...loss of Saturday's track meet to Yale can be attributed to deplorable weakness of the University in the field events. Whereas, in spite of the injuries to several of the best runners, the University track men scored thirty-two points to an equal number registered by Yale, only eight and two-thirds points out of a possible forty were scored in the field events. Last year the same defect all but lost the meet, and the defeat of the Freshmen at the hands of Yale on Saturday was glaringly due to total inadequacy in the same five events...
...spite of the rough water on the Charles River Basin yesterday afternoon, University A and the Freshman crews held a long practice. Not much could be told as to the form of the crews, for it was rather a task to keep the shells from rolling.

...baseball team defeated Milton Academy, 3 to 1, at Milton, yesterday afternoon. The victory was due, in the main, to superior batting by the Freshmen, who found Tisdale for eight hits, in spite of the latter's exceptional performance of 17 strike-outs.

In addition he suggests that radicalism and thought are identical...
...usual blackboard talk was held and the various positions were gone over by Field Coach L. H. Leary '05. The work on the field was necessarily of a light nature. The ends were given practice running down under kicks and the backs were instructed in receiving punts. In spite of the heavy balls the kicking was unusually good. The line was under the direct charge of Coach Leary, who gave them easy drill in breaking through. The whole squad tackled the dummies, the line being directed by Captain H. H. Dadmun '16 and the ends and backs by Coach Leary...
