The sophomore eleven this fall is greatly handicapped by the fact that the majority of old players are working with the 'varsity squad. Nevertheless there should be enough men out on time every day to give the coaches a chance to make up two elevens if they so desire.

Yesterday there were not twenty-two men on the field, and the men were simply coached in various plays. The eleven was composed of the following men: Left end, Norton; left tackle, Stevenson; left guard, Paine; centre, Fox; right guard, Hallowell; right tackle, Lewis; right end, Duff; quarterback, Borden; halfbacks, Harrison and Ingalls; fullback, Hayes. None of these men played in the Yale game last fall, most of the men treating the work in anything but a serious light; but later on, under the coaching of Shea, Rice, and Captain Borden, they braced somewhat, and showed some willingness to learn the lesson set for them.

The most general faults in the playing of the team are slowness in executing plays, and fumbling of the ball by the backs and tackles. The line, although it is rather light, has possibilities which are very encouraging. The centre shows up well, Hallowell especially being a hard and conscientious worker. The backs are light, but eager to follow the advice of the coaches. The men need to show more determination if they expect to make a creditable appearance in the class games.
