Sensational plays contributed largely to the size of the score. Early in the game Osborne blocked a kick on the opponents' 17 yard line, and Wendell scored. Again in the first half Newhall, with Burr as interference, ran 85 yards down the side-line through several of the opposing team for a touchdown.

While the second team were running through signals, Burr gave the first team ends and backs a long practice in catching and running in punts. Later on Newhall took Burr's place, trying several punts for the purpose of giving the ends practice in quick starting. In the line-up the passes were worked fairly well, which makes it possible that they will be tried to a very considerable...

Later the ends were given a short practice in catching the ball on the run. Burr, Kersburg, and Lockwood have been given a two days' rest...
