...full of life and showed that the men are in excellent shape. In the open practice, the signal work was followed by a short period of punting practice in which, Burr kicked to Newhall, Starr, and Foster. Newhall handled the ball in splendid style considering the extremely wet weather. Kersburg will do very little work before the Yale game, although he is rapidly recovering from the injury to his knee. Captain Foster played at left half in the defensive work in the cage, but was not tried in the scrimmage. As soon as the first eleven had left the field...

There was a short panting practice, Newhall doing the kicking, and the ends running down the field under the ball, but there was no tackling. A long signal drill followed in which practically all the plays were run through. Coach Reid...
...getting the ball on their own 22-yard line on the kick-off, the eleven carried it steadily forward to Harvard's 19-yard line, where McDevitt tried a field floal which failed. Hatherway went in for Greenwood, and Steward replaced Stuart for Dartmouth, and Gilmore went in for Kersburg on the University eleven. Hall kicked out to the 49-yard line, from where the Dartmouth team carried the ball to within striking distance, this time scoring a touchdown. With the ball on the 13-yard line McDevitt and Steward dropped back as if for a goal from placement...
