...last practice yesterday afternoon the first eleven was given short signal work and a line-up against the second team. No scoring was done but the first eleven succeeded in making many good gains notwithstanding the fact that the second team played a hard game. Throughout the scrimmage both elevens played with spirit. The line-up: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN.

After a short signal practice the first team lined up against the second for a 35-minute scrimmage, and succeeded in making three touchdowns. On the kick-off the first eleven received the ball and rushed it down the field by long gains through the second. The next kick-off was again to the first team, for which Lincoln made good gains and carried the ball over for the second touchdown. The second team then received the ball but was forced to kick. The last touchdown was also made by Lincoln...
...secret practice of the University football team yesterday afternoon, no preliminary work was given other than an unusually long signal drill to better the running-off of plays. The line-up against the second eleven was again long, lasting over 30 minutes. The University team scored five touchdowns, but this was due in a measure to the fact that the ball was several times arbitrarily given to the University team for the purpose of developing a stronger offense. The second eleven was as a whole not very strong, but was several times able to hold the University team for downs...
...University football team, in secret practice yesterday afternoon, was given no preliminary work other than signal practice. The line-up against the second eleven, however, was longer than usual and consisted of two 20-minute halves. In offensive work a slight improvement was apparent. This was not, however, manifest in the defense, as the second eleven, although weak, carried the ball for long gains. The University team scored three touchdowns during the scrimmage, two in the first half and one in the second. Mills did not take part in the practice. Meier and Hurley were on the field...
...work of the University football squad in secret practice yesterday afternoon was light, as is usually the case after a hard game. Most of the men who played in the Dartmouth game on Saturday were allowed to engage only in preliminary work and in a long signal practice. Brill did not report, having left Cambridge to vote, and Starr was not on the field as it was thought best to give him a day's rest. Meier was out but did only very light work on account of an injured arm. Montgomery and Jones were on the field...
