Football practice for the year began under the direction of Coach Randall and Assistant Coaches Keady and Tobin on September 15, a week before College opened. The squad which appeared for the opening practice was one of the smallest that has ever answered a call for football material in the history of the College. Nine veterans reported under the leadership of Captain Ryan, and the work of building a machine to down Princeton and Harvard was begun. Practices were held in the morning and afternoon, but with the opening of College morning practice was discontinued.
The nine men who have been seasoned in the gridiron battles of past years, who reported, will form the nucleus of the present team. They are all in excellent physical condition and appear fit for a hard season. The men who received their "D" last year and who have reported so far this year are as follows: Captain Ryan, Hoban, Ingersoll, Needham, Farnum, Sherwin, Elcock, Daly, Boylan, Dodge, Dingle, and Dudley.
