...Henderson, who will take Grant's place at forward, played in several University games last season and by his ability to throw baskets, should increase the scoring powers of the team. K. Smith was also a member of last year's team. He has played a strong game at center on the second team throughout this season. Stinchfield, who will play guard, has the advantage of two years' experience on the Bates College team. Gring and Underwood, the only two men who have played regularly on the team are in excellent condition and may be relied upon to play well...
Individually the men showed excellent form, the forwards and center playing especially well together, both on the offense and defense. The guards, although at times unsteady, played a hard, fast game, continually forcing the Columbia forwards to rely upon long shoots for the basket...
...yesterday's practice several important changes were made in the positions of the forwards.

Roughness characterized the play of both teams especially during the last half.

Grant and Underwood played well together in the first half, but toward the eno slackened in their speed. Randall, at center, covered his opponent much better than usual, but on the defense was still too quick to break away. The guards played throughout an excellent game, both in blocking and in passing to the forwards...
