...practice yesterday was light. The first team lined up and went through signal practice and then played two halves of ten and eight minutes against the second. The playing was slow and listless. The backs did not start quickly and did not play with any snap or dash. The interference either formed late or did not form at all. The linemen were slow in charging and lacked aggressiveness...

There was a surprising amount of fumbling, holding and off side play, which is scarcely to be expected from a team which has held so much practice. The linemen played too high and failed to get their full strength into the charging, while the backs ran so high that they were easily stopped. The whole eleven was unsuccessful in getting the jump in defensive play, and the second team...
