...Haven, Conn., November 13, 1911.-- The Yale football squad held only a light secret practice on Yale Field this afternoon, consisting of a short signal drill for the whole squad, blocking for the linemen, and kicking drill for the punters. The coaches also gave the men a long talk before sending them on the field, in which they pointed out the faults of Saturday's game with Brown...
...Freshman football squad was given strenuous work yesterday afternoon. A drill in catching punts was given to the backs, and charging practice for the linemen was held.

Coach Dewey took charge of the linemen, paying special attention to finding holes and charging low, while the ends and backs worked with Coaches Parker and Chatfield. Coolidge, Little, Smith, and Weatherhead ran down under the punts, trying to break up the tandem formations of the backs. The linemen held a short fake scrimmage with the second team to gain speed in blocking shift plays, in which the latter had little difficulty in puzzling its opponents' line...
