...defense of both teams, however, was hard to penetrate, and most of the tries at goals had to be made from a distance. The University was particularly weak in handling the puck and in team-play. These two factors caused loss of speed, and gave the whole practice a listless appearance. Marked improvement, however, has been shown in following back. Hopkins scored the team's only goal from a scrimmage

Tonight, at the mass meeting, the songs will be practiced carefully, and a shabby attendance means that the singing at New Haven Saturday will be as listless and careless as it has been at the recent games...
...charging practice for the linemen was held. The first team then went through a long dummy scrimmage with the substitutes in which no tackling was allowed. Afterwards the first team lined up against the second for a forty-minute scrimmage.

The play was very fast...

It has done more harm than good, for it is apt to influence the players and put a listless spirit in them. For the supporters of a team are just as much a part of team as are the players themselves. Second, a criticising spirit. Quite often men in the stands think they could coach a team just as well as the coaches, and feel that they see mistakes...
