...slight improvement has been made a batting, although the men are far from showing good form. In fielding the work has been poor. The men are still slow and uncertain in fielding ground balls and are inaccurate in throwing to first base. In running to bases little ability has been shown. At sliding bases, however, the work has been fast and satisfactory. The pitchers have been especially coached in controlling their throws, but have not evinced any decided improvements in this respect. The catchers are still weak and uncertain in throwing and do not afford the pitchers any assistance...
Every day in the week except Saturday candidates for the University and class crews are rowing regularly in the tank and on the machines with individual instruction from Coach Wray. The men at present are not progressing favorably and seem slow in grasping the fundamental ideas. Although they have not yet been divided into definite crews, it is probable that, if the weather continues warm, work of the river will commence in about ten days. The trial eights will be picked from the following men who at present constitute the squad...
...Brown basketball team defeated the University team on Saturday evening by the score of 12 to 10 in a close game.

The men are slightly slow both in starting and turning, but this is counterbalanced by accurate shooting and fast skating. Individually the players are fast for heavy men. Callaway and Wilder, the most experienced members of the team, play fast aggressive games and can be depended upon at critical moments. The other two forwards...
...improved. The passing, however, is still erratic and the men are inclined to fumble the ball at critical moments. Against a team which relies on passing and team work, as does Yale, this tendency to ragged play is a severe handicap. Lately the development of team play has been slow on account of injuries to Snyder, Griffith and Murray, who have been unable to play for the last two weeks. These men, however, will be in the line-up tonight...
