...Because of the heat on Thursday most of the practice was spent in rudimentary work, only a short scrimmage being held between the university and college teams. The practice was open on Friday afternoon. Two touchdowns were made by the university team. In making the first score, so fast was the play of the first team that 40 yards were gained in five plays. Roome played brilliantly as halfback, and Veeder punted well. W. O. Hitchcock '95, Julian W. Curtiss '79, and F. S. Butterworth '95 assisted the regular coaches...
With more of the regular players, back in the line-up, the scrimmage yesterday afternoon, the longest so far this season, showed great improvement over the work on Monday. There was much less fumbling and the offense played fast and hard, getting off together nearly every time. Although scored on twice in two 14-minute halves, the second eleven held fairly well and made first down several times. Davie was tried at fullback and ran well with the ball. Knowlton played tackle on the first eleven, and his defensive work was very good. Ball, whose elbow was dislocated...
...sprints, L. P. Dodge '08, who won third place in the 100-yard dash, and second in the 220-yard dash in the Yale dual meet, and third place in the latter event at Philadelphia last year, will probably develop into a very fast runner. The only other short distance men of particular promise are E. D. Hamilton '06, who has done about 10 1-5s. in the 100-yard dash, P. C. Lockwood '07, who qualified in the 220-yard dash last spring, in Philadelphia, and F. H. Davis '07. The loss of W. A. Schick...
...Fast men are also needed for the 880-yard run. H. H. Whitman '06, who won second place in the dual meet in 2m. 3s., is the most promising man, but it is probable that he will not be in Cambridge for the second half year. S. C. Smith '03 has left college. C. Brinsmade '07, who ran on the half-mile team against Yale in the B. A. A. meet last February, A. Dana '06, and H. A. Whitman '06 will be the candidates for this distance. S. Curtis '05 will not be eligible for the team...

There were 25 men in the fast squad, and 10 others in the slow squad. The University team will be chosen from these two squads in about two weeks...
