...this system because prospective travel was not sufficient to warrant such an expense. Under the new plan the company will build the Massachusetts avenue subway as soon as legislative sanction is obtained, but it may postpone building the Cambridge street route for 10 years. At the expiration of that period the city will have the right to build this subway, and after a 20-year period the right of purchasing all the subways...
...University Second eleven was defeated by Exeter on Saturday in a hard fought game by 11 to 5. Exeter made two touchdowns in the first half, better team play and greater weight counting in her favor, but in the second period the second team's line-up was changed and the ball was carried down the field for a touchdown.

...spite of the warm weather the practice of the University team yesterday was exceptionally fast and hard. Three touchdowns were scored by the first eleven in a 16-minute period.

...practice of the University football team yesterday was characterized by hard and spirited play and faster starting. The first team scored twice in a 16-minute period, and the second eleven was able to gain first down only once, and was repeatedly thrown back for losses. The right side of the line was the weak place on the first team, owing to the absence of Squires and Kersburg, but Fultz played much better than usual, and was well supported by the rush line. The offensive work of the first eleven was spirited and snappy leaving little to be desired...
