...account of the rain, the practice yesterday was rather shorter than usual, but it was also much more spirited. The ball being wet and slippery there was a good deal of fumbling, but apart from this, the backs put up a good game. Brine especially made one long run for a touchdown. He is rather light for a 'Varsity man, but runs hard and dodges well. Newell and Waters were both out coaching in football clothes and gave the opposing tackles some practical lessons in breaking through and tackling. Fairbanks, centre on last year's Freshman team, has been...
...practice of the 'varsity football squad yesterday afternoon was shorter than usual, although more spirited. Wheeler, Bouve and Frank Shaw were in the line-up for the first time, while Donald and Haughton both reappeared on the field, although they did not play. Flershem, of last year's '98 class team, came out to try for end. Dibblee, who was tried at quarter-back, did poorly, being responsible for most of the fumbling on the fourth eleven...

H. Stevenson; centre field, Clark; right field, Burgess; left...
...Ruhmkoff coil consists of two coils; one inside called the primary which is a piece of wire only a few feet long; another on the outside called the secondary which is about a mile long. By passing a strong current through the shorter wire and breaking the current a great electric stress and a high force is obtained. Approximately the 10,000 cells would produce 10,000 volts but the three Ruhmkoff coils used in the experiments last night produced approximately 50,000 volts...
