...with work in falling on the ball for the entire squad. Then the line men were coached in blocking and breaking through and there was punting practice for the backs and ends. The ends went down under the kicks but did not tackle the runners.

Wendell used excellent judgment in running with the ball, and Nesmith was able to make long gains through Brill, whose work in the line has shown steady improvement. Nichols, who was in the scrimmage for the first time this year, played a strong game. The punting was very encouraging, especially that of Burr, who may later be used in the line. Fumbling has not yet been entirely eliminated...
Parker kicked off, and after a fumble, the second team succeeded in regaining the ball on the 35-yard line. Unable to gain by rushing, Myers dropped back to punt, but the pass was low and Brill broke through and blocked the kick, McFadon falling on the ball on the 15-yard line.

An exchange of kicks by Burr and Brill netted about 15 yards for the second eleven...
