...individual work of the members, all have shown plenty of fight and willingness to learn, but a surprising inability to get over old habits of slowness and clumsiness. Hall, right end, is a hard and intelligent worker and covers his end of the line very well, except for a tendency to go in at line plays too soon and thereby to leave the field clear for any sort of fake around his end. He is a hard tackler, but often overruns his man in going down under a punt. Practically the same faults are to be found in Sargent...
...University eleven held its last practice on the old field yesterday, and practice today will be on the Stadium field. Yesterday's scrimmage between the first and second elevens lasted for nearly 30 minutes and was hard and fast.

Sugden, Carrick and Wilder, at centre and in the guard positions, are heavy, but slow. Meier, who has in the last two weeks been tried at left tackle...
