...University second basketball team was defeated last night at Lowell by the Lowell Textile School, 24 to 9. The Harvard team played a fast game, but the play was very brought and, owing to the large number of fouls, there was little chance for consistent team work. A mixed system of rules was used, fouls being thrown from the 20-foot line, and the baskets were smaller than those to which the second team has become accustomed. McCarty excelled for Harvard...
...play much of the time. The offence showed a slight improvement; but the defence, especially at the beginning of the second half, when the second team scored several baskets and fouls in succession, was decidedly weak.

In the game with Boston College on Monday the play was fast and accurate throughout the first half, but in the second half both teams committed many fouls by holding, and the play was listless. On Tuesday a long practice was held in trick formations from the toss-up, which were worked successfully against the second team. In this game, however, the University team had the same tendency to slacken play after gaining a decided lead. The practice...
