Noyes was disappointing at quarter. He Noyes was disappointing at quarter. He repeatedly called for punts, the handling of which on the wet ground and with a slippery ball, was very difficult and proved disastrous; there seemed, moreover, to be no occasion for them, as the team did not once fail to make its distance on rushes. Le Moyne's nervousness in getting the punts off only made matters worse. Carrick was ineffective in the line, and a bad pass by him helped complete the ill-success of the punting. Bowditch played his usual good game at right...
...Freshman football eleven was defeated by the Groton School team at Groton on Saturday, in an uninteresting game, by the score of 12 to 0. Although the wet weather was more favorable to the Freshmen because of their superior weight, they were outclassed by their opponents in nearly every department of play. Their team-work was poor and the men lacked aggressiveness. The backs were slow in starting and the linemen played too high and did not work together.

...candidates for the track team had regular practice yesterday on Soldiers Field. The track was in good condition considering the wet weather but as the take-offs were still soft, the high-jumpers and pole-vaulters did not practice.

Only a few of the shot-putters and hammer-throwers practiced on account of the soft condition of the field...
...good take-off on the Advocate and a few clever jokes and poems make the current number of the Lampoon fairly readable. Of the illustrations the Chart for Navigating the Yard in wet weather is one of the cleverest drawings that has appeared in the paper this year. The ideas of some of the other illustrations are also clever, but in most cases the execution is very rough and unfinished. A well-executed and artistic drawing has not appeared in the last few numbers of the Lampoon...
