy goal...
