...football practice yesterday afternoon was the most spirited of any of this year, the first eleven scoring three touchdown on the second team in a 20-minute scrimmage. There was an unusual amount of the snap in the work and many long runs were made by the backs, both on simple line plays and on forward passes and onside kicks. The features of the work were a 45-yard run by Foster, and a 70-yard end run by Lincoin later, when numerous substitutes were tried. Burr and Kersburg were of great aid to the backs, the first, in particular...
...Freshman crew has undergone several changes, all on the starboard side, but since Wednesday has remained the same. The results are evident both in the individual showing and in that of the crew as a whole. Until recently the men in the stern of the boat have lacked snap in burying their blades at the catch as if they were uncertain of the men behind them, and this slackness has caused a hang at the catch among the bow oars...
...University eleven held a short signal practice yesterday at 2 o'clock, and the men ran through the plays with speed and snap. The order for the signal practice was as follows: l.e., Hall; l.t., Brill; l.g., Burr; c., Parker; r.g., Kersburg; r.t., Squires; r.e., Macdonald; q.b., Gilder; l.h.b., Foster; r.h.b., Hurley; f.b., Lockwood. This will probably be the line-up for the game tomorrow, except that Leary will play left end and Starr quarterback. Parker has been moved from guard to centre, where he replaces White in the line...
...injury will prevent him from playing for at least two weeks, Guild, who replaced him in the second half, could nearly always be relied on to make his distance. Just before the end of the game he wrenched his knee and was replaced by Lockwood. Starr put lots of snap into the team and used good judgment in directing plays. He was much steadier in the backfield than he has been and ran well with the ball. His most brilliant run was on the first kick-off, when he followed his interference back 50 yards...
Captain Hurley was in the line-up throughout the first half. He played a very fast game and put a great deal of snap into the rest of the team. Near the end of the first half he made a 35-yard run on the kick-off, following excellent interference. Leonard made the second touchdown by an 80-yard run, on which he used his hands to good effect and did some clever dodging. Snyder, who is being tried at end, made some clean, open tackles. He and O'Brien were changed from the second to the first eleven...
