...first secret practice of the University eleven yesterday was marked by no features of especial interest. The work was of average quality only, though it showed possibly a slight improvement upon that of Tuesday,--the men going into the scrimmage with somewhat more fight. Although the line played fairly hard, it was still very slow. A large number of substitutes were put in on both teams, and this fact, though partially accounted for by the inability of several of the first team men to play, shows also that the choice of men to fill several positions on the eleven...
...second team played at its best yesterday, and gave the University team hard practice. Dodge at right half, and Goodhue at left were both very effective. Dodge's spectacular run of 87 yards to the first team's 7-yard line, was the longest made against the first team this year; with a clear field ahead of him, he was prevented from making a touchdown only by Hurley's remarkable diving tackle from behind...
...most encouraging features of the practice was the fact that all but three of the men who played in Saturday's game were in condition for hard practice. Robinson was not out on account of a slight injury to his knee, and Bowditch and Hanley were each given a rest, neither lining up in the scrimmage. But with these exceptions all of the men in Saturday's game stood the hard practice in good condition and many of the plays were run off with unusual speed and alacrity. Mercer, of the second eleven, however, received an injury...
Exeter's advantage of superior weight was offset by inability to handle the wet ball, two touchdowns being prevented by fumbles near the goal line. The Freshmen, though outplayed, made a hard fight and showed a spirit of pluck and determination that was entirely lacking in the Groton game...
Hall and Sargent, ends, played a hard and reliable game. At tackle, Pierce played too high; Brill lacked fight in the first half and allowed many gains through him, but in the second half played with more life and followed the ball well, twice securing it after fumbles by Exeter. Sartwell ran the team fairly well, but in common with the other backs was extremely slow. A strong secondary defence was responsible for stopping many of Exeter's gains through the line...
