...proper condition. The distance men have run a few easy laps and the sprinters and hurdlers have been given light work on the straightaway. Owing to the unfavorable weather yesterday the number of men who reported for work was small. The distance men ran about six laps at a slow pace while the sprinters practised starts and then ran an easy quarter mile. The number of men trying for the hurdle events is still very small and more men are urged to come out. Mr. Garcelon will be on the field next Monday and all hurdlers should report then...

The most noticeably good work in the scrimmage was done by Nichols, who played a fast, aggressive game at left halfback on the first. Nesmith, who played at right half, was slow in starting, and failed to choose his holes well when running with the ball. R. P. Kernan '03 coached the punters, giving special attention to Nichols and H. Kernan...
