Only four of the men who have been playing regularly on the University eleven took part in the secret practice yesterday. The scrimmage, which lasted seventeen minutes, was slow and lifeless and practically featureless. Two touchdowns were scored by the University eleven. The first one was made by Meier after the ball had been carried nearly to the goal line on a series of short line-plunges, from the 44-yard line. Soon after the second kick-off, the second team fumbled and lost the ball on its own 26-yard line, and from there the University eleven carried...
...University eleven yesterday was marked by no features of especial interest. The work was of average quality only, though it showed possibly a slight improvement upon that of Tuesday,--the men going into the scrimmage with somewhat more fight.

...Freshman eleven has been handicapped this year by a lack of heavy material, and the squad has been unusually small. The spirit of the men until recently has been far from energetic, and the development of the team has consequently been slow. Yesterday B. G. Waters '94 helped in the coaching. Infusing so much spirit and dash into the playing that in the line-up against the second eleven, the first team played a fairly creditable game...
