...Seniors defeated the Juniors last night by a score of 16 to 14 in the first game of the interclass basketball series. From start to finish the game was close and exciting, the score at the end of the first half being 9 to 9. Neither team had at any stage of the game a decided advantage. Both teams showed lack of practice in their team play, but at times the individual work was good. Clark and Smith excelled for the Seniors and Barber for the Juniors...
...University team, which is made up of A. H. Elder '07, G. J. Hirsch '07, and H. Hurwitz '08, has been working steadily since November 6.

Although still behind First Weld at Harvard bridge, they were rowing strongly, and when they were through the bridge they pulled up gradually on the leaders and forged ahead...
...secret football practice yesterday afternoon was very light, as Burr, Kersburg, Orr. Osborne and Wendell were given a day's rest. There was no scrimmage, and the time was chiefly devoted to work tending to make the team start quicker and more together. To this end all the men were given a long drill in starting with the ball. There was a short panting practice, Newhall doing the kicking, and the ends running down the field under the ball, but there was no tackling. A long signal drill followed in which practically all the plays were run through. Coach Reid...
