Play was marked by more snap than the eleven has shown of late, due to the fact that all had had two days of rest. Still it was, as one of the coaches said, painfully slow. Waters went through the signals but did not play. Dunlop took his place on the first...
...through the different plays, at the end of which they were given a short rest. About half past four the second eleven appeared and a regular half was played until it grew dark. The 'varsity were none too fresh to meet the second eleven and the practice lacked the snap which has been fairly prominent in other days. Hallowell was out coaching. Sears is expected some day next week and it is possible that Cranston and Perry Trafford may find the time to coach for a day or two. Captain Waters has been obliged to have his knee...
...great trouble with the 'varsity, which the presence of Captain Waters undoubtedly would in some degree have obviated, was the lack of snap. Fairchild was slow in passing, and the backs were slow, when once they got the ball. In marked contrast was the work of Peters and Anthony for the B. A. A. They were off like a flash, and the rush line of the 'varsity could not stop them without gain. It is the first time this year that this fault that has prevailed all along has been so noticeable, and it comes home with all the more...
...considerably changed. Parker did perhaps the best work, playing about as well as he has at any time this season. Whittren, Collamore and A. Brewer also watched their ends carefully and made some good tackles. Fairchild was slow at quarter and did not run his team with as much snap as he might have.

Stevenson seems to begin to show the effect of hard work. Whittren played with his usual snap and earnestness, but showed a dangerous tendency to get off side. Mackie and Acton both played well. If the latter continues to improve there should be no danger of a weak centre. Fairchild and Foster did about equally well in passing and tackling, but the former was clearly superior...
