...secret practice which the football team held yesterday afternoon in the Stadium was one of the fastest and most encouraging of the entire season. The whole team played with more spirit, showed more life and dash than it has shown in any signal practice this year. There was no scrimmage, but both the first team and substitutes were given a long "dummy" scrimmage against the second team. Much attention was devoted to the handling of punts, to O'Flaherty's drop-kicking, and to the individual faults of each...
...race for freshman eights early proved a runaway for Harvard. The Freshman crew came up to its reputation of being the fastest Freshman eight that Coach Wray has ever turned out, and finished about 14 lengths ahead of Yale in 11 minutes, 22 seconds, giving a splendid exhibition of fast, clean rowing throughout the course.

Blumer saved himself at the finish and allowed Leger to pass him for first place. The time, 50 2-5 seconds, was the fastest of the three heats. Ross of Syracuse led from the start in the second heat, with deSelding of Harvard always within a few yards. After the turn the pair drew away from all the other runners except Conger of Princeton, who at one time threatened to displace deSelding from second. Both...
