...practice yesterday was principally in correcting the faults which the coaches had detected in Saturday's game. After the usual drill at sliding and tackling the dummy, the line-men were coached in breaking through, and the backs in punting. B. G. Waters '94, worked with the line-men, and made everyone charge his opponent and start with the ball. A long time was spent over this work, and considerable improvement was made...

The old fault of fumbling again marred the work of the back field, which was also handicapped by the absence of Daly.

All men who have even a minimum of eight or four oared rowing ability will be put into eight oared shells, but those who have done no rowing whatever will be given barge...
...first football game of the season on Saturday afternoon from Williams, by the score of 29 to 0 in two ten-minute halves. In spite of the fact that the line-up was constantly changing to give as many men as possible a chance to play, the offensive work showed a gratifying amount of team-play. Except for an unexpected weakness in the tackles, the work of the team was very encouraging to the coaches for this time of the year...
