...compelled to play against a strong wind, which not only made rushing difficult, but prevented getting the ball away from the goal at several crucial moments. All things considered, the University eleven, with the exception of the forward line, played a very good, hard game. Team-work has improved somewhat, but a thorough and instinctive knowledge of the game is not yet displayed in the rushes. Springfield, on the other hand, exhibited a great deal of skill in all departments, being especially excellent in passing...
...will have read a very interesting outline of the Freshman Dormitories. Did you know that we have a system of social-climbing, called swiping? Our fathers and elder brothers had it; but along with so many other traditions, it is out-dated and, so far as we know, has somewhat lost its importance, under any name, as a clearly defined College sport. And did you know that "regarded as an instrument of democracy and efficiency, it (the Harvard Union) has been a dreary waste of time, of money, and of enthusiasm?"

...University's attack was somewhat more powerful and exhibited more versatility than usual, using both line and open plays to advantage.

Logan scored the third by getting away for a dash of 40 yards, and Bettle the fourth after a long series of line bucks. The fifth and last score came when Dana crossed the line on a successfully manipulated forward pass...

...right end, with Gilman taking his place at tackle. The new combination worked with as few slips as could be expected in the first scrimmage. It was Gilman who stopped Hardwick on the 1-yard line, when the distance meant a touchdown. Captain Storer played a good but somewhat erratic game, once letting Hardwick get outside him for a 25-yard gain, but at another time throwing him behind the line for a 10-yard loss. On punts, he showed about the same speed as O'Brien in getting down under the ball...
