...second half, both teams tried forward passes and onside kicks with little success. After a period in which kicking predominated, the Seniors ran back a punt to their opponents' 15-yard line. From this point, by successive line plunges, in which the runner was well supported, the Seniors carried the ball to the Sophomores' 1-yard line. Here the 1912 team stiffened, but was unable to prevent a touchdown...
During the secret football practice in the Stadium yesterday afternoon, the first and second teams had a long, hard scrimmage. Aided by a fumbled punt and a pretty forward pass to Crowley, the second team was able to score on the first, a feat which has been accomplished only once before this season. However, the first team came back very hard and scored four times on the second, plunging straight through the line on the old fashioned plays. The second team used Cornell formations almost entirely, and these plays are being used to prepare the team for the game...
After the first team had been sent in, the substitutes lined up against the second team, the latter taking the ball in mid-field.

Then the second, by recovering two fumbled punts, forced the first team almost to its own goal...
...second team was given the ball in the middle of the field at the start of the scrimmage, but was soon forced to punt, Sprague doing the kicking. As was the case throughout the afternoon, the first team line men broke through and almost blocked the punt. The second team was again given the ball and, by a number of trick plays, gained nearly thirty yards before losing it. The first team then went straight down the field for its first touchdown, Minot scoring. After a short intermission play was resumed, and was considerably faster. O'Hare and Whitney...
