...Nostrand, last year's freshman quarterback, has been declared eligible and joined the squad today. The same plan of stiff, individual drill with special coaching will be continued today and tomorrow...
...brightest developments of the day was the discovery of an able quarterback in the person of Robinson, who replaced Willcox after the latter had again displayed his awkwardness in receiving punts. This seems to be an insuperable fault with Willcox, but his falling made way for the debut of a candidate who promises well.

The same difficulty was present which was shown in Saturday's game with Virginia; the team moved through simple plays with creditable speed and precision, but any attempt on the part of the quarterback to run off a play approaching the complex inevitably resulted in confusion. Only one score was made, a touchdown by Nelson which resulted after a long succession of simple plunges through the weak centre of the seconds' line...
