...Worcester Academy on Saturday in an uninteresting game by the score of 12-6. The defense of the Freshman team again proved very weak, especially on the ends, where Worcester's well-formed interference was able to make several long gains. On the offense, however, the team showed considerable speed, but the interference on end plays was so ragged that no long gains could be made...
...fail to show expected progress under rigorous coaching and the tackles give evidence of discouraging weakness in their defensive play. In the centre of the line the situation, as has been the case all year, is more encouraging. The three centre men work together smoothly and are gaining in speed...
...play and accurate placing, but Bishop and Lyon soon braced up and by brilliant net play and hard smashing pulled out the next three sets and the match.

The Larneds lost much of their speed and control in the latter part of the match and their defeat is due largely to this fact...

Of the tackles used, Knowlton and Wright were the most satisfactory. They both have a good deal to learn, but their speed and strength is encouraging. Jones played his position well, but showed his old fault of not being able to follow the ball. Behind the line Graydon, Tenney and Piper showed good judgment in running, but lacked the necessary speed. In the open field they hesitated and lost good chances to score...
