...steady practice of last week had its effect and the University team played a much better game than it did in the game with the Fosse team a week ago. The passing and dribbling was surer and the team-work, on the whole, was better. The work of the forwards, especially Jennings, Needham, and F. S. Hopkins, was much improved, while Captain Barron and H. G. Francke put up a strong game for the defence...
...semi-finals of the doubles, Armstrong and Washburn defeated G. B. Kayser '14 and O. Williams '14, 6-2, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4. The match was closely contested, Kayser and Williams displaying much better form than hitherto. Kayser's serve was particularly good; he won one game on four straight service aces. Armstrong and Washburn, however, kept the issue well in hand by good team-work...

On the defence, the work was much better, as the line held well; St. Mark's only long gains were made on trick plays...

It is to be regretted...
...second half was played by the substitutes, who were weaker but far from bad. In this half Holy Cross was given a better chance to show her skill, and succeeded once in getting the ball into Harvard territory as far as the 12-yard line. But there her runners were thrown for losses of 15 yards and the danger was over. Bradlee in this half succeeded in getting off some good gains which showed him almost in a class with the first string men, and H. Frothingham, who played at end for the first time, was responsible for several good...
