...scrimmage. Burr, Hall, Newhall, Parker and Starr had a long kicking practice, trying goals from placement, drop kicks and punts. Burr's punts and place kicks were excellent. After the secret practice the first squad was divided up into two elevens for signal practice and work on the forward pass. All sorts of line rushes were tried, and later a few goals from placement behind the line of scrimmage. Lockwood, Foster and Newhall rushed the ball well against a team of substitutes, and worked the forward pass to excellent advantage. The teams lined up in secret practice as follows: FIRST...

Although the weather was rather warm, the men on the first eleven played an extremely hard game, not once failing to gain their distance.

Burr kicked the goal. Two more touchdowns were made in quick succession by the first eleven. The short scrimmage which followed was devoted to further trail of the University team's defensive strength, with...
After the secret practice the first eleven lined up against a team of substitutes for further work on the forward pass and other open plays. In this work there was no attempt at a regular scrimmage. The team seems to have acquired a fair amount of confidence in the use of the open plays, and in consequence they work out to better advantage, as was seen in the Springfield game last Saturday. Toward the end of this work Coach Reid and Burr tried several goals from placement behind the line of scrimmage with rather poor success, the ball being blocked...
