...first team substitutes were lined up against the University eleven in the football practice yesterday afternoon for a 22-minute scrimmage. The considerable success which both teams had in working the forward pass was the most encouraging feature of the practice. The playing was hard and fast throughout, but neither team was able to score. The substitutes did all the rushing, and the University eleven kept on the defensive, Burr punting whenever the first team received the ball. G. G. Browne '10 was in the scrimmage yesterday for the first time in several days, and he did some good tackling...
...scrimmage in yesterday afternoon's practice was, like that of Tuesday, devoted mainly to developing the defensive work of the first team. The second eleven was given the ball time after time in the first team's territory, once gaining the 5-yard line on a forward pass, but they were unable to gain although given several extra downs. On one occasion Nourse got the ball on a fumble and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. The first team linemen showed improvement on the defensive, and not only broke through the second line at will, but spoiled almost all attempts...

Long went through centre for a touchdown and Dunlap kicked the goal. The rest of the scrimmage was devoted to practicing the forward pass and breaking through for the line...
...changed at this point. After an exchange of punts, Harvard got the ball on its own 47-yard line. Leslie and Cutler made fifteen yards in two rushes; then Leslie found a good hole at right tackle and went through for fifteen yards. Burr tried a 30-yard forward pass to Cutting, who was blocked, the ball going to Williams. Brown broke up a forward pass and threw the man who received the ball for a loss. Williams punted, but the kick was blocked, and Harvard received the ball on the 27-yard line. Leslie made five yards at left...
