...Varsity practice yesterday afternoon consisted of two ten-minute halves, one with the second eleven and one with the Freshmen. In the first half the plays were run off with plenty of snap and the backs and ends especially played hard and fast. The second half showed the 'Varsity playing carelessly and indifferently. The line-up was changed a number of times, most of the changes being made at end and quarter, so that this perhaps unsettled the team as much as anything else...
...first half the ball was always in the second eleven's territory, as with the exception of Hanavan's run around Cochrane's end, and a few rushes by Bull, the second could gain little ground. Three touchdowns in all were scored during the ten minutes of play. Two of these were more or less sensational, and were due directly to the interference which swung into shape on the end plays much better than usual. The first touchdown was scored by Dibblee on a 90-yard end run. He was cleverly blocked off for past Litting and then had practically...
...second half the playing was loose and ragged and only interesting from the point of view of the excellent game put up by the Freshmen.

After this practice and a short drill in punting the two teams lined up and played a short, fast game. During the tackling practice, Ellis, one of the most promising half-backs, was hurt in the ankle. He had just come out after being laid up for several days on account of an injury to his leg, and it is hoped this second injury will not interfere with his playing for any length of time...
...elevens yesterday the backs devoted a great deal of time to goal kicking. The two elevens then lined up for a few minutes of sharp, hard work. Perkins and Bull, of last year's 'Varsity crew, came out for the first time, playing right and left half on the second squad respectively. Perkins tackled strongly, but was injured so early in the game that no opportunity was given of judging of his possibilities as a back. Bull also dove into the interference well but in his rushing showed a lack of experience and practice. Throughout the game, the first eleven...
