...University team spent yesterday afternoon at the Baltimore Country Club, where they had a short signal practice in defence formations and the forward pass. Hoar will start the game today in spite of his injury, but Dunlap will probably take his place later in the game. Smith will be unable to play owing to an injury to his hip, and Gray will take his place at fullback...
...fourth annual Freshman track meet was held yesterday afternoon in the Stadium. On the whole the meet was very successful, and in spite of the cold weather records were broken in the 880-yard run, the 220-yard dash, and the two-mile run.

Hicks deserves great credit for his excellent pitching, which he maintained throughout the game in spite of the poor support accorded him. He allowed but three hits, the first of which came in the sixth inning, and gave only one base on balls. He had the Brown batters guessing at every stage of the contest, and in the ninth inning he made the best...
