...greater part of the time in perfecting defence formations against the forward pass, as this was the chief defect in the work of the team on Saturday. With the informals in the Stadium the light workout consisted principally in punting for the backs, and breaking through for the linemen...

Snow '18 drilled the linemen in charging, falling on and passing the ball, while some time was spent in waddling and throwing the medicine ball to condition the men. For the ends, under V. F.

It is at least encouraging to see that the undergraduates care enough about football as a sport to play and play hard, although eighty thousand voices are not yelling encouragement and no band is playing inspiring music. These interclass contests are a valuable institution--they ought to be more of them...
