COUNTRY CLUB, FARMINGTON, CONN., Nov. 20.--In this afternoon's signal practice Captain Burr was in his old position at left guard. Although his arm has been improving rapidly, it is still a question whether he will play in tomorrow's game. The probability is that he will play, although the matter will not definitely be decided until just before the game. Kennard was in at fullback in the signal work, but Ver Wiebe will play most of the game if he does not start...
...could not gain consistently through the Wesleyan line. Against Syracuse, a week later, the team could only score one touchdown. The work was ragged and rather discouraging. Eighteen points were rolled up against Holy Cross on October 10, in a game that showed much promise.

He still lacks skill in the finer points of the game and is not yet able to use his strength to full advantage. He is fast on his feet but has the fault of charging too high. He is especially good on the defense...
...Brown '98, a former coach of the second team, and M. L. Newhall '08, for two years quarterback on the University eleven, arrived today and aided in the coaching. It is still doubtful whether or not Captain Burr will be in condition to start the game Saturday. He went to New Haven in the morning and practiced punts, but his arm is still weak. The men who remained in Farmington took a long walk in the morning, and in the afternoon practiced kicking and had a short signal practice at the Country Club. There will be a short signal practice...
Tomorrow afternoon the backs and ends will have a short practice on the Yale Field at New Haven, and the linemen will be given light exercise in Farmington. It is still doubtful whether Captain Burr will play in Saturday's game...
