...Coach Tolbert's charges, in spite of their contest with Tufts last Friday, showed flashes of their usual form yesterday afternoon in a spirited scrimmage at the Freshman Gymnasium, and it is likely that this evening will find them at their best...
Coach Wachter, who had charge of the squad in the absence of Coach Tolbert, laid special emphasis on passing, as well as developing a new forward line offensive play, three men going down the floor together. Although there was a notable decrease of aggressive power in the yearlings' play yesterday, this fact may be attributed to the gruelling contest with Tufts 1925 whom the Freshmen met last week, and there is every reason to believe that the yearlings will be in their usual form against the Boston Y.

Tufts showed their full strength in the second period, when, with Wilson again dominating the floor, the visitors rolled up a substantial lead before Coach Tolbert's players had a chance to recover from the effect of their oppnoents' whirlwind attack.

This course was due to the fact that these two gruelling sessions following so closely upon each other had tired the men to some extent and Coach Wachter, by letting up on heavy work yesterday and today hopes to have the Crimson in top form...
