...University team had half an hour's secret practice yesterday afternoon before leaving for Philadelphia. The men went through the work briskly and seemed to be in excellent condition to stand the strain of Saturday's game. An innovation introduced was practice in lunging. The men stood in line and at the signal of a pistol shot lunged forward at full length. It is expected that this new mode of practice, though somewhat tardy in its introduction, will be of service to the linemen when playing low on the defense. In the fifteen minutes of sharp signal practice which followed...
...quarter to four the team boarded their special car at the car-barn on Boylston street. A crowd of about four hundred men had gathered and cheered lustily as the car started off, the cheering being led by R. W. Bliss '00. The team went by the Fall River line to New York, whence they will leave this morning for Philadelphia...
Trainer got the ball on a fumble, but the Seniors were soon held for downs. Swan made a brilliant run of twenty-five yards around right end and a moment later Knowles went through Heath for a touchdown. Stillman kicked goal. A fumble gave the ball to 1903 after the next kick-off, and a long run by Knowles with little interference brought the ball down to the 25-yard line. Stillman's field goal followed, but could not be counted...

Finally Shaw went through for a touchdown. The second touchdown was made after a series of long runs by the Freshmen. At the thirty-yard line Knowles took the ball through right tackle and passed it to Derby, who, with excellent interference, ran twenty-five yards for a touchdown. The Freshmen had the ball on the Senior's 35-yard line and were gaining steadily when time was called...
...punted R. Lawrence of the second, and showed much of his old skill in running with the ball. Burnett had frequent chances to kick goals from the field, but owing to the slippery ball succeeded only once. One of his kicks, however, from the fifty-seven yard line, went far above the cross-bar, but outside the post by a few feet. Reid played fullback for a short time, but wrenched his leg slightly and gave way to Brayton. Warren made long gains around the ends and was very successful in shaking off tacklers after his interference had gone...
