...Butler exaggerates the peril. It is fairly common experience that the college student or the schoolboy, if given free rein, will not go in too heavily for the subjects that teach one how to make a living. Their inclination is pretty strong for the snap courses that teach us how to live. New York Evening Post...
...brilliant 25-yard run by Ellis, their flashing halfback, had succeeded in crossing the Freshman goal line. Four rushes by Gehrke, one of twenty-eight yards, and two by P. Jenkins carried the ball straight down the field 75 yards for a touchdown, which the former made. The lighter schoolboy line seemed to crumple before Gehrke's driving plunges, which sweep right through, gathering momentum as they go. Moreover, in defence and offence, the star fullback showed a natural football instinct, sensing plays and invariably doing the right thing at the right time...
...former race has met with a hearty response from schoolboy track athletes, especially from schools about Worcester and Providence, where hill-and-dale work is especially fostered. Of interest among the entries is Wakefield High, where Eddie Farrell turned out champions.

The race will be over a course of 2 1-2 miles...
...meet Boston University in a practice contest tomorrow. Particular efforts are being made to find more material on the lower teams, and the scrimmages served that purpose. The substitutes found little trouble in the light Rindge line-ups, and ploughed through for scores almost at will, especially against the schoolboy regulars. H. S.

Exeter, with one of the best schoolboy crews that has rowed on the Charles for some time, won that event, making the fast time of 5 minutes 21 seconds over the mile course from Cottage Farm Bridge to the Harvard Bridge. There were four schools entered in the race, Exeter, Brookline High, Huntington and Noble and Greenough. Exeter finished three lengths ahead of Brookline, who finished second, while Noble and Greenough and Huntington, were third and fourth respectively...
