...first touchdown. Burr kicked the goal. Two more touchdowns were made in quick succession by the first eleven. The short scrimmage which followed was devoted to further trail of the University team's defensive strength, with the result that the second eleven not once gained a first down. Toward the end Hall tried a few drop kicks for goals and Burr attempted several goals from placement from behind the line of scrimmage...
...open plays. In this work there was no attempt at a regular scrimmage. The team seems to have acquired a fair amount of confidence in the use of the open plays, and in consequence they work out to better advantage, as was seen in the Springfield game last Saturday. Toward the end of this work Coach Reid and Burr tried several goals from placement behind the line of scrimmage with rather poor success, the ball being blocked nearly every time. The whole squad ran a lap around the field...

Yesterday, the two crews rowed upstream almost to the Brighton bridge and back to the University Boat House in easy stretches. Toward the latter part of next week, there will be a race between the two crews over the course in the basin...

They served faultlessly and carefully, but did not always play well together, and were occasionally passed by well placed shots. Leonard at the beginning did some very fast playing, but toward the end of the match he played rashly and carelessly, often making double faults in an attempt to place two swift serves.

Hall and Newhall tried a few drop kicks for goals from the field, and Burr got off several punts in excellent style. Toward the end the first team lined up for practice of the forward pass, the quarterback kick, and a few line plays. Eight substitutes were put in on the first team during the scrimmage...
