...University team faced the second string men for a painstaking drill in formations, both defensive and offensive, that lasted for a long hour. Then all regulars who were on the semi-invalid list were taken out of the line-up and a stiff quarter-hour scrimmage was held between the two teams. The first string men were unable to score a touchdown, but four times advanced near enough to the goal-line to permit Mahan to essay drop-kicks. Of four attempts, three were successful, one being from the 42-yard line...
...defeat by Washington and Jefferson last Saturday, there has been a general shake-up in the Yale line. Bunker and Stillman have been moved to end positions, Wiley is relegated to the substitutes, and White has been put at centre in place of Walden. None of the first string back-field except King reported for practice yesterday, but all are expected on the field today. The injury to Carter two weeks ago makes it extremely doubtful whether he will be able to resume his old place at end again this season. Talbot will probably be in the game by Saturday...
...football situation continues to assume a brighter outlook with the return of the regulars, and although some of the first string men are not as yet in condition to scrimmage, they are taking light workouts and from present indications will be able to play Saturday against Michigan. Captain Brickley, Soucy, D. P. Morgan, and Sweetser are the first string men who are out at present. Brickley was able to leave the hospital Sunday afternoon and is convalescing rapidly at his home; D. P. Morgan will be out of the game for another week on account of his broken hand; Soncy...
Signals, a short drill in defensive work, punting practice for the backs, and a little special coaching of individual men, made up the bulk of the afternoon's work. Parson's work in Saturday's game was of sufficient merit to place him at left tackle as the first string man for the position. He will be given a thorough try-out this week and will receive careful individual instruction in the finer points of playing in the line...
...decisive play. However, the University team lacked so many of the regulars, that yesterday's play it hardly a fair criterion. Whitney, at fullback, showed more than he has for the last two years, and from present indications he will make a valuable addition to the first string substitutes. Coach Leary is rapidly developing Soucy as an end, his playing at that position yesterday being a decided improvement over the previous day's work. Pennock's knee still keeps him out of scrimmage, and Bradlee and Hardwick were out of the line-up; so it was far from a first...
