Brill was matched against Lamson and easily held his own. He was used effectively in the tandem formation. The Harvard ends were rather slow in getting down the field and Macdonald missed several tackles.

The Weld crew is doing fairly well and shows promise of ability. The general fault of all these crews...
...first long run of the cross country squad was held yesterday afternoon, when the men ran about 4 1-2 miles. The distance will later be increased to 8 miles.
