The class football teams have now been practicing for a period of over three weeks in preparation for the class championship series next week. The Senior and Junior elevens are both fully up the average standard for class teams, but the Sophomores are not yet well shaken together. The Junior team is perhaps the most advanced of any, by reason of having a good second eleven to practice against every day, besides having had outside games. A large number of the men now on the team were out last year and may be called experienced. The team shows good spirit, and the candidates are about evenly matched, except in a few cases, but there is not as good team work as might be expected at this stage.

The Senior eleven has not a sufficient number of candidates to form a good squad. Many of the men are experienced, however, and have had valuable coaching, notably by J. S. Cranston '91. The game between the Seniors and Juniors should be a good one. The Sophomore eleven is the weakest of all. A small number of men came out at first, and although many more have joined the squad, they are mostly light and new to the game.

The Freshman eleven is rather backward for this time of the year. This is partially explained by the unusually long season, the last game coming on November 25, so that the men are still at work on elementary football. They have some very good material, however, and a good chance of developing a fast eleven, although heavy men are lacking.

The Junior eleven will probably play a practice game against the Sophomores this afternoon.
