...will be possible to obtain an idea of the real strength of the University eleven in the game with Brown at 3 o'clock this afternoon. As Boal and Reid will be the only men missed from the line-up, Harvard will be able to oppose a good team to the strong Brown eleven. The latter has a good record for this season, and in past seasons has always played games which proved of great value to Harvard elevens. It will require strong team play to break up Harvard's defense, and the offensive work should be effective...
...Senior and Junior elevens are about equal in strength. Both have a fairly effective interference and as a rule play aggressively. Their chief fault seems to be carelessness, which shows itself frequently in fumbling and offside play. The Freshmen have improved very rapidly of late, and ought to give a good account of themselves. The Sophomore team is composed wholly of new material, and is consequently weak...

...game scheduled for yesterday between C. M. T. S. and the Freshman eleven could not be played because the Freshmen had not taken their strength tests. The Juniors took the place of the Freshmen, however, and two short halves were played. In the first half, the Juniors, who had several substitutes playing, were pushed steadily back, and a touchdown would probably have been scored against them but for the call of time. With several new men in the line-up, the Juniors, started the second half with a rush, but although they gained continually, they were unable to score...
...team with discretion, tackled hard and was a useful man in the interference. Kendall; individually, was strong, but was of little service as an interferer. As Gierasch has strained a ligament in his leg, Parker played throughout the game. In spite of his light weight, he again proved his strength as a halfback. Ellis took Kendall's place in the second half, and, by carefully following his interference, made several long runs. He also made consistent gains on line plunges...
