...when everyone is much interested in current topics--the war in the east and the Panama canal question--we are apt to forget that at other times there may be very little interest in current events. It is at such times that clubs for the discussion of contemporary subjects break down...
Grant and Underwood played well together in the first half, but toward the eno slackened in their speed. Randall, at center, covered his opponent much better than usual, but on the defense was still too quick to break away. The guards played throughout an excellent game, both in blocking and in passing to the forwards...
...aggressive and generally effective game, and is of all the linesmen except Bowditch probably the most reliable. A.

Sugden, Carrick and Wilder, at centre and in the guard positions, are heavy, but slow. Meier, who has in the last two weeks been tried at left tackle, has been effective in defense...
...Freshmen was disappointing, although the Boston Latin team showed considerable strength. Frequently the Freshmen were held for downs and were unable for the most part to gain successively.

A good deal of practice with a very slow recover has developed in the men better control of slides than has been seen in most of the recent. University eights, but at a stroke much over thirty, especially when the men are tired after...
