Owing to the damp weather, no matches in the University tennis championship tournament were played last Friday. All of those scheduled for that day will be played this afternoon at the same hours, with the exception of the following changes...
...minutes' work on the dummies. When the second squad appeared on the field, the University men left the tackling practice and went into the Stadium, where the turf is in wonderful condition for football, being just soft enough to given a good footing and not in the least damp or slippery. Here the work was chiefly in running down under and catching punts. Felton, Milholland, Bradlee, and Bradley did the kicking and all got off kicks averaging at least 40 yards. Felton's spirals were up to his old standard and in many cases were good...
...practice yesterday was not quite as spirited as on the previous day, due in part to the damp weather, which made it very warm for the men. In the 15 minute scrimmage the most interesting feature was a 22-yard end run by Lockwood, who carried the ball to within easy striking distance of the second team's goal, enabling the first team to score its only touchdown.

He gave three bases, made a wild pitch, and allowed seven hits, two of which were for three bases. He was remarkably steady in the eighth and ninth innings, however. The playing of Frantz was the most valuable for Harvard. Aside from bringing in the winning runs, he made a throw to second in the eighth, which resulted in a double play. Reid did not hit as well as usual, but played his position well...
