...were on the field prepared to go through signal practice. Sprague, Frothingham, Minot and Pierce did quite a little punting, Sprague getting off a number of sixty-yard punts. The first team and substitutes lined up for a short signal drill, and then opposed each other in order to perfect a number of plays and formations. L.

The last few innings were intensely exciting and were full of spectacular incidents. The playing was far from perfect, but there was plenty of life and determination. The outfield contributed some of the finest plays seen on Soldiers Field this year. In the first of the thirteenth Harvey sprinted to deep left centre and pulled down a hard drive of Wadsworth's. In the tenth Harvey made a swift and accurate throw to Currier off Young...
