...through an hour's hard drill yesterday afternoon, the first half-hour being devoted to a hard scrimmage in which the first team scored one touchdown, Reynolds carrying the ball across the goal-line. Practice was fast and all the men showed up to good advantage. Another radical shift was made in the line-up, Storer replacing Jenckes at right tackle and Parmenter filling the vacant centre position. Frothingham played centre and Lingard left tackle on the substitute eleven...
Felton and Campbell were out again in football clothes and ran about the field, though neither entered the line-ups. Potter was out on the side-lines watching the practice.

From kick formations the teams were put through offensive and defensive plays, breaking through, and blocking. All the work was on the Freshman field as the Stadium gridiron was to wet for play
