...line up but several of the men took part in the serimmage on either team A or C. As might be expected so early in the season the offense was very ragged, the interference formed slowly forcing the backs to depend on their own efforts to gain ground. The defense, on the other hand, was excellent, the men tackling low and hard. On the first play after the kick-of, R. Bradley received a bad cut in the head...
...scrimmage lasted only ten minutes and neither team scored, the ball being near the centre of the field most of the time. There were several fumbles, and the second team once held for downs. Of the backs, Snyder and Leonard gained the most ground. Leonard used poor judgment, however, on a run around left end and lost ground. Toward the middle of the period Hanley punted to the first team's 23-yard line. Leonard caught the ball and ran to the 48-yard line, where Cunniff finally stopped him after a splendid diving tackle.

As Starr received a slight injury to his ankle on Thursday, Newhall was tried at quarterback and ran the team well...
...football practice yesterday was very encouraging, although not quite as snappy as on Wednesday. The weather was warmer and the men showed the effect of the hard work of the past few days. In spite of this, however, every one played with determination and covered his ground well, as was shown by the few long gains made by either eleven...
