...Freshman football squad was divided into six teams which were lined up against each other for the first time. Even considering that this was the first line-up the playing was very loose and erratic. As the men were nervous they failed to work together and did not follow the ball. On the offensive the interference was slow in forming and was easily broken up by individual playing on the defence. The men seem to have mastered the rudimentary principles fairly well, but will have to work hard before any signs of team work appear. All the teams were evenly...
...some men in College who try to be popular and influential, some who lead quiet and retired lives; he knows that men of both kinds succeed and fail in after life. But whether in solitude or society, there is one good rule for the man of intellectual life to follow: "Never think of yourself." After entering college a man no longer belongs to himself, he is joined to this ancient and serviceable University, and belongs to the living and dead of its company.

Together with Barnard he was very successful in helping along the runners on the offense. King, in spite of his weight, followed the ball better than the other men, and did some good work in the line. A Marshall was put in at guard for the first time. He did not use his weight to advantage and was slow in breaking through. Of the tackles used, Knowlton and Wright were the most...
...allowed to keep the ball to give the first team practice in defensive work. Six plays were tried without gain and on the next two, owing to Bowditch's clever tackling, the second team was forced back from the twenty-five to the ten yard line. The line ups follow: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Jones, l.e. r.e., Littig Wright, l.t. r.t., Oveson A.
