This course, which is six and three-quarters miles long, runs for about one mile through fields, a mile over macadam road, another over stony wood road, two more over macadam, a sixth on a dirt causeway, and ends with a pull up hill and one lap on the track. The start and finish are on the Yale athletic field...
...tried out yesterday, Grant and Brennan showed up especially well. Grant was right with the ball all the time, was down under kicks with the ends, and was always at hand to pull along the man who was carrying the ball. Brennan, who has only recently come to the front as a candidate for fullback, besides making many substantial gains through the line, showed considerable ability in running back the ball on kick-offs.

After padding downstream in easy stretches to Otter street, the men took a hard two-mile pull up-stream as for as the Magazine street beach.
