...object of these runs is primarily to get as many men as possible interested in track work; and secondarily to keep the men in good condition for the winter and spring work. This work is particularly advantageous to the distance...
...work of the Freshman squad yesterday was devoted entirely to perfecting the defense of the first eleven, and practicing the ends in getting down under punts. No regular practice game was played. The first lined up with the second and the latter were given the ball during the entire play. The ends and backs on the first worked well together and tackled their men repeatedly for losses. The linemen were coached by J. Lawrence '01, and played low and hard; but they showed a tendency to get off-side and in a regular game would have often been penalized...
...whole the men played a careful game. They did not tackle cleanly, but managed nevertheless to choke up the line plays. On the offensive they did not play as well, allowing their opponents to break through. The interference was effective at times, but frequently failed to get the ends out of the way. Cutts and Blagden at tackles showed contrasting faults. Cutts paid too much attention to his opponent and was consequently often drawn away from the play. Blagden, however, paid not enough attention to his opponent and allowed him to slip through frequently. Cooper got down well under punts...

Besides Lewis and Waters the following graduate coaches were out: E. N. Wrightington '97, W. L. Garrison '97, N. S. Cabot '98, G. W. Bouve '98, R. W. Emmons '95 and P. D. Haughton...
...Cutts was stronger than his opponent, but was so slow that he could open no holes. Blagden, however, played a faster game than usual. He charged fiercely and tackled runners for losses twice. Both tackles were failures in the tackles-back formation. Campbell and Clark were very slow in getting down under punts, and on the offence were unable to afford any interference. They were as reliable as usual on the defence. Matthews showed the worst form of the season at quarterback. Besides running off the plays in a listless, uncertain way, he fumbled five passes from the centre...
