...Emmons, who temporarily is out of the game with a bad foot that may make him unavailable for the Holy Cross contest on Saturday. Buell, who took his place at second, although playing there for the first time this season, performed creditably. Hallock, in center field, proved a veritable bulwark to the Crimson defence. Time after time he made running catches of flies that looked like sure hits; in the eleventh he cut off two bids for long safeties by plays that brought the crowd to its feet...
...forward line-up of the Freshmen is a splendid husky affair. D. S. Holder, E. K. McCagg, S. Bradford, R. Hubbard, and C. Hubbard form a sturdy bulwark from tackle to tackle, though Bradford's passing is far better than his line play. Holder particularly is an almost impassable barrier at tackle. The wingmen, L. C. Larrabee and W. N. Gates, are average ends, but have improved steadily...

A companion attack man who has played a sterling game this year is C. L. Nunneker '22, also a clever stick handler. G. K. Bragger '22, C. H. Kimball '22 and G. G. Toohy '21 are good men and will probably fill berths on the team next year...
Lampy is nothing if not versatile. He arraigned the faculty and the undergraduates; he has turned from that bulwark of New England tradition-the Manuscript--to the "Americanism" and osmopolitanism" of Hearst. But never before the current number has he set himself up as a crusader. Now he has dropped his wonted jollity and dedicated himself to that "stern god, Caustic Alkali." He has shed his Jester's trappings, has taken on a snake skin, and, with adder's blood, pursues the vermin. phrosyne sits alone at home...
