Yesterday afternoon the Freshman eleven lined up for fifteen minutes against a scrub team composed partly of 'Varsity men. The interference for 1901 was weak at times and there was a marked tendency towards individual playing in place of team work. After this the first eleven ran through their signals and then lined up against the second for a few minutes play. The work in this line-up showed a marked improvement over their playing against the scrub eleven. The forwards interfered well for the runners and the backs showed up better both in the quickness of their play...
...first practice after the Yale game brought out nearly all of the regular 'Varsity men, although none but the substitutes went into the line-up.

...elevens lined up for 35 minutes in all, during which time the 'Varsity scored four times, and the second once on a place goal from a fair catch by Maguire. Sullivan played the best game of the backs, and really showed his best form of the year. His running was hard and he hit the line with a great deal of force. Shaw and Wheeler both forced the weaker second line for large holes, while Boal proved particularly effective in gaining ground...
