...with Carlisle on Saturday. As the scrimmage on Tuesday was very satisfactory, the men were not required to go through another hard period of play yesterday, the time being devoted instead to signal practice. While the second eleven was running through signals and doing some work on the forward pass, Inches, Peirce, and Robinson, under the direction of Coach Cutts, practiced charging and catching the ball on the run. The ends were given a chance to run down under punts in order to develop their speed, Coach Reid doing the kicking. The West Point game and the Brown game both...

After a short loss on a quarterback run, Peirce gained 12 yards on a fumbled forward pass. A penalty for holding followed on the first team and one for offside play on the second team. The second eleven secured the ball on an onside kick on its 17-yard line, and Graydon at once punted, Rand running the ball back 25 yards to the 25-yard line. From...
