Nearly every man on the squad took part in the scrimmage this afternoon, in which a second string backfield was used. Smith scored a touchdown against the scrub eleven during the scrimmage. Excellent form in punting was shown. Lourie's punts averaged 47 yards, while Vangerbig consistently made 45 yards. In drop-kick practice, Smith and Baker starred, placing kicks over the cross-bar from the thirty-yard line.

...second and last score came soon after in much the same manner. Exeter profited by an exchange of punts and then broke loose as before. Goddard and Jones went through the scrub line at will, bringing the ball to the 8-yard line. Here quarterback McGlone executed a clever pass to Bingham, substituting at left halfback, who slipped across for a touchdown. Exeter again failed to kick the goal...
