...Good cheering without practice is impossible, and for this reason every undergraduate should consider the mass meeting this evening his most important engagement. We have been out-cheered and out-sung--and on our own field--by every college which we have played this season. After so late a start, it is only by the keenest interest and co-operation of all, that we can have a cheering section worthy of the name...
...deciding race between the dormitory crews for the Filley Cup will be rowed down-stream this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. The course starts at the Cottage Farm bridge and finishes opposite the site of the old Boston Athletic Association boathouse, a quarter of a mile below the Harvard bridge. Buoys will be situated at the start and finish to do away with the confusion and to enable the judges to decide the race definitely. It is almost impossible to predict the winner for this afternoon, as in Tuesday's race, not one of the five eights was able...
...race that the inter-dormitory crews rowed yesterday for the Filley Cup will not be counted, and the deciding race will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. In the race yesterday, darkness made it impossible for the crews to line up accurately for the start, as the coxswains could see scarcely a boat's length, and had difficulty in holding their courses after the gun was fired.

At the last minute it was decided to let Hooper start the game in McKay's place, and to have Frothingham go in at left halfback. The ends played well throughout the game, L. D. Smith making a number of beautiful tackles in the open field and receiving two short forward passes, while both he and Houston were down the field under almost every kick. Minot punted nine times, and the Army backs did not run these back for ten yards altogether. Minot...
...field only a few minutes. There was a short signal drill, the men were given a little instruction in their individual faults, and, after running back a number of kick-offs, the first team was sent in. The first team line-up, the one which will probably start the game tomorrow, was as follows: l.e., Houston; l.t., McKay; l.g., L. Withington; c., P. Withington; r.g., Fisher; r.t., Fish; r.e., L. D. Smith; q.b., O'Flaherty; l.h.b., P. D. Smith; r.h.b., Leslie; f.b., Morrison...
