...secret practice for the University football squad yesterday afternoon consisted in a long scrimmage divided into two halves. Captain Fish, Corbett and Minot were all in the practice, but Corbett, when he was tackled hard by W. K. Page, severely twisted his ankle so that he may not practice for a few days. The work was, however, encouraging as there was much more life and snap in the playing of the first team. L. Withington remained at left guard, his work showing much improvement...
...Freshman football team was put through a long, hard practice yesterday in an endeavor to eradicate some of the faults which came to light in the Groton game.

Minot, in the second half, playing his first game on the University team, as well as his first scrimmage this year, put life into the backfield. He was fast, starting too quickly at times, hit the line very hard, and kept his feet well. His onside kicking was very good, all of the kicks being placed accurately. In the line the men failed to make holes for the backs, Williams stopping a number of line plays without gain. The whole line was a bit slow and no one followed the ball. The ends had the same difficulty, though their tackling...
