...after time in the first team's territory, once gaining the 5-yard line on a forward pass, but they were unable to gain although given several extra downs. On one occasion Nourse got the ball on a fumble and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. The first team linemen showed improvement on the defensive, and not only broke through the second line at will, but spoiled almost all attempts at forward passes and blocked several punts. The latter part of the scrimmage developed into an exchange of punts, with but few line-plays. Burr tried a goal from placement...
...preliminary work consisted of breaking through for the linemen, and D. C. Campbell '02 gave the ends practice in going down on punts and not overrunning their man. C. D. Daly '01 and H. Foster, Jr., '07 coached the backfield. After the scrimmage the backs were given practice in catching punts, and Sprague got off some beautiful punts. Houston and Smith, who have been suffering from injuries, were in the signal practice but did not play in the scrimmage. The line-up: FIRST TEAM. SECOND TEAM. Cutting, Harding, l.e. r.e., Pirnie, Cooper, Lanihan McKay, Withington, l.t. r.t., Oveson Burr, West...

Some new formations were tried, but as a rule the linemen did not open up large enough holes for good gains. Coach Campbell paid especial attention to Browne, at right end on the University team. Browne broke up a number of plays and showed considerable improvement in securing kicks and forward passes...
...customary for Monday's practice, the University team was given light work yesterday and no scrimmage was held for the regular men. The linemen were given quick-starting practice and the ends ran down under Coach Leary's punts. In the signal practice, the entire time was given over to work on the forward pass with either Newhall or Wendell throwing the ball. Some excellent passes were made over the second team's line, against which the first was opposed for a part of the practice...
