...Yale university team held two scrimmages today of twenty minutes each, one with the freshmen, and the other with the second team. The practice was very encouraging, the first team scoring twice on the second, and three times on the 1911 team.

Cooney was much more effective at guard, while Congdon filled the centre position well. Dines played a good game at quarterback in place of T. Jones, who was kept out of the line-up.
