This afternoon at four o'clock the eleven will line up against Bowdoin for the second game of the season. Bowdoin scored against Harvard last year, and is expected to put up a strong game today. So many members of the football squad have received temporary injuries during the past week that the line-up of the eleven today is very uncertain. While Campbell and Ristine have been laid off, one of them will probably play. Daly has not taken an active part in the practice since the Williams game, and it is not likely that he will play today...
...Ragged as was the interference at times, the first scored twice in the first half, owing to line-plunges by Kendall. Parker and Kendall were both able to gain through the second's line, but as both are running very high, they would be of little use against a strong line...

A bit unsatisfactory, still, is the work of the tackles. Eaton plays too desultorily; and Swain, who was so strong a tackle two years ago on the 'Varsity, has not yet even approached the excellence of which he is capable. Though apt to become over-anxious and get off-side, J. Lawrence, it would seem, has some chance of supplacing Swain. To hold his place, the latter must show some...
