After considerable time spent on the explanation of new plays, Team A and Team B lined up for a period of fake scrimmage, chiefly for the benefit of the backs and ends. Then Potter, Reynolds, Blackall, and Milholland did some punting to the backs with the ends running down under the kicks. The distance of the punts was good in most instances, but the handling of the ball was very poor for this season of the year. Wendell and Campbell were the only members of the backfield who received the ball in sure style...
Last year there were thirty-four Harvard men who spent one night a week in this work. In all, 600 foreigners were registered in the Y. M. C. A. courses.

To those who are interest in social work exceptional opportunities...

Special emphasis was laid upon the handling of ground balls. After the fielding practice Coach Sexton spent some time in teaching the fall-away slide. This play requires much practice, but as it is often the deciding factor as to whether a base-runner is out or safe, the instruction is valuable...
Before the scrimmage the first team was given blackboard instruction in the Locker Building. All the squads then had a long drill with the tackling dummy. Afterwards backs and ends were placed in one squad, and linemen in another. The former spent a long time practicing punting, catching punts, and forward passing, while the linemen worked at breaking through. Coaches Dewey, Simpkins, Parker, and Chatfield were in charge...
...following Saturday's game. After the blackboard talk, which was longer than usual, the squad was taken out on the field and the backs given practice catching punts. Potter. T. H. Frothingham, Blackall, and Milholland did the punting and the ends were sent down under the kicks. Potter also spent some time trying drop-goals. Afterwards the squad was divided into three teams and put through a snappy signal drill. Wigglesworth, who has been laid off for a few days, reported and was put in charge of Team A, Potter taking Team B, and Freshly, quarterback on last year...
