...Gozzaldi '14, F. J. O'Brien '114, and K. Reynolds '14, are all promising men. H. M. Warren '13 is the only man of last year's 780-yard relay team that will be able to compete this winter, as H. P. Lawless '13 is still in poor physical condition F. H. Blackman '14, R. St. B. Boyd '14 F. W. Copeland '13, W. H. Lacey '12, and W. M. Tugman '14 are runners who have made a good showing in cross country work, and, with Captain P. R. Withington '12, who will try this event for the first time...
...scrimmage with the Technology team in the Arena Saturday afternoon, each side scoring five goals. The forward line on the scrub team was the same as the one which has been playing on the first University team in practice, but it was so hindered in skating and passing by poor ice that its work was hardly a fair test.

...each team showed weakness inside its opponents' danger zone. Harvard had four chances to score and plainly showed the need of either a sure drop-kicker or a heavier offence. Yale had two good chances, lost the first through inability to force Harvard's line followed by a poor pass when Howe was about to kick, and lost the second because Howe's drop-kick failed to go over the goal posts. It has been suggested that the new rules were largely responsible for these failures, but perhaps they should reflect more to the credit of the defence...
