...practice yesterday afternoon no line-up was held, but the men were drilled by Coach Barnes in long passes, dribbling, and basket shooting. The work as a whole was good, but all the men are still uncertain in the one hand dribbling and in shooting. The line-up in tonight's game will be as follows: HARVARD. BROWN.

...Freshman basketball team defeated the Cambridge Manual Training School in an exciting game at the Gymnasium last night by the score of 10 to 8.

In covering on the defense the University team was far superior to Princeton and the inability of the Princeton players to follow their men closely was directly responsible for much of the scoring...
...Freshman basketball team will play the Holy Cross freshmen at Worcester this evening. In practice the showing of the Freshman team has been discouraging--the team work has not improved since the first few weeks of practice, and the defense and basket shooting is very poor...
