...positions being the only ones satisfactorily provided for. The effect which the new playing rules will have upon the kind of players needed can only be learned by an actual scrimmage, the spring practice giving no cue to the real differences in the game. Although it is true that speed and agility will be essential, nevertheless weight, especially in the line cannot be sacrificed to those ends. It is probable that weight will be even more necessary than under the old rules, since the rush line defense has been weakened and the line will be forced to rely more...
...work last fall was far from giving complete satisfaction. J. S. O'Brien '09 began the season as a promising end, but his playing fell off rapidly in quality, and after the West Point game he ceased to be considered as a promising candidate. He has, however, the requisite speed and weight. G. G. Ball '08 is light and was kept out of the game by a bad shoulder most of last season. J. W.

Simons, besides accepting his only chance, made a clean single, sending McCall to third, from where he scored on a wild pitch. McCall and Leonard played with their usual speed. Of the outfield Harvey had the most chances, and made one splendid catch of Hay's drive over shortstop. Dexter made a fast throw to second base in the fourth and caught Hare off the base, after Thomas had singled to left field...
...seemed to have great reserve power in the stroke. They were given six miles in all, and throughout their shell ran smoothly, shipping very little water. As no attempt has been made to time the work of the university eight, it is impossible to ascertain as yet its exact speed over the four-mile course...
