...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...
...With Minot, McKay, and P. D. Smith in the University line, the second team kicked off. Minot received the ball on the 25-yard line and ran it back for 50 yards before he was downed.

Considering the weakness of the outfield this season, it seems likely that another year will see three new men playing in the field positions, though there are several "H" men now on the squad who have played in the outfield. Babson, Kelly, Minot, and Rogers have all shown weakness in some department of the game and all are likely to be displaced by new men. Coon, Hollister, Lowrey, and Tomes are the promising candidates from the 1913 team for these positions, though Tomes may find a place in the infield
