...line were not forced to play hard football, but there was no reason for not blocking more kicks. Boal played his usual hard game until he was replaced by Hollingsworth. Rainsford played in his first game this season and showed his quickness by breaking up a false-kick play. The tackles were not tried enough by Amherst to show whether they had made the desired improvement...
...Library a collection of one hundred and fifty-five uniformly-bound volumes of Norwegian literature. They are chiefly the works of modern authors. The object of the club in making this interesting and valuable gift is stated in a letter to the President and Fellows as follows: "To show in a simple but useful way our appreciation of the fact that courses in modern Scandinavian literature are now regularly offered by the University, and to express our hope that they may steadily grow in favor...
...whole, the practice of yesterday showed general improvement over the play in the Bowdoin game. Especially noticeable was the brace taken by the backs in the last five minutes of the practice.

...strong a tackle two years ago on the 'Varsity, has not yet even approached the excellence of which he is capable. Though apt to become over-anxious and get off-side, J. Lawrence, it would seem, has some chance of supplacing Swain. To hold his place, the latter must show some of that improvement, which has characterized Reid's playing. Yet the season is still so early, that there is chance enough through the excellent coaching that is being given by W. H. Lewis L. '95, P. D. Haughton '99, M. Donald '99, J. E. N. Shaw...
