Until this unfortunate, though unavoidable, accident the game had been hard fought, but somewhat marred by fumbles. At the last minute it was decided to let Hooper start the game in McKay's place, and to have Frothingham go in at left halfback. The ends played well throughout the game, L. D. Smith making a number of beautiful tackles in the open field and receiving two short forward passes, while both he and Houston were down the field under almost every kick. Minot punted nine times, and the Army backs did not run these back for ten yards altogether. Minot...
...Haven, Conn., October 14, 1909.--A twenty-five minute scrimmage between the university and second teams was held today. Captain Coy did the punting for the second team but did not play in the scrimmage. Francis was tried out at halfback, and Brooks at end. Cooney played centre on the university team. Merritt, quarterback on the second, ran his team well, and showed excellent judgment in his choice of plays. Logan, Deming, Philbin and Hyde did not enter the scrimmage. The regular coaching staff was augmented by McCormick, Stillman and Glass...
...scrimmage between the first and second ended with the score 5 to 0 in favor of the first team. The second, however, held their opponents for downs twice, and made numerous gains. Galatti was tried at halfback, shifting from his regular position of quarter. Long and Rogers showed up strongly, the former making the touchdown...
...long practice in punting, Sprague sending off some exceptionally long balls. Signal practice was started with O'Flaherty at quarterback on the first squad, and Galatti running the substitutes. Later Coach Daly put Wigglesworth at quarterback on a third set with Rogers and E. V. Long as halfbacks. Long reported yesterday; he has been abroad and has just returned. N. H. Brock '12, a heavy guard, and F. H. Burrage '10, a back, also reported to the second squad. Rogers is being given a try-out at halfback and Sprague was used a little at end. After a short drill...
...College, his place at right end will probably be filled by Houston or Harding. R. C. Brown '10 is another possible end. For guards there are Dunlap and West, who played against Yale, as well as McGuire and good Freshman material to draw from. Smith, who played at right halfback last year and Harding may both be developed into good centres...
