The Freshman football team had three hours of hard practice yesterday afternoon in preparation for their first game, to be played at Groton tomorrow. Both linemen and backfield candidates started the afternoon at the dummies, after which the linemen were instructed in general offensive tactics by P. Withington '09. The backs practiced kicking and catching punts. V. Kennard '09, of the 1908 football team, gave the men some hints on drop-kicking.
