...plan has been recently adopted for the Sophomore Class, which is somewhat similar to the Tutorial System at Princeton. The members of the class of 1908 have been allotted to sixteen different groups, each of which is in charge of a member of the Tutorial Board.

Neither Brill nor Squires fills his position satisfactorily on the defense, but Brill is valuable on the tackle-back play.

Carr, who played in his first game as fullback, was somewhat awkward in running with the ball, but helped the other runners along well. Kersburg played a fast game at guard and stopped several plays by breaking through the line...
