...Coach Dobie gave his men an extra long practice yesterday. The first thing on the program was a long talk, in which he told his squad that he was well pleased with the way in which they had mixed their running an aerial attack last Saturday. Then the eleven ran through dummy scrimmage which lasted in spite of the dark, with the aid of the new lighting system, until nearly 7 o'clock...
Then followed a dummy scrimmage with the second team. Whether the crispness of the weather, or the fact that the Princeton game is only a few days off was responsible for it, the whole team ran through their formations with a preciseness and snap which has not been so evident all season.

For Wingate's substitute showed none of they captain's individual performance, and ran the team with poor generalship. His constant use of one unbalanced formation with Ellis around the end contributed largely to the Yearling's ability to smother the Academy offence during the latter part of the game...
