...preliminary drill for the backs was catching punts; and Coach Graves gave the linemen breaking through and blocking practice. The scrimmage lasted about twenty-five minutes. The substitutes scored first, after Robinson had blocked Page's punt on the second team's 15-yard line. Vogel recovered the ball and carried it over the line for a touchdown. The second team was then given the ball on the 25-yard line. Crocker got off a clever forward pass to Beard, who ran it out for twenty yards and Minot made the remaining distance in two hard plunges. After this...

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.
