...minutes of play between the first and second elevens, the first eleven showed fairly good team work and also some brilliant individual running. In this respect Fincke, who played on the team for the first time this year, was the most noticeable. On the first kick-off he picked up the ball after Kendall's fumble and ran fifty yards by skillful dodging. A few minutes later he made a difficult catch of a punt on his own thirty-five yard line and ran entirely through the second eleven to the goal posts, but the ball was called back...
...practice game opened with Fincke's fifty yard run on the kick-off, and the first eleven at once began an attack on the ends. Kendall gained attack on the ends.

Immediately after the first kick-off Kendall tried a punt, but Roberts blocked it, gaining the ball on the first eleven's twenty yard line. Captain Daly then went in on the third and tried a goal from the field, but it was blocked. After an exchange of punts the first eleven tried...
...substitute eleven began the second half fairly well. Sherlock ran the kick-off back forty yards, and Stillman and Gierasch made several good gains through the line. Here, however, whatever interference there had been disappeared and the backs began to get in the way of each other. Finally, after a series of fairly good line plunges, the ball was carried past the ten yard line and Sawin made a touchdown. He also kicked the goal. Soon after the next kick-off Wesleyan took the ball on a punt and kept it until just before the end of the half...
