...first secret practice of the year took place yesterday. The first and second elevens played a game of 20 and 15 minute halves, the first team winning by 12 to 0. The interference was poor and most of the gains were made by individual playing. Considerable ground was made by bucking the line. The guards and tackles, besides doing good work on the offense, were generally firm on the defense. Early in the first half the second team made successive gains through the line amounting to fifteen yards, but after that, even when using the guards back formation, could make...
...liberality of Mr. E. W. Forbes '95 four more original works of art have just been added to the collection of the Fogg Museum, three of which are now to be seen on the wall of the upper gallery. They are; A painting in tempera on a gold ground by Benvenuto de Siena, representing the Madonna enthroned with saints; a painting in tempera attributed to Pinturicchio, of the Madonna and Child on a gold ground, and an oil painting of the Venetian School representing the Madonna and Child with the Infant St. John. The first of these is a work...

These were not made by individual playing alone, but in most cases by the aid of brilliant interference. There was no fumbling nor holding, but a good deal of ground was lost by offside play and interference with the second team's center...
...only encouraging work was Burnett's playing at right guard. He charged vigorously and quickly, followed the ball well and did more than his share in stopping plays. He and J. Lawrence did the only effective offensive work, but J. Lawrence lost a great deal of ground by holding and playing off-side. This fault seems to have a strong hold on him and is spoiling his otherwise brilliant work. On the other side of the line Graydon was a weak spot, and Eaton, who took his place, was also of little use until Donald went in against...
...first half was given up almost entirely to a punting contest between Daly and Mifflin. Daly gained some ground but Gierasch's fumble of a punt lost it again. Near the end of the half a forty yard run by Kendall took the ball to the twenty-five yard line, but the chance to score was lost by a fumble. Soon after the second half began, a fair catch gave Kendall a chance for a goal from the field from the forty-five yard line, but the ball went too low and was blocked. Several exchanges of punts ended...
