...backfield will do without the services of Captain Wendell in today's game but will nevertheless be a strong aggregation. Gardner will start at quarterback, where he has had experience for two years on the University eleven. He will be depended upon to put a great deal of snap into the team today, and should use the forward pass to good advantage, as he has been practicing it a good deal in the scrimmages of the week. The rest of the backfield will be composed of men from the 1915 team. Brickley and Bradlee will play at halfback...
...prominently was that of Brickley, H. Hardwick, Freedley, Handy, and the first team line as a whole. The first two named succeeded in making long gains, while their team-mate in the backfield, Bradlee, was most useful at interference and charging. Logan at quarterback used a great deal of snap in running the team. Freedley's good work, it can be seen above, was in defending his goal against the long charges of the first team backs. He was spilled once by interference, but twice saved a score by good tackling. Handy played substitute back on the second team...

...crew over the half-mile course up-stream above the University boathouse yesterday afternoon, winning by a scant half-length. The Middlesex crew was about twenty-five pounds lighter to the man than the second Freshman crew, but pressed the Freshmen closely by rowing with a great deal of snap at a high stroke...
Lothrop in the Freshman boat, had good rhythm and plenty of snap to his stroke, and the crew, spacing out well, had little difficulty in increasing its lead to six lengths over the last three-quarters mile of the course. The Sophomores and Seniors continued to row evenly together up to within 100 yards of the finish. Both had rowed good races but the Seniors had no strength left for a final spurt, while the Sophomores, who were still strong, won by a length in the final stretch...
