...from Rindge in a practice game yesterday by 4 to 0, and the form then displayed augurs well for a victory today. Captain Percy and Thacher have showed up especially well lately, the former having but recently been shifted from right wing to right centre in order to strengthen the attack...
...first few minutes of play Phillips did not get warmed up, but when he finally struck his accustomed stride he was in part responsible for four of the five scores made by the University.

The return of Pennock should materially strengthen the line, and throughout the week individual attention will be directed to the perfecting of a stronger forward defence...
