...scrimmaging is expected until next week, and the drill so far has been entirely in fundamentals. Dr. Sharpe has already made it clear that the team will be thoroughly grounded in the rudiments of the game through the twice daily daily practice in scientific starting, turning, passing, punt-catching, and general handling of the ball...
...outset of the game the sailors seemed decidedly superior to the Marines. With the ball on their 27-yard line after a long punt by Mahan, a pretty forward pass from W. J. Murray '18 to E. L.

Enwright '18 and Casey, and an eight-yard forward pass, left the ball on the Marines' two-yard line, where the sailors lost it on downs. After Enwright had run back Mahan's punt 27 yards, the second attack ended in a try at a goal...

Woods '20 seized the ball and opened the way for the third score. Again on a fumble by Caldwell in midfield, Woods got the ball and was stopped only at the three yard line. Hallowell '20 then took the ball over for the fourth and last score...
