...club held its first field meeting of the year at its grounds at Watertown this afternoon. There was a good attendance, the freshman class, especially, being well represented. The members showed their lack of practice, the scores running rather low, though no lower than is usual for the first shoot of the year. The next meeting will be on Thursday or Friday of next week. The leaders in the different matches are as follows...
...ended. I have attended similar gatherings in Heidelberg before, but none which in magnitude and glory could be compared with this. Grave professors, gray-haired students of bygone times, guests, royal and otherwise, jaunty young corps students with their bright-colored caps throng impetuously into the hall.

The team play is superb, the blocking and passing excellent, though the catching strangely uncertain; the running is fair; the tackling is too high and consequently appears weak. On the whole Yale will have to do better than yesterday to beat Princeton, but no doubt...
