...practice yesterday took place in a hard rain which made the field very slippery and difficult to play on. This was good for the team in that it gave the men experience in handling a wet ball, which may be of advantage in important games. For the first ten minutes of the game between the first and second elevens very little fumbling was done, but toward the end it seemed impossible for the backs to handle the ball cleanly. Both teams relied entirely on mass plays and punts, as end running was out of the question. The first team barely...
...first, however, was stronger in individual work, kept the ball constantly near the goal and scored once on straight football. The first team also made four goals from the field and forced the second to make a safety. The coaches were more energetic than usual and kept the men hard at their work throughout...
Eaton went in at left tackle on the first eleven for the first time this year. He put plenty of energy in his work, was very active, and succeeded better than the other men in the line in helping the backs. He endured the hard work well and was not exhausted. J.

What the cause of such direct violation of all athletic discipline could have been it is hard to understand.

Although necessary absence is excusable and a preference for other branches of athletics is legitimate, no circumstance can excuse the deliberate failure to appear without...
...took seats in the boats with the Freshmen. Many of the candidates have not rowed before, and the material as a whole is rather light, which is probably due to the fact that the heavier men are playing football. The crews are being coached particularly on time, a hard leg drive, and on shooting away the hands quickly. The following men assisted in the coaching: A. W. Stevens '97, R. F. Blake '99, W. B. Wheelwright '01, G. Blake '01 W. M. Ivins '01, R. O. Burton '01 and D. D. Evans '01. The Newell Freshmen will be called...
