...next Tuesday with games between the Seniors and Juniors, and the Sophomores and Freshmen. The games will be on the Freshman Field. Should the Freshmen win their game, the final contest in the series will take place on the Thursday following, but if the Sophomores win, it will be played on Friday.

...usual secret practice of the University eleven began yesterday afternoon, although it has not been the custom in former years to hold it so long before the final games. The first eleven was able to break up the guards-back plays completely, owing to the presence of Burden in the line-up and to the improvement Coach Lewis has brought about in the defense.

Strong defensive play by the second held the first for downs, but the guards-back formation could not gain. Exchanges of punts followed, and, one of Warren's kicks...
