...saved his backs more by punting oftener. His defense was strong and his blocking-off particularly effective. He was called upon to kick the goals and was successful in all but the last attempt, when the ball struck the upright and bounded back. Moulton and Cabot proved to be almost invulnerable on the ends although several of Cornell's longest runs were made on fakes through tackle...
...eleven has not played any regular games this fall so that it is difficult to gauge its real strength with any exactness. The practice has consisted almost entirely of signal practice and scrub games against the substitutes and other class teams. The line is fairly heavy for a class team and the men are good individually, but they do not play well together.

The front piazza will be extended in front of the ell in its new position and there will be a piazza ten feet wide between the ell and the main building. The necessary piles are almost all down and the gravel which is being dredged out of the bed of the river above the Boylston street bridge is being used to fill in with. The city of Cambridge which owns the house is doing the work. The architect is George A. Moore of Boston...
