After the barbaric war dance of the opening chorus, the first hit was made by W. G. Means '06, as "Bang Bang", who sustained spirited comic action in both his songs and lines, although his voice failed at times to carry. S. D. Preston '06, is "Hustler, the Wanderer", sang "New York's the Place" and "When I Started Out" with engaging ease and jauntiness of manner, and showed considerable range in "Let's Sew" and "Back, get Back", in Act II. On several occasions the orchestra was a little too loud for the voices of the principals...

The backs started with snap and hit the line hard. The linemen, also, showed more speed in opening up holes. An encouraging feature of the game was the almost entire absence of fumbling...
...scrimmage the squad was given work in taking starts similar to that first tried on Monday, and both the backs and ends gave evidence of the results of this drill by the speed and snap with which they ran.

The longest runs were made by Leonard, who circled right end for over 30 yards, until tackled by Jones, and by Barney and Witherbee, who secured the ball on a fumble and netted 40 yards on a double pass. The line...
...linemen practice in breaking through and following the ends down the field. Burr, Leonard and Hall did most of the punting, Burr getting off some 65-yard kicks. In the scrimmage the first eleven scored once after eight minutes of play. The backs on the first eleven started fast, hit the line hard, and used good judgment in choosing holes. Carr played very well and at present is the most promising candidate for fullback. Brill was on the second eleven and played against Squires, who seemed to have a slight advantage...
