...Somes '08 played in some of the minor games last fall, but is too slow for the position. D. P. Starr '08 and M. L. Newhall '08 are two very good quarterbacks and the choice between them is doubtful. Starr has the advantage in weight, experience, and ability to drive the team, but Newhall is much surer in the backfield and is a good dodger. N. L. Hall '07, who proved too light for end was tried near the end of last season at quarterback and showed aptness for the position. He is a fair punter and drop-kicker...
...errorless game. Simons, besides accepting his only chance, made a clean single, sending McCall to third, from where he scored on a wild pitch. McCall and Leonard played with their usual speed. Of the outfield Harvey had the most chances, and made one splendid catch of Hay's drive over shortstop. Dexter made a fast throw to second base in the fourth and caught Hare off the base, after Thomas had singled to left field...

The men put more life into the work than has been seen for some time past, and there was no loss of drive or shortening of the stroke.

Scoring started in the first of the third, when Leonard singled, and Stephenson followed with another good hit. McCall sent a short fly to the pitcher, but Dexter filled the bases by a fast drive to Jones, who fumbled the ball. Burr received a base on balls, forcing the first run, and a wild pitch alowed Stephenson and Dexter to score. In the same inning Paine and Tift singled for Brown, and Raymond followed with a home run that tied the score. In the last of the next inning Brown scored two more runs, on a single by Roye...
...bridge the crew rowed to Harvard bridge in one stretch at a stroke of 30 and 34. Despite a cross wind tending to make the boat rock, the boat went more smoothly than yesterday, as the men showed evener form at the finish of the stroke and seemed to drive the boat without effort...
