...experience of last year, when the men were trained by a competent professional, gives point to this view. Though the squad as a whole was not above the average in ability, a team was developed which gave Technology a close race, defeated Yale, and made a good showing in the intercollegiate meet. This year the team has been unfortunate in losing the services of its best performer, but that is all the more reason why unusual pains should be spent on the development of the rest...
...used very good judgment in his selection of plays. His drop-kick was perfect, the ball going over the bar from the 31-yard line; but in the backfield both he and Frothingham misjudged and fumbled very badly, losing, in this way, all the advantage which Minot's kicking gave to Harvard. The West Point team was distinctly weak, the line could not hold, though every man fought hard. Dean, the left halfback, played a strong game and was almost certain of catching punts even though the ends were right...
...Boston City Club gave a dinner last evening in honor of the Presidents of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

We wish to express our appreciation of the delightful reading which Professor Trueblood gave on Wednesday evening.

The refined art and the pleasing personality of the reader added attractiveness to a piece of good literature. We hope that other such occasions may be offered...
After the first team had been sent in, the substitutes lined up against the second team, the latter taking the ball in mid-field. A fumbled punt, several gains outside tackle, and a forward pass gave the second the ball near the substitutes' goal. In three line plays the ball was rushed over the line, Tryon making the only score of the afternoon. For the rest of the scrimmage the substitutes played with only ten men, Rogers having been taken out. With this handicap, and by means of very ragged playing, the substitutes twice forced the ball to the second...
