...preliminary practice of the three teams began, as usual, with tackling, falling on the ball, and breaking through. After a few days of work of this sort, teams were formed against one another whenever numbers permitted, and short halves were played. The Junior team seems to have made the most satisfactory progress for the ten day's work. In yesterday's practice both the first and second elevens were alert and ready. The followed the ball well, fumbled but little, and entered aggressively into every play. The Sophomores, on the other hand, showed very little knowledge of the game. Their...
...editorials are addressed to Freshmen and are, in short, attempts to cover lack of wit by an abundance of words. The third editorial, on last year's victories, like the others, has no spontaneity and is neither good nor bad. The specimen lecture again appears under the heading of "Phonographic Marvels" and in this case is an excellent summary of peculiarities which are, however, well known.

Devens returned the kick-off and Wesleyan began to rush. Twice they gained through Lawrence and then punted to Kendall on the ten yard line. Kendall next cleared the end for twenty-five yards and Hallowell punted. On the return punt...
...changed conditions, therefore, its work will be confined to executive functions, to the arrangement of the trials for the intercollegiate debates, and of debates between the Class Clubs, as well as to the task of furnishing coaches and critics for the Freshman and Sophomore Clubs; general oversight, in short, of debating interests. Membership, therefore, would be largely honorary, and would probably be made up of University debaters and the presidents of the Class Clubs. The necessary running expenses could then be met by a small assessment on the Class Clubs...
