...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...
...first practice of the candidates for the Freshman football team was held yesterday afternoon, when one hundred and forty-five men came out to try for team places. These were first instructed in tackling the dummy and in falling on the ball. Then under the direction of J. E. N. Shaw, 2L, and J. L.

...first round to select the fourth representative for the intercollegiate tournament was played yesterday afternoon. The only close match was that between C. S. Rathbun '02 and C. M. Rotch '01. Of the new men, perhaps the most promising is E. W. Leonard '03, who won from Kobbe by accurate placing from the back-line and by excellent smashing...

That cannot help being the case, however, for the competition is so close that two or three men could be found to fill with credit almost any position. Only in the centre is there a certain weakness. But the appearance yesterday in the play of A. R. Sargent will do something toward strengthening that part of the line. As Kendall is now playing rather better at right half than at left, there is little to choose between the three backs--Kendall, Warren and Parker. A bit unsatisfactory, still, is the work...
