...first Hare and Hound run will start from the gymnasium at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The run will be about two miles in distance, and will be slow and with no break at the finish. The object of these runs will be to develop strong distance runners, and it is desirable that as many men as possible should participate. Men are advised to wear light rubber-soled shoes...
...usual secret practice of the University eleven began yesterday afternoon, although it has not been the custom in former years to hold it so long before the final games. The first eleven was able to break up the guards-back plays completely, owing to the presence of Burden in the line-up and to the improvement Coach Lewis has brought about in the defense.

In the afternoon practice running was omitted, but on Thursday there was the first line-up for breaking through. On Friday two elevens were lined up against each other to break through on kicks. Sawin, Daly and Hallowell kicked. There was no practice on Saturday afternoon, but the squad was divided into four elevens, which ran through six single plays. The training table begins on Thursday...
