...morning the whole squad, led by Trainer Donovan, went for a long walk. The signal practice was held at 4 o'clock and consisted of walking through plays against the substitutes. All the men with the exception of Burr are in the best condition. Dunlap's shoulder is perfectly well and he can play if needed, whether Burr starts the game...
...period the team put up its best fight this season and won the game, 6 to 0.

Hobbs and Kilpatrick of the winning 1911 team could fill other places in the line. The chief problem was to find a centre and a quarterback. Because of frequent injuries, the end positions have been very unsettled; but it is probable that Captain Burch will play one of them today. The guards and tackles...
