...fifteen minute scrimmage yesterday afternoon; marked by fast and accurate play, the University football team scored three touchdowns and a safety on the second team, using the forward pass with great success. Although the weather was rather warm, the men on the first eleven played an extremely hard game, not once failing to gain their distance. On the defensive the work was by far the best yet shown in practice, for in a 15-minute period of supplementary scrimmage, after the real game, the second eleven was allowed to keep game, the second eleven was allowed to keep possession...
Saturday afternoon the Freshman football team tied with Phillips Exeter Academy on Soldiers Field, neither side scoring. On the offensive the Freshmen were superior to Exeter, but both teams were weak on the defense. The Freshman backfield was fast, especially Gregory, right half-back, who showed himself a good ground-gainer. Exeter's ends were faster than d'Este or Browne. Vaughn for Exeter did good work running back punts...
...final round of the interclass tennis, and one match remains unfinished. O. W. Knauth '09 and R. H. Eggleston '09 defeated S. T. Stackpole '07 and H. W. Nichols '07, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4.

The play was uniformly fast and well contested...
...Leonard '08 and W. H. Y. Hackett '08, 6-1, 6-2, 6-1. From the start Sulloway and Cole took the lead and Leonard and Hackett were forced to play an uphill game. Every deuce game went to Sulloway and Cole. The match was not particularly fast, although Leonard and Hackett occasionally made brilliant plays giving each other good support. Sulloway and Cole played an even and steady, but not a particularly brilliant game. They served faultlessly and carefully, but did not always play well together, and were occasionally passed by well placed shots. Leonard at the beginning...
...second team played a fast game, and showed ability in handling punts. During the last half the ball was kept constantly in Exeter's territory by fast and aggressive playing. The feature of the contest was Gilder's difficult goal from the field late in the second half. For this goal he tried three times during the game, and once the ball missed the goal by glancing off the goal post. Exeter played a ragged game, fumbling at the most critical times, and being continually penalized for offside playing, holding, and once for tripping. The penalty for this latter offense...
