Messrs. W. H. Herrick, '82, and S. Williston, '82, entered in the mile maiden-race for riders that had never taken a prize. Williston reserved himself till the fourth lap; and then, by a brilliant spurt, he took the lead, and won by a hundred yards...
With this brilliant record to look back upon, our men played to win last Saturday. Britannia won the toss, and played with the wind, which was blowing hard. Harvard kicked off, and the sides were so much more evenly matched than in the previous game, that the ball was kept for the most part in the middle of the ground.

It is a brilliant ending for those who will play no more on Harvard's side, and may well serve as a model for those who are to take their places the coming year...
