...HAVEN, CONN., Nov. 7--In a thirty-minute scrimmage this afternoon the University team scored twice on the second. The defence of the university eleven was weak, and the second gained consistently by centre plays. No forward passes were tried and line pushes and on side kicks were the principal plays used. There was considerable fumbling by both teams, and a strong wind prevented any effective punting. Biglow, Erwin, Brides and Alcott were given a rest today. The following coaches were on the field: Camp, Owsley, Forguson, Fly, Metealf, Thorne, Hinkey, Hoyt, Rockwell. The line-up of the university team...

Vaughn for Exeter did good work running back punts...

Later Coach Reid gave Burr some individual instruction in kicking goals, a point in which he was rather weak in the last game. The linemen, under the direction of M. Donald '99 and C. Blagden '02, tried breaking through and blocking for some time, while the ends had practice in quick starting and in taking the proper position when waiting for a play to start. Foster, New hall, Starr...
...football team will play the Amherst Agricultural College team this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Stadium. As this will be the first game that this team has ever played against Harvard it is difficult to estimate what the result will be. The Amherst eleven, however, is very weak, their game with the New Hampshire College last Saturday resulting in a score...
