...very loose and crude for this time of the year, and the first team was unable to gain through the second as it should. There was a great falling off in forward passing. This play was worked with considerable success a couple of weeks ago, but yesterday three of Burr's long passes hit the ground without being caught.

Punts were exchanged frequently on account of the inability of both teams to gain their distance, and Burr had but slight advantage over Coach Daly...

The rest of the scrimmage was almost entirely taken up with punting...

Newhall and Lockwood were in football clothes yesterday, and ran through signals with the team...
