...Freshman football team had three hours of hard practice yesterday afternoon in preparation for their first game, to be played at Groton tomorrow. Both linemen and backfield candidates started the afternoon at the dummies, after which the linemen were instructed in general offensive tactics by P. Withington '09. The backs practiced kicking and catching punts. V. Kennard '09, of the 1908 football team, gave the men some hints on drop-kicking...
...practice in the Stadium opened with a long preliminary drill for the linemen, the backs, the ends, and the centres, working separately.

Yesterday's practice, in preparation for the game, was very light, a few minutes being devoted to blocking practice for the linemen, and the rest of the afternoon to snappy signal practice. In spite of the fact that great attention has been paid to the development of the forward pass during the past week, the ends show no particular improvement in holding the ball. On the whole, however, the team shows a lot of snap, the backfield being especially fast. Last year the Freshmen defeated Groton...
