Williams had the ball at the beginning of the second half and at once forced it to Harvard's five-yard line, when Harvard began for the first time to play with some snap. The ball went to Harvard on four downs. Sears kicked and Cumnock got the ball. Harvard forced the ball towards Williams' goal, but lost considerable ground by the decisions of the umpire in favor of Williams for off-side play by Harvard. Harvard finally got the ball on the Williams fifteen-yard line, and rushes by Sears carried the ball across the line. The ball...
...After their disastrous defeat at Cambridge, the Princeton team played without snap, and in an altogether discouraged way when they met Yale. All they cared for was to get through without disgrace, and then-then to set every possible wheel in motion to win in 1888. What is the result? They have brought back two of their team of 1886-two men who were noted then as their strongest players, one of whom had been elected captain of the team of 1887, but had been unable to return for that year. They have made arrangements for the most systematic management...

The Worcester men were very light, but played a plucky game and tackled unusually well, the best work being done by Allen, Lake and Patterson. The Harvard men played with as much steadiness and snap as could be expected when the brief time they have been in training is considered...
...over their play of Tuesday, and if they continue to play in such good form they may win the championship after all. Their throwing is still weak, and most men do not body-check well; but there was a noticeable improvement in this point. Every man played with a snap and vigor which is in striking contrast to the usual listless work of the team. Amory, Walcott and Everett did especially good work on the defence. Davis played home instead of defence as usual, and made the only goal of the game...
...third winter meeting of the H. A. A. last Saturday, was a very successful one. The attendance was good but there was not such a jam as to render it uncomfortable. The events went off with considerable snap and vigor and the meeting closed before anyone had a chance to be bored at the sameness which the various feats must have in a meeting of this sort. The performance began with work on the horizontal bar: C. A. Goeble, '88; G. L. Barney, '90; F. B. Myers, '90; and J. B. Henderson, '91, gave a very good exhibition. Henderson carried...
