...football practice yesterday was poor, but slightly better than that of the preceding day. In the line-up the first eleven was able to score three times, chiefly through individual efforts. The linemen charged very high and the heavy men were slow. Captain Marshall went through the signal practice, but did not join in the scrimmage. A new player, Mercer 2M., a former Holy Cross halfback, weighing over 200 pounds, joined the squad and was tried at fullback...
...much the same nature as the work hitherto. After the usual preliminary work in dropping on the ball and starting, the linemen were given practice in breaking through, and the backs and ends in catching and running down under punts.

Bowditch was cut for the first time and joined...
...figure of the sprinter represents a runner in position for the starting signal, and is an exact mathematical reduction of the average obtained by measuring about one hundred of the best college sprinters of recent years, including Dufly and Wefers of Georgetown, Long of Columbia, Moulton of Yale, and Bigelow, Haigh and Schick of Harvard. The measurements were supplied by Dr. Paul C. Phillips of Amherst...
