...final work-out was held by the Crimson yearlings yesterday at the Charlesbank rink in an effort to eradicate the ragged work of the line which was due to lack of practice.

With the contest against Tufts 1925 but two days off, Coach Tolbert has been giving his players stiff work-outs during the past week which culminated in yesterday's scrimmage with the University. Friday's game will be the opening event on the 1925 schedule, and will furnish the coaches with an opportunity to watch the team in action for the first time against an evenly matched quintet...
