...backfield, in spite of the fact that it will be made up entirely of new men, promises to be the strongest Brown has had in years, having both weight and speed. The most likely candidates for the rush positions are: Huggenweig, Gordon, and Norcross. The line will be more of a problem. While there is an abundance of fairly good material, the squad does not contain enough stars for the line to be fully commensurate with the backfield...
...Coach Roger Greene, the old Pennsylvania lineman, has created a new brand of football at Bates. He had nothing but speed to work with and so he made speed an essential requisite for a position on the team which he has created. The line being too weak to hold off the opponents long enough for a punting game he has developed an exceedingly open and highly daring offence which depends chiefly on the forward pass. In the meantime he has not neglected to prepare and adequate defence. Coach Greene and Director Purinton do not expect to win against Harvard...

In the afternoon, conditions were better and the University crew followed by the Freshman paddled three miles down-stream and back at a low stroke, special attention being paid to working well together and no attempt being made at speed. Late in the afternoon, Mr. Herrick took the second crew down to the Navy Yard. On the return trip, a mile was rowed at a high stroke to accustom the men to fast pace, but no attempt at time was made...

Felton, of last year's team, started in the box for the visitors but he lacked both curves and his former speed, and retired in favor of Hicks in the first of the seventh. Hicks was a puzzle to the University batters as they were unable to secure a safe hit from him. His control was not of the best, however, as he gave two bases on balls which later proved disastrous. Both Felton and Hicks...
