...trick formation from the toss-up worked well, and of the easy opportunities to score thus offered the University players took advantage. In passing and dribbling the work was fast and sure, while the defense was unusually strong. The tendency to slacken play towards the end, however, was still evident, as Princeton was able to score two baskets from the floor in the last three minutes. Captain Griffiths played the best game for the University, his fast work in dribbling and passing completely baffling Princeton's defense. Amberg played a strong game at centre, and was very accurate...
...supervision of Coach Wray. As only eight men at a time can row on the tank, the rest of the squad has practiced on the machines under the direction of the two other coaches, Rice and Stevenson. The three squads are now more or less graded, but are still divided in general into preparatory school oarsmen, dormitory crews, and men without experience. Although the inexperienced men have improved considerably, those who took part in the dormitory races still show the effects of longer practice and greater experience, and put a good swing and hard drive into the stroke...

Burnham and Griffiths break away well, and when the ball is lost they are quick to cover...

The fielding candidates have practiced receiving easy grounders and passing to first base. Some improvement in the work is evident...
...Gymnasium last evening, in a fast and interesting game, by a score of 26 to 10. In all departments of the game the University team showed great improvement over the work of last Saturday. The team work was good, and the shooting very accurate, but the men still had a tendency to dribble out of bounds, or to pass wildly. Both teams committed an inexcusably large number of fouls, and on the free throws thus given Captain Griffith showed the effects of the week's practice. On the defensive the Harvard team was strong, especially in the first half, when...
