...Captain Tilton, halfback, and Glaser, fullback, are in the game every minute and are constantly breaking up their opponents' plays. But the other men are good, too; they all are getting onto the game better as time goes on and by next year we ought to have an all-star team...
Against the Yale and the M. I. T. harriers the yearlings have already run, trailing the one and defeating the other. Both these teams have one individual star--Walker of Technology and Campbell of Yale, who broke the tape in their respective races.

Armstrong is suffering from a lame shoulder and must stay on the side-lines today...
