...best feature of Yesterday's practice was the line-plunging of the backs. No long runs were made, but steady gains resulted in three touchdowns for the first eleven, and in one field goal from the 20 yard line by Sawin. Fumbling at critical times again marred the play. Early in the practice game, Ellis dropped the ball on the second's 2-yard line, and was at once replaced by Reid...

The results of these efforts appeared in the scoring of the second touchdown by Reid, when all the gains were made by well-executed plays into the line.

A system of play intended for a team of eleven men cannot be tested unless there are eleven men able to play it. The team has not had the same make-up in any two games of the season. The men were in better physical condition in the Harvard game than at any previous time this season, but owing to long absences from practice, caused...
...team that there was confidence in their ability in spite of the disaster. Under this inspiration and aided by the return of a number of devoted coaches the team has taken on new life. The weakness of the individuals are known and are not regarded as unconquerable. Their play is not yet up to that of Harvard nor up to the standard of a veteran team, and so there is still much to do. The make -- up of the eleven will be such that to beat it will mean a triumph and the work of whipping it a difficult undertaking...
