...University football team will play the last mid-week game of the season in the Stadium this afternoon at 4 o'clock against Bates. Last year, Bates was very weak and was defeated 27 to 6; scoring their touchdown by the advantageous use of the forward pass and the quarterback kick. The Bates team this year is fast, but light, and the heavier University team should have little difficulty in gaining through the line. Cobb at quarterback, and Brown and Cummings, ends, proved very clever at the new game last year and repeatedly outplayed the Harvard forwards with their double...
...first and second teams in which the first scored three times with many substitutes in the line-up, some of the regular men going in towards the end. The second was given the ball on the first's 20-yard line, but on the third play, Fish intercepted a forward pass and ran 95 yards for a touchdown. After the subsequent kickoff, the first rushed the ball straight down the field, losing and regaining it once. Mason made the touchdown after a series of line plunges. The final touchdown was made by Bird after catching a long forward pass...
...Freshman football squad had a lively scrimmage yesterday, which lasted about half an hour. The ball was given to the second team in the centre of the field, but, after gaining first down once, they lost it to the first on a forward pass.

The best plays in this scrimmage were worked from a kick formation, on which Cutler...
...first team's goal and help for downs. Starr made the long run of the day, taking the ball from behind his own goal on a fake kick and running it out to the 38-yard line. In the early part of the scrimmage, the University team used three forward passes in five prays, making an average of 15 yards at each attempt. Wendell was the chief ground gainer for the seconds...
...football team was put through a hard drill this afternoon preliminary to a long scrimmage with the college team. There was not the snap in the work that has characterized the practice this fall and the fumbling was the worst of the season. There were few attempts to negotiate forward passes as the men followed them so poorly that they rarely regained the ball. The one redeeming feature of the afternoon was Coy's punting, his kicks averaging well over fifty yards. At present, there is title to choose between While and Coy, the two candidates for fullback...
