Wesleyan had the weakest team that has played on Soldiers Field this season, but nevertheless by means of well-executed trick plays managed to make a number of long runs and eventually a touchdown. But on the defense the Wesleyan eleven was entirely helpless and, during the first half, owing partly to Harvard's improved attack, was unable to offer any effective resistance to the plays which resulted in the University team's five touchdowns and goal from the field. The most discouraging...

Stillman '03 has developed fair speed and moderately good control; his arm is getting into shape and he is working hard and conscientiously. He bats fairly well, but has a tendency to over step. H. S. Hutchinson '04 is improving in speed and control. His batting is weak. F. H. Schoenfuss '04 is as yet awkward, being unaccustomed to the new motion. He does not start the ball high...
