...practice for the University football team yesterday afternoon several important changes were made, Minot going in at left guard in place of Huntington, who was tried at centre with P. D. Smith. McKay was at his old position, left tackle, for the first time this season and will probably continue there. Felton was moved out from tackle to end. This arrangement of the centre men gives the line an increase of both speed and weight, as was evident in the 30-minute scrimmage with the second team, which followed the usual punting and signal practice...
...backfield. There will be a number of good halfbacks available. H. F. Corbett '11, T. Frothingham, Jr., '12, H. C. Leslie '11, E. P. Pierce, Jr., '12, E. A. Graustein '13, P. L. Wendell '13, and E.

Babson, the best of the remaining outfielders, was shifted over to left field from right, and Rogers and Chase were brought up from the second team for the other two positions, Minot being displaced. Rogers has done very well indeed at the bat and now leads the team, but his fielding is but mediocre and his throwing poor. Chase has had very little chance to show what...
