...short signal drill, and then opposed each other in order to perfect a number of plays and formations. L. Withington was moved from right tackle to West's position at left guard, and Captain Fish was back at right tackle. Corbett, P. D. Smith and Minot made up the backfield with O'Flaherty at quarterback...
...tried at centre with P. Withington at his old position at guard. However, as Perkins was slightly hurt in the scrimmage on Thursday, the line will be the same as in the previous games, with the exception of Captain Fish, whose position will be filled by L. Withington. The backfield will have Frothingham, Leslie and Long, three men who have shown up well during the week's practice, and O'Flaherty will start the game at quarterback...

He was fast, starting too quickly at times, hit the line very hard, and kept his feet well. His onside kicking was very good, all of the kicks being placed accurately. In the line the men failed to make holes for the backs, Williams stopping a number of line plays without gain. The whole line was a bit slow and no one followed the ball. The ends had the same difficulty, though their tackling...
