...University team had half an hour's secret practice yesterday afternoon before leaving for Philadelphia. The men went through the work briskly and seemed to be in excellent condition to stand the strain of Saturday's game. An innovation introduced was practice in lunging. The men stood in line and at the signal of a pistol shot lunged forward at full length. It is expected that this new mode of practice, though somewhat tardy in its introduction, will be of service to the linemen when playing low on the defense. In the fifteen minutes of sharp signal practice which followed...
After half an hour spent in running through signals yesterday, the University eleven lined up against the second team for two hard halves of open practice. The playing of the first eleven was remarkably good. There was no fumbling, and the defense against the second was strong at all times. On the offense the team used only the simpler plays, gaining ground around the ends by good interference. Sawin, at left half, made most of the touchdowns scored by the first eleven. He also out-punted R. Lawrence of the second, and showed much of his old skill in running...

...Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon the Senior eleven won from the Juniors by a score of 15 to 0. All three of the touchdowns were well-merited by 1900, who had the advantage of a heavier team on a slippery field. Slowly but steadily the Seniors advanced the ball, about the middle of the first half, from the centre of the field to within a yard or two of 1901's goal line. On the third down, Shaw broke through the centre for the remaining short distance. Continued hammering in the same half also brought about the second touchdown, which Lowrie...
