...evening. Although the team has failed to develop the fast and smooth team play which might be expected at the close of the season, the work last night showed considerable improvement over the crude playing in the early part of the week. The men pass fairly well, the chiefs faults in this particular being a tendency to neglect chances for long, open throws. This fault often serves to give the opposing team time to cover thoroughly before the ball reaches the vicinity of the goal and thus makes difficult a throw which, had it been made in the first place...
...place of Fosdick, who is ill plays a hard game. His tendency to hold his opponents, however, costs his team frequent penalties for fouls. He covers his opponent well and is effective in blocking attempted shots for goals. Fumbling the ball and lack of speed are his chief faults. Randall, at centre, is not yet up to the standard of his play last year.

The teamwork was better than usual and the men showed much energy and spirit. The main fault was the carlessness that has characterized the play of the forwards for the last few days...
...through nearly an hour's work of basket throwing and in a practice game which followed with the second team, they showed much improvement, scoring 26 points to 2, in the first half. The men blocked effectively and at the same time got well into forwarding the ball. The fault of failing to advance the ball by long throws was still in evidence, but not to so great a degree as in the game with Pennsylvania last Saturday night. The goal throwing was better, although it was inclined to be erratic. Following is the probable line-up for tonight...
