...Yesterday's practice lacked the usual dash and snap. This was due in part to the weather, but more particularly to the presence of several new men on the team. Baldwin, the Freshman quarterback, played the greater part of the one half of about ten minutes. He passed with a fair degree of accuracy, was effective as an interferer and keyed the eleven up to fast offensive football. Peyton, also, who completely outclassed Swain in Thursday's practice, was tried at right tackle on the first eleven in Lawrence's place. He is a valuable man on the defense...
...preliminary work, which was the same as on Thursday, was held in the Carey building on account of the rain. For the rudimentary portion of the practice, the cage has ample space, and even permits low punting. Yesterday, however, Lewis and Burden continued the lessons in breaking through, which have formed in important part of the work of the last few days. Meanwhile, Coach Dibblee gave the backs some of the finer points of their positions in connection with starting and interfering...
...game on Monday. Although Reid will not be allowed to play for some time yet, the injury to his leg is not so serious as was first supposed. Hurley, whose brilliant rushing will be much missed by the second eleven, sprained his ankle in the last play yesterday. The players, on the whole, are, however, passing that period in training when they are susceptible to injuries, and should soon be able to play longer and harder halves, and then fit themselves for the Yale game...
...whole, the practice of yesterday showed general improvement over the play in the Bowdoin game. Especially noticeable was the brace taken by the backs in the last five minutes of the practice. They put all possible energy into their running, started with the ball, not after it, and in bucking the line kept low. The linemen also made a stride forward by getting the start on their opponents and charging them back into their own territory. The result was the more gratifying, in the sense that the men thus responded to the efforts of the coaches to show the importance...
Owing to injuries, more or less serious, a large number of the first eleven are taking only a small share in the regular daily practice. Eaton is still troubled with water on the knee,--the result of an injury in the Williams game. C. Sargent hurt his shoulder slightly yesterday and gave place to Burnett. Swain, who is still far below his old standard, was also taken out, as a result of a sharp blow back of the head. Reid wrenched some muscles in his leg and retired in favor of Sawin. With Burden, Daly and Eaton...
