...line-up for scrimmage found H. S. Middendorf '16 and A. J. Weatherhead '16 unable to play, Middendorf having a slightly sprained ankle and Weatherhead still out with an injured thumb. Teams A and B battled for twenty minutes without score, but finally, after one blocked effort, W. Whitney '16, from the 25-yard line, lifted a pretty field-goal over the bar for Team B, this being the only score of the afternoon's play.

The large general rooms have ample air space, and the bedrooms and studies are nine feet high...
...Freshman football team came through the Cornell game on Saturday with no serious injuries, and started on its last week of practice with all the men in good condition. Yesterday afternoon, however, Hitchcock, who has been playing a good game at halfback all the season, broke his thumb catching a punt. He will not be able to play in the Yale game. Practice yesterday afternoon was light consisting mostly of secret signal practice in the Baseball Cage...
