After the secret practice the first eleven lined up against a team of substitutes for further work on the forward pass and other open plays. In this work there was no attempt at a regular scrimmage. The team seems to have acquired a fair amount of confidence in the use of the open plays, and in consequence they work out to better advantage, as was seen in the Springfield game last Saturday. Toward the end of this work Coach Reid and Burr tried several goals from placement behind the line of scrimmage with rather poor success, the ball being blocked...
Captain Foster spoke of the attempt which has been made this year to give members of the visiting teams a more friendly reception than in former years. They have been introduced to their opponents on the Harvard team, and both teams have run on to the field together.

Leonard at the beginning did some very fast playing, but toward the end of the match he played rashly and carelessly, often making double faults in an attempt to place two swift serves.

The wistful melody of the same contributor's verses have somewhat of this same defect of vagueness. H. Hagedorn '07 in his perilous attempt in an "Ode to Nature" is more successful both in form and thought than he had any right to expect. The "Epitaph on John the Orangeman" is exceedingly happy, though it may be questioned whether this is appropriate praise for an epitaph. "Paolo and Paris," by R. E. Rogers...
