...showed a good fighting spirit; and their work in practice the last two days has been fast and snappy. As Brown has a heavy aggressive team and defeated the University team at Cambridge on January 24 by the score of 15 to 10, the chances are slightly in its favor...
When the war broke out, Major Lynch went directly to Port Arthur, which was being besieged. The defenses were of a very elaborate character, but the tide turned in favor of the Japanese with the capture of 203 Meter Hill, which enabled the attacking army to direct their mortar fire over the city and harbor, and led directly to Port Arthur's fall.

However, the Freshmen defeated Arlington High, the Interscholastic champions, yesterday afternoon by the score of 6 to 0. The chief fault of the Freshman team has been a tendency on the part of the forwards...
