...second team was unable to gain when given the ball within five yards of the first team's goal line. Moreover the offense of the first eleven, which showed such promising improvement in the Carlisle game, gave no signs of any falling off in effectiveness. Guild and Lockwood were both reliable ground-gainers and Hurley, who played during the entire scrimmage, could as usual be counted on for substantial gains. In the long punting practice, to which special attention was given, Leonard, Burr, Hall, Foster and Leary all made some good kicks. Montgomery was out again and was given light...
Guild ran the first kickoff from the 5 to the 45-yard line, from where the first eleven rushed the ball straight down the field, Brill making the touchdown. After the next kickoff a long punting practice began, the only feature of which was a 32-yard run by Hurley on one of Brown's punts. The remainder of the first half was devoted to defensive work in which the second eleven was given the ball on the 5-yard line, but after gaining three yards was held for downs. Again the second was given the ball...
Mason ran the first kickoff of the second half to his own 10-yard line and on the next rush Heilborn, in attempting an end run, was thrown for a safety by Macdonald. Coach Brown kicked out to Foster, who ran back to the 25-yard line, and was stopped with a hard tackle by Blagden. Lockwood made the touchdown from the 16-yard line, and on the first rush after the next kickoff went outside tackle for another score. Gilder fumbled the kickoff, but Nichols recovered the ball and returned it to the 25-yard line. He punted...
...offense of the first eleven was irresistable, and four of the touchdowns were scored as a result of very long runs. Lockwood made the first score from the 40-yard line. Gilder ran the next kickoff to the 15-yard line, and from here Hurley, circling right end, made the touchdown, after a run of 95 yards. Hurley ran back the next kickoff 44 yards. Possibly the best run was made by Wendell, who received the opening kick-off of the second half and, aided by good interference, ran down the field for a touchdown. Lockwood played an excellent game...
