...linemen were alternately given offensive and defensive work, which consisted mainly in blocking off and holding for Burr's punts. The defense was weak and, although some excellent individual work was shown, the offense had little difficulty in breaking through. Newhall and Lockwood were in football clothes yesterday, and ran through signals with the team...
...Starr ran the team with more life than has been seen on Soldiers Field this fall, but his choice of plays showed very poor judgment. He rarely tried the various forward passes that have been used constantly in the scrimmages and relied entirely on straight, old-fashioned line bucking. At times, this method of attack seemed to possess considerable power but when it neared the goal line and went against the stiffened defense of the Springfield line it was held twice, both times within the 5-yard line.

Jaques, Jr., '11 ran the half-mile in 2 minutes, 3 and 1-5 seconds, in very pretty form, without being pushed hard. The most closely contested event was the one-mile run, in which six men finished almost in a line...
