...freshman track and field games yesterday were unusually good, at least so far as the track events were concerned. Only the bicycle race and mile walk were disappointing. The best track event was the half mile run, which E. E. Hollister won by several seconds in 2 min., 4 2-5 sec. He never ran a race before, and never had on a running shoe until this fall. The best field event was C. J. Paine's record of 5 ft., 8 7-8 in. for the high jump. The quarter by Mansfield in 54 3-5 sec. was also...
...football practice yesterday was marked by an unusual event,-the defeat of the first eleven by the second. There was nearly an hour of hard play, and the second second one touchdown, while the 'varsity failed. But the second eleven had three halfbacks, and all the attention of the coaches was devoted to them. Moreover, the first usually had to make more than the customary five yards...

The blocking seems still to be the main feature of the play. The system of interference is altogether better than in previous years. Gould was yesterday given a chance at quarterback on the first eleven and Foster played on the second...
...half mile special open to Harvard men, proved an interesting event, though the time was very slow. Four men com-competed. C. S. Pierce '95, J. W. Eddy, '95, T. R. Kimball, '95, and G. B. Pierce '93 started off at a good pace and formed into a procession which lasted four laps. The men finished in the above order. The time...
...special mile with limited handicaps was the best contested event of the meeting. The men all kept bunched together and on the lower turn of the third lap, a collision occurred which pulled four men out of the race. Berlo remounted but could do nothing. Robinson was badly bruised about the face and arms. E. A. McDuffee starting from the 25 yard mark had an easy time winning the event in 2 m. 31 3 5 sec. H. J. Pote. 90 yards, was second and G. C. Quinn, 70 yards, finished third...
