...practice of the University football squad yesterday afternoon was ragged, and entirely lacking in the life and snap which characterized the first week of regular play. This poor showing, however, was undoubtedly due in a large measure to the absence in the line-up of many of the regular first team players and substitutes. Nesmith, Brill, Hanley and Frazer did not report owing to recent slight injuries, and Nichols, Oveson, Reynolds and Osborn, who have been out of the game for the past few days, although on the field again, did not engage in the scrimmage...
...University team showed up well, playing hard, straight football, with a life and snap that argues well for a successful season. The line defence proved very strong, so that the visitors, after vain attempts to rush their distance, were forced continually to resort to kicking.

...than average length, there was little to vary the monotonous spectacle of a team forcing its way down the field four times for touchdowns against much lighter opponents who should have been beaten by a considerably larger score. The University team played at the start with more spirit and snap than it has recently displayed and during the first half managed to score 18 points, but in the second half made a very poor showing and ended the game by being held for downs within 8 yards of a touchdown--a strong reminder of the lack of drive exhibited...
