...University hockey squad held the fastest practice of the year in the Arena last evening, when the first and second teams played a 45-minute scrimmage, trying at 3-3. The forward lines were weak, however in team-work, the tendency of the wings to carry the puck too far down the rink before passing being especially noticeable, although the fact that they were at all time able to keep up with the centre men was encouraging...
...Freshman football team was put through another long practice yesterday afternoon. After punting drill, in which Bradlee, Handy, and Hardwick took part, the first team held a dummy scrimmage with the substitutes. Practice ended with a long signal drill, which proved to be one of the hardest and fastest the team has had this season...
...Duncan, left forward on the University team for the past two years, R. C. Clifford '13 and Hopkins and Sortwell of last year's Freshman team. These men will assure a first class forward line. Clifford, although he has been ineligible to play before, is one of the fastest forwards about Boston, and was a member of the champion Crescent Athletic Club team last year.

Before entering College, they played several years...
...line-tearing game to perfection, and he was responsible for nearly all the gains through the centre positions. At left halfback Campbell played the best game of his career to date, his 18-yard run at the beginning of the game making possible the first score. He is the fastest man in the backfield when carrying the ball, and his dodging was a feature of Saturday's game. At fullback Huntington played during the whole game. His strong point was his excellent defensive work and his quick way of following the ball on fumbles and concealed plays...
...following day, Beachey took nearly all the prizes and accomplished one of the most remarkable feats that has been done at any meet this year, by beating, in his Curtis biplane, one of the fastest Bleriot monoplanes, over the Boston Light course. Ovington took second place. A wind of 28 miles an hour was blowing, and on account of this Beachey was the only aviator willing to risk the flight to the Blue Hills observatory and back for the $1,000 prize. He encountered many difficulties on the trip but accomplished it safely in 20 minutes, 22 seconds...
