...squad of football men who take daily exercise in the gymnasium is now made up of about twenty men. The work is very light, consisting only of short chest-weight and dumb-bell exercises and a few minutes of hurdling. The squad includes the following players from last year's team. A. Brewer, Hallowell, Wheeler, F. G. Shaw, Doucette, J. N. Shaw, and Moulton. There are also several men from the class teams including Hoague and Bouve from the freshmen...
Five of last year's football team met in the Gymnasium yesterday afternoon and went through some light exercise with the chest-weights and dumb-bells, ending with a run.

Instead of playing scrub games as formerly, the men practice stick work in the cage and then do light chest weight and dumb bell work, followed by a short run. As soon as the weather moderates enough to permit out-door practice, the work will be changed again and the scrub games will probably be resumed...
