...work of the Freshman football squad yesterday was of a more strenuous nature than it has been previously. The squad was given practice in falling on the ball, then the backs were made to pick the ball from the ground while running. After a short drill in catching punts the squad was divided and two teams were put through a preliminary signal drill. The makeup of the first team was: Centre, Cotting; guards, Maguire and Dunlap; tackles, MacKay and Strong; ends, Rogers and Harding; quarter, Johnson; half-backs, Davis and Pope; fullback, Minot...
...more effective with fewer words; and the editorials are clumsily written. In "Up from the Depths" Mr. David shows that he possesses good material, and as the story stands it gives one a vivid and gruesome picture of a mining accident. But as writing it has many faults.

It is most earnestly to be desired that Harvard men will not fall short of their brethren of Berlin University in intellectual hospitality and zeal to-learn from foreign masters...
Practice for the University football squad yesterday opened with preliminary work consisting of quick-starting, charging and dodging practice. The same four elevens which had previously practiced together were then given signal practice in preparation for the short scrimmage which followed. No tackling was allowed by the coaches and no penalties were inflicted, the purpose of the scrimmage being merely to try out the forward passes and to see how the team worked against a light defense. Team A, in possession of the ball, first lined up against Team B on the latter's 20-yard line, but were unable...
