...Varsity squad started practice yesterday by tackling the dummy. The rest of the time was spent in running off signals and in bolstering up the tackles in their defensive play. Garrison was in at quarter and got the plays off very rapidly and with a great deal of snap. Haskell, the Medical School man, who has played on both the Amherst and Crescent A. A. elevens was played at right guard throughout the practice. He is heavy and rather active for his weight, but did not show up very promisingly, owing to his ignorance of the signals...
...result that twice Draper went plunging through the line for gains of 30 and 15 yards. In the former case, he broke through clearly and would have scored but for Dibblee's beautiful dive which pulled him down on the 20-yard line.

He ran the plays with a great deal of judgment and infused plenty of spirit into the men, by his energetic style of play...
...Varsity football squad had a very light afternoon's work yesterday. None of the squads were out early and all of the available time was spent in running through the signals. Ex-Captain Wrightington gave the backs valuable points on the formation of interference and got them to playing together and starting quicker. Sawin was at right half in place of Brown, throughout the practice, and showed up well in most of the plays. Considering the unfavorable conditions of rain and a slippery field, the running of the backs was decidedly encouraging...
