...this meeting Dean Briggs will speak on the new scheme of giving the beer nights this year, and it is very important that all members of the committee attend. Instead of sending out written invitations as in former years, each member of the committee is expected to visit ten or twelve Freshmen, and invite them personally to a small beer night in his room. Very few upperclassmen will be invited to these beer nights, as they are designed especially for Freshmen. President Eliot may possibly speak before the meeting...
...football practice yesterday afternoon was fairly encouraging, for the first eleven scored one goal from the field on the second team in a ten-minute scrimmage, after rushing the ball steadily from their own 55-yard line to within 10 yards of the opposing goal. Six substitutes were played on the first team: Fraser, centre; Warren, right tackle; Hall, quarterback; Lincoln, left half; Lockwood, right half; and Mason, full back. Kennard, who has recovered from a sprained ankle, played in Macdonald's place at right end. Hall tried three drop kicks in the scrimmage, missing two of them on account...

Lockwood punted, the first eleven regaining the ball after it had been blocked.

Lincoln rushed a few yards in the next scrimmage, and then Mason was given the ball three times in succession, gaining 9 yards on the first two plays...

The University team secured the ball on its 49-yard line on a punt, and after rushing a few yards, was put back 15 yards for holding. Hall gave Miller a quarterback kick which the latter recovered on the 30-yard line. Lockwood lost...
...outplayed the heavy Syracuse team by resorting to an open kicking game, for great gains were made on short kicks Yale men recovering the ball. Although the Syracuse eleven seemed to get off their plays with fair speed, Yale's strong secondary defence repeatedly stopped them before the necessary ten yards could be gained. T. Jones made several long runs, one the entire length of the field, carrying the ball from a kick-off over the line for a touchdown...
