...football practice yesterday afternoon special attention was given to the forward pass and the on-side kick. The plays were tried from a scrimmage formation by both the first and second teams with encouraging results, although the ball was frequently thrown or kicked too far ahead. Before and after the scrimmage the line men were given hard practice in blocking and breaking through under the direction of Coaches Marshall and Knowlton. Four new men reported at this practice: J. W. Brown '08, centre; M. Dore '09, centre; T. Roosevelt '09, end; and H. Tweed '07, half-back. In the scrimmage...
...second half Williams kicked off, Kersburg running the ball in ten yards to the 38-yard line. Foster punted, and Williams, after a short gain on a forward pass, punted back. With the ball on the University eleven's 50-yard line, Wendell made four and Foster lost one yard, so Foster tried a punt, which Clay was obliged to down back of his own goal, thus scoring a safety for the University team. Several gains followed for both sides, and then Gutterson was put in Reid's and A. M. Brown in C. Brown's place for Williams...

The neutral zone rule appeared to be a very wise provision, as it made it much easier to follow the plays through the line...
...then punted to Newhall who made a fair catch on the 40-yard line, and Parker barely missed a goal from placement. Waters again punted, Macdonald getting the ball on the 45-yard line. A quarterback kick followed, the ball going outside and to Williams. After a poor forward pass and a trick play which failed to gain, Williams again punted and the University eleven secured the ball on the 42-yard line, but was penalized for an offside play. Foster then punted 60 yards, the ball going over the line for a second touchback. Waters punted out, and after...
Football practice began on September 10, the work at first being very light on account of the warm weather and consisting of passing and punting. The squad now numbers 47 men, and during the past week the candidates have been very thoroughly drilled in all departments of the game. The men have shown considerable speed and understanding of the new rules, and there has been a noticeable improvement not only in the usual line plays, but also in the new forward pass and onside punt to which particular attention has been given. There is every prospect of a strong team...
