COUNTRY CLUB, FARMINGTON, CONN., Nov. 20.--In this afternoon's signal practice Captain Burr was in his old position at left guard. Although his arm has been improving rapidly, it is still a question whether he will play in tomorrow's game. The probability is that he will play, although the matter will not definitely be decided until just before the game. Kennard was in at fullback in the signal work, but Ver Wiebe will play most of the game if he does not start...
...Newhall '08, for two years quarterback on the University eleven, arrived today and aided in the coaching. It is still doubtful whether or not Captain Burr will be in condition to start the game Saturday. He went to New Haven in the morning and practiced punts, but his arm is still weak. The men who remained in Farmington took a long walk in the morning, and in the afternoon practiced kicking and had a short signal practice at the Country Club. There will be a short signal practice again on Yale Field tomorrow...
...Burr, captain of the University football team, was on the field again yesterday afternoon and watched the practice. He was not in his football clothes, however, and his arm is in a sling. It is still doubtful whether or not he will be able to play in the Yale game. Burr was hurt in practice on October 30, and the injury proved serious enough to keep him in the Infirmary for ten days. His place at left guard has been filled by Dunlap...
...injury to Captain Burr, which at first appeared to be merely a wrench of the arm, has proved to be more serious. On closer examination it was found that the shoulder itself was badly injured and one or two of the ligaments torn. This being the case, it is impossible for him to play against either Carlisle or Dartmouth, but it does not prevent the possibility of his being able to play against Yale at New Haven on the twenty-first. The tearing of the ligaments which has taken place will take considerable time to heal, but it remains...
Burr, while falling on the ball in the preliminary practice yesterday, wrenched his arm and will not be able to play today. The full extent of his injuries is not known, but apparently no ligaments or muscles were torn. McGuire will take his place at left guard. Dunlap will play in Hoar's position at right guard on account of injuries to the latter's hip. Houston will start the game at left end and Cutting will probably be substituted for him in the second half...
