...weeks in preparation for the class championship series next week. The Senior and Junior elevens are both fully up the average standard for class teams, but the Sophomores are not yet well shaken together. The Junior team is perhaps the most advanced of any, by reason of having a good second eleven to practice against every day, besides having had outside games. A large number of the men now on the team were out last year and may be called experienced.

They have some very good material, however, and a good chance of developing a fast eleven, although heavy men are lacking...

A good deal of time was spent by Lewis in perfecting the guards-back plays of the second, and as a result, Barnard and Wheeler were very successful in running with the ball. The new defense, however, recently adopted by the 'Varsity, was often very effective in breaking up the plays...
