...Weld Club will hold its annual fall regatta on October 24. An entirely new plan for the races will be tried this year. Instead of having the events come off in the basin, below Harvard Bridge, they will be rowed in the short stretch above the Boylston Street Bridge. This arrangement will make the races less than a third of a mile long, or about eighty strokes. Cups will be given, and an entry fee of twenty-five cents will be charged...
West Point has tried the experiment this year of dispensing with a collegiate coach, and of handling their own team. They also are handicapped in training by the military discipline and by the short and inconvenient time allowed for practice. While they easily defeated Tufts in their first game they were beaten by Pennsylvania State College last Saturday. They had an easy chance to score, but lost the ball at a critical time. The game also showed that while the defensive work of the line was admirable, the ends were very weak. As the Harvard interference is undeniably strong, this...

...game scheduled for yesterday between C. M. T. S. and the Freshman eleven could not be played because the Freshmen had not taken their strength tests. The Juniors took the place of the Freshmen, however, and two short halves were played. In the first half, the Juniors, who had several substitutes playing, were pushed steadily back, and a touchdown would probably have been scored against them but for the call of time. With several new men in the line-up, the Juniors, started the second half with a rush, but although they gained continually, they were unable to score...
...short halves which were played yesterday, the first eleven scored three times. In the first half, the second kicked off to Daly, who ran the length of the field for a touchdown. The rest of the half was devoted to line bucking, but, owing to the strong defense of the second eleven, which succeeded in holding the first on the fifteen-yard line, there was no more scoring. In the second half, the first scored twice by line plunging, Ellis and Warren carrying the ball over the line...
