...expanded daily themes. "Counterfeiting," by A. H. Gilbert '01, is an ingenuous and amusing little sketch of a somewhat conventional sort. The Hon. Jack Castleton, a shy, weak youth of the "gilded set" and the educated valet are familiar figures; but the writer puts them through their parts with skill and humor. A throughly studied final situation gives the sketch the needed balance...
...line on the defense was a tribute to the skill of Coach Lewis. Sargent made up for the absence of Boal, and played his position well. Hale handled Burnett remarkably well in spite of his light weight and of his short experience in the position. Brown and Burden were very closely matched and neither had any permanent advantage. Both lines played unostentatiously but effectively as is shown in the fact that there was no scoring...
...times. On the offense the team used only the simpler plays, gaining ground around the ends by good interference. Sawin, at left half, made most of the touchdowns scored by the first eleven.

Burnett had frequent chances to kick goals from the field, but owing to the slippery ball succeeded only once. One of his kicks, however, from the fifty-seven yard line, went far above the cross-bar, but outside the post by a few feet. Reid played...

The pictures of the Yard on the nights of the Sophomore-Freshman rushes are executed with skill, especially the first one, and the small drawings could well be increased in number as they contain much merit...

Not only are the candidates for it players of little experience, but they have shown nothing more than mediocre skill. Consequently, some new main from the incoming class will probably be developed. This will not be the case on the ends, especially if Coy and Hubbell can come out to compete with. Ordway, Van Wicklen and Schweppe. Back of the line, Sullivan at quarter and Dudley and Townsend as backs...
