...football squad had no regular scrimmage yesterday afternoon but two teams went through a long signal practice. This was preceded by a line-up for punts, in which Coach Waters devoted considerable time to the tackles. Leonard and Foster did the punting and got off some high, long kicks. Peirce and Squires ran through signal practice with the second eleven...
...Freshman football squad was given its first hard practice yesterday afternoon. After the usual preliminaries of falling on the ball, tackling the dummy and signal practice, teams A and C played one period of fifteen minutes, in which neither team scored.

...Freshman football candidates were given a long practice yesterday afternoon. The four teams, A, B, C and D, did not line up against each other as was expected, but instead were put through signal practice.

Tomorrow there will be a short line-up between the four teams in preparation for the game on Saturday...
...unsatisfactory. In an eight-minute scrimmage neither side scored and the first team was twice held for downs. The linemen of both elevens played hard and aggressively, but the backs did some very stupid running, and there was inexcusable fumbling. Foster was not in the scrimmage, but ran through signal practice with one of the trial elevens. Starr was in the first play, but as his ankle is not yet strong he was replaced by Quigley. In addition to the scrimmage the ends, linemen, and backs were given individual work and several of the first eleven had drill in tackling...
