...trial eights of the University crew squad were sent upstream yesterday to the Brighton bridge in short stretches and back to the boathouse at a fast pace. Owing to the numerous changes in the orders the work was ragged and the boats did not maintain an even keel. Morgan's crew, rowing a 27 stroke, spaced poorly, and the men failed to get all the power out of the stroke, the starboard side particularly being uneven. Ball's crew caught the water well together, but were inclined to rush their slides. Amberg's work at 7 was very creditable...
Peirce made the first touchdown by falling on the ball behind the line after White had fumbled on the two-yard line. The second score occurred after the University eleven had rushed the ball steadily forward from the 30-yard line, Wendell making the touchdown. Shortly after the third kick-off Somes fumbled Hall's quarterback kick on the 30-yard line, which enabled Starr to secure the ball and carry it a short distance for the third touchdown. Wendell secured the fourth and last touchdown after white had intercepted a forward pass, made by the second eleven...
...preliminary work was very short, consisting principally of signal practice in which the forward pass was the main feature. The entire squad was given a few minutes practice in quick starting. Parker tried several field goals, and also received some individual instruction from Coach Reid in passing the ball. Newhall was given a day's rest...
Before the scrimmage the backs were given a chance at tackling in the open field, and the linemen, under the direction of Coach Cutts, had a short practice in blocking. All the available ends were coached in running down under punts, Coach Reid and Gray doing the kicking. While the second eleven was running through signals, the first team lined up against the substitutes for practice in rushing the ball through the line. Purr and Parker, who has recovered from the injury to his shoulder, kicked a large number of goals from placement, under the direction of Coach Reid...
...first play after the kick-off Hall punted to Gilder on the second team's 40-yard line. Nourse blocked Graydon's punt and downed the ball for the first eleven on the 28-yard line. After a short loss on a quarterback run, Peirce gained 12 yards on a fumbled forward pass. A penalty for holding followed on the first team and one for offside play on the second team. The second eleven secured the ball on an onside kick on its 17-yard line, and Graydon at once punted, Rand running the ball back 25 yards...
