...Senior trial will take place in Harvard 5 at 7.30 o'clock, and the Junior trial in Sever 11 at 7.30 o'clock. The speeches will be five minutes in length, and six men from each class will be retained for the second and final trial, which will be held on Monday at the same hour and place...
University football practice yesterday afternoon was very listless, owing partly to the large number of substitutes in the scrimmage.

As soon as Parker was taken out it became evident that Harvard's weak places were the three centre positions. Captain Torrey played a hard game against White and opened up holes for the tackle and guard-back plays on both sides of centre, besides breaking through and blocking many plays behind the line. Burr's punting hardly compensated...
