...practice yesterday showed some improvement over the work of the past week. This was due partly to the fact that nearly the whole squad was out to play, and that the men are in splendid physical condition. The large number of coaches also tended to brace the play of the weaker men in the line. W. C. Forbes '92, head coach last year, was out for the first time this season, but did not take a very active part in the work. M. Donald '99 and J. Cranston '91 were, however, out in football clothes, and with coach Dibblee, directly...
...individual play of the first eleven there is still room for improvement. J. Lawrence was again a weak spot in the line. During the defensive work for the first eleven, which formed the principal portion of the day's work, it was through him that the gains were made. Swain at times was outplayed by Peyton. The centre of the line was strengthened by the return of Sargent, and the second could make no impression on it. In the back-field Ellis was very effective in running with the ball. He scored three touchdowns, one of which was from...

Even punting was of no avail, for the backs of the first usually eluded the second's ends and ran back to the place from which the ball was kicked...
...policy has been adopted of keeping for elevens at work daily and of giving them two or three practice games a week. The fact that the 'varsity has not been able to score more than one touchdown a day against the second eleven, indicates how strong a second eleven the new system has organized. The kicking game is also being developed, and, through the excellent punting of Sharpe, has had much success. In this respect Bates was decidedly out-classed on Saturday...
