...Freshman football practice yesterday afternoon showed a decided improvement in nearly every department of the game. In the line-up which followed the preliminary signal work, both elevens exhibited a spirit and dash which has not appeared before. The backs started more quickly and every man seemed to get into the play. The first team formed a more compact interference and by superior team work scored two touchdowns and a safety. The second team, by very aggressive playing, almost secured a touchdown, but was held for downs on the 5 yard line...

He ran down quickly on punts...

After this elementary work, the first eleven was put through signal practice. This signal practice was gone through slowly at first, to get the men sure of their places in the various plays; but afterward the plays were carried out at full speed. In this work the men played listlessly and unsteadily. The interference was slow in getting together on end runs, and on plays through the line did not keep in good...
