...study of the Yale team of this season. It may be fancied a trifle lighter than usual, but not much; the rush-line was heavy enough to carry Stevens before it with every effort. The team play is superb, the blocking and passing excellent, though the catching strangely uncertain; the running is fair; the tackling is too high and consequently appears weak. On the whole Yale will have to do better than yesterday to beat Princeton, but no doubt will improve vastly with the coming month's play...
...church, or for any other career with which he would identify himself with the hopes of success. But. while this natural inclination may exist in many cases, the fact is that politics offers no inducement as a profession to the young men of America.

A strong wind was blowing from left field and the air was damp and chilly. The pitching was thus more uncertain than usual. Both ??? and Nichols seemed to have much difficulty in making their curves confirm to the fitful gusts of wind. The outfield was very soft, and many of the base hits would have been good for two basers on a hard field...
