...scrimmage in which the substitutes made three touchdowns on the second. The forward pass and the onside kick hardly ever failed to give the ball to the first eleven, and these plays were used several times with great success. The weather was cool and bracing and there was considerable snap in the playing...
Considering rule 5, it was voted that in putting the ball in play the centre rush may pass the ball back to one side, and need not necessarily snap it between his legs.

Burr and Kersburg were of great aid to the backs, the first, in particular...

The results are evident both in the individual showing and in that of the crew as a whole. Until recently the men in the stern of the boat have lacked snap in burying their blades at the catch as if they were uncertain of the men behind them, and this slackness has caused a hang at the catch among the bow oars...
