About 300 students assembled in the Yard yesterday afternoon and marched to the Stadium behind the Regimental Band to witness the first open practice of the football team. Teams A, B, and C, the second team and the second Freshmen all ran through signals at the same time, making it an impressive sight to see five elevens on the field together. During this signal practice the team, individually and collectively, were cheered and several of the songs were practised. Team B of the Freshman squad was then sent in against the second team in a regular game...
...Sherman '20, received the kickoff and ran it back 40 yards before he was downed. The Freshmen tried plunges, passes and hidden ball plays, but were unable to advance and lost the ball on downs, after which both sides punted back and forth. C. E. Works '19 then intercepted a forward pass and ran to the 20-yard line but the seconds could make no headway and the ball was the Freshmen's. J. S.

The fourth touchdown came after the period was half over, when Willcox ran a punt back 35 yards to Virginia's 28-yard line. S. Burnham '19 crossed the goal line on the sixth subsequent play and A. W. Gardner '18 kicked the goal. The next score came immediately after the kick-off when Burnham intercepted a pass and the ball was taken over...
...touchdowns. H. Coolidge scored the first touchdown of this quarter by catching a pass from Willcox behind the goal line and Bond scored the last one a few minutes later on a line plunge. He kicked both goals. Willcox nearly scored another just before the game ended when he ran back a punt to Virginia's ten-yard line but the whistle blew before any further progress could be made...
