...Freshman football team will play the M. I. T. freshmen on Soldiers Field at 4 o'clock. The Freshmen have shown some improvement this week, and should win, but such costly fumbles as were made in yesterday's practice might change the result of the game. The probable line-up of the Freshmen will be as follows: r.e., Whitman; r.t., Carr; r.g., Pell; c., Sloane; l.g., Carrick; l.t., Paul; l.e., Wilder; q.b., Metcalf; l.h.b., Nichols; r.h.b., Hodges; f.b., Hogg...
...second day of secret practice for the University eleven yesterday showed but little improvement. On end runs, the interference formed more quickly than usual and afforded better protection to the runner, but on line-plunges the backs were so slow that the holes made for them were closed again before they could reach the line and consequently only very short gains were possible. Also, in handling punts the backs were very poor and fumbled frequently...
Graydon played in the line-up for a short time, but was not used much in advancing the ball. Harrison was tried as substitute fullback in place of Meier who is not well and has been sent to Exeter for a week to rest, and to coach the team there. Neither Jones nor Bowditch is yet in condition to do heavy work, but both are expected out by the end of the week. Burgess is disabled temporarily with a strained side...

The ends fail to show expected progress under rigorous coaching and the tackles give evidence of discouraging weakness in their defensive play. In the centre of the line the situation, as has been the case all year, is more encouraging. The three centre...
...duties of the position, and constant coaching will have to supplement his natural ability to make him even a fair and for the championship games. Neal, the leading candidate for this position until his injury in the Wesleyan game, is again in condition to play. Back of the line S. Ward has shown the best work of the many candidates for right halfback, and if be continues to improve, seems likely to hold the position. At fullback, Farmer and Bowman have been alternated in the practice; the latter is still in poor physical condition...
