...first half the Freshmen were slightly outplayed, and the ball was in their territory most of the time. Dean worked the forward pass very successfully, and gained consistently through the line. Cutler's punting, however, was of great help to the Freshmen, and was chiefly instrumental in keeping the ball from their goal line...
...delayed pass was also tried, but without much success. When gains were made, they were, for the most part, the result of either straight football or end runs.

After an hour's secret practice, the university team lined up for a scrimmage with the second team, during which the first team scored two touchdowns and a goal from placement, and the second team scored once. The forward pass and onside kick were not tried, but the practice consisted mostly of straight Football, the men being drilled in bucking the line and plunging. The first team outplayed the second in general, although the second team braced at times and on one occasion held the University team for downs. Wheaton, who has been...
