...second team. The only encouraging feature of the half was the fact that, at times, the men showed signs of playing together. In the second half, the forwards were interchanged, the first team men playing on the second. For the first thirty minutes of play in this half, the lifeless work of the forwards combined with the weak defense of the second team backs was unable to hold the second team forwards, who played spiritedly and together, and scored 6 goals to 2. In the last minutes of play, however, the University forwards developed the only real team-work that...
Only four of the men who have been playing regularly on the University eleven took part in the secret practice yesterday. The scrimmage, which lasted seventeen minutes, was slow and lifeless and practically featureless. Two touchdowns were scored by the University eleven.

The large score was due chiefly to errors by the high school team. The three Freshman pitchers did well at critical moments, but all the men showed a tendency to bat high flies...
...this department, Coolidge and R. P. Kernan were especially strong, each meeting three hits, and the latter two home runs and a three-base hit. The fielding of the team, however, was not so clean as in the game with Georgetown, and the base-running was crude and lifeless. Coburn pitched a fairly steady game, striking out nine men, and allowing but three bases on balls...
